Where to use TSOP-1738 Sensor

The TSOP sensor has the ability to read the output signals from home remotes like TV remote, Home theatre remote, AC remote etc.. All these
remotes will work with a frequency of 38kHz and this IC can pick up any IR signals process them and provide the output on pin 3. So if you are
looking for a sensor to analyse, re-create or duplicate the functions of a remote then this IC will be the perfect choice for you.

Also keep in mind that this series TSOP-1738 will receive only 38Khz IR signals. All remotes in India will operate in 38Khz, kindly ensure if it is the
same in your country.

How to test and use TSOP-1738 Sensor

The TSOP-1738 is an IR Receiver Sensor, which can be used to receive IR signals of 38Khz. The sensor operates on 5V and consumes around
5mA to operate. Normally the signal pin (pin 3) IC is connected to a microcontroller to analyse the IR signal received. But let’s consider that you
just purchased the IC and you want to check it is working. To do those just connect your TSOP as shown in the test circuit below

Now use any IR remote that’s lying around in your home and press any button on it. You should notice the Green Led blinking each time you
(/) the sensor is working as it has to be. Now, you can proceed with any MCU or MPU to 
press any button. This is just to ensure that decode the
received IR signal. Once the IR signal is decoded you can re-create it using an IR Blaster.
