Description
The IRM-3638N3S13F4-P device is miniature type
infrared remote control system receiver which has
been developed and designed by utilizing the most
updated IC technology.
The PIN diode and preamplifier are assembled on
lead frame, the epoxy package is designed as an IR
filter.
The demodulated output signal can directly be
decoded by a microprocessor.
Applications
• Light detecting portion of remote control
• AV instruments such as Audio, TV, VCR, CD, MD, etc.
• Home appliances such as Air-conditioner, Fan, etc.
• The other equipments with wireless remote control.
• CATV set top boxes
• Multi-media Equipment

Test Method
The specified electro-optical characteristics is satisfied under the following Conditions at the controllable
distance.
1. Measurement place
A place that is nothing of extreme light reflected in the room.
2. External light
Project the light of ordinary white fluorescent lamps which are not high
Frequency lamps and must be less then 10 Lux at the module surface.
(Ee 10Lux)≦
3. Standard transmitter
A transmitter whose output is so adjusted as to Vo=400mVp-p and the output Wave form shown in
Fig.-1.According to the measurement method shown in Fig.-2 the standard transmitter is specified. However,
the infrared photodiode to be used for the transmitter should be λp=940nm,Δλ=50nm. Also, photodiode is
used of PD438B (Vr=5V). (Standard light / Light source temperature 2856°K).
