MECHANICAL DATA
Pinning:
1 = OUT, 2 = VS, 3 = GND
FEATURES
• Very low supply current
• Photo detector and preamplifier in one
package
• Internal filter for PCM frequency
• Improved shielding against EMI
• Supply voltage: 2.5 V to 5.5 V
• Improved immunity against ambient light
• Insensitive to supply voltage ripple and noise
• Compliant to RoHS directive 2002/95/EC and in
accordance to WEEE 2002/96/EC
DESCRIPTION
The TSOP391.., TSOP393.. and TSOP395.. series are
miniaturized receivers for infrared remote control systems. A
PIN diode and a preamplifier are assembled on a lead frame,
the epoxy package acts as an IR filter.
The demodulated output signal can be directly decoded by
a microprocessor. The TSOP391.. is compatible with all
common IR remote control data formats. The TSOP393.. is
optimized to better suppress spurious pulses from energy
saving fluorescent lamps. The TSOP395.. has an excellent
noise suppression. It is immune to dimmed LCD
backlighting and any fluorescent lamps. AGC3 and AGC5
may also suppress some data signals in case of continuous
transmission.
This component has not been qualified according to
automotive specifications.

The external components R1 and C1 are optional
to improve the robustness against electrical overstress
(typical values are R1 = 100 Ω, C1 = 0.1 µF).
The output voltage VO should not be pulled down to a level
below 1 V by the external circuit.
The capacitive load at the output should be less than 2 nF.

SUITABLE DATA FORMAT
The TSOP391.., TSOP393.. and TSOP395.. series are
designed to suppress spurious output pulses due to noise
or disturbance signals. Data and disturbance signals can be
distinguished by the devices according to carrier frequency,
burst length and envelope duty cycle. The data signal
should be close to the band-pass center frequency (e.g. 38
kHz) and fulfill the conditions in the table below.
When a data signal is applied to the TSOP391.., TSOP393..
and TSOP395.. in the presence of a disturbance signal, the
sensitivity of the receiver is reduced to insure that no
spurious pulses are present at the output. Some examples
of disturbance signals which are suppressed are:
• DC light (e.g. from tungsten bulb or sunlight)
• Continuous signals at any frequency
• Modulated noise from fluorescent lamps with electronic
ballasts (see figure 15 or figure 16) Fig. 15 - IR Signal from Fluorescent Lamp
with Low Modulation
Fig. 16 - IR Signal from Fluorescent Lamp
with High Modulation
Note
• For data formats with long bursts (more than 10 carrier cycles) please see the datasheet for TSOP392.., TSOP394.
