Suitable Data Format

The circuit of the TSOP312.. is designed in that way
that unexpected output pulses due to noise or distur-
bance signals are avoided. A bandpass filter, an inte-
grator stage and an automatic gain control are used
to suppress such disturbances.

IR Signal
The distinguishing mark between data signal and dis-
turbance signal are carrier frequency, burst length
and duty cycle.
The data signal should fulfill the following conditions: IR Signal from fluorescent
lamp with low modulation
• Carrier frequency should be close to center fre-
quency of the bandpass (e.g. 38 kHz).
0 5 10 15 20
• Burst length should be 10 cycles/burst or longer. 16920 Time ( ms )
• After each burst which is between 10 cycles and 70
cycles a gap time of at least 14 cycles is necessary. Figure 15. IR Signal from Fluorescent Lamp with low Modulation

• For each burst which is longer than 1.8 ms a corre-

sponding gap time is necessary at some time in the
data stream. This gap time should be at least 4 times
longer than the burst. IR Signal from fluorescent
lamp with high modulation
• Up to 800 short bursts per second can be received
continuously.
Some examples for suitable data format are: NEC
IR Signal

Code (repetitive pulse), NEC Code (repetitive data),

Toshiba Micom Format, Sharp Code, RC5 Code,
RC6 Code, R-2000 Code, Sony Code.
When a disturbance signal is applied to the
TSOP312.. it can still receive the data signal. How-
ever the sensitivity is reduced to that level that no
0 5 10 15 20
unexpected pulses will occur. 16921 Time ( ms )
Some examples for such disturbance signals which
are suppressed by the TSOP312.. are: Figure 16. IR Signal from Fluorescent Lamp with high Modulation
• DC light (e.g. from tungsten bulb or sunlight)
• Continuous signal at 38 kHz or at any other fre-
quency
• Signals from fluorescent lamps with electronic bal-
last with high or low modulation
( see Figure 15 or Figure 16 ).
