SUITABLE DATA FORMAT
The TSOP12.. series is 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 TSOP12.. 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
Strongly or weakly 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

For data formats with short bursts please see the data sheet for TSOP11.., TSOP13.
