Code Learning IC integrates signal detection and processing.
July 27, 2012 -
Optimized for universal remote controllers, Model VSOP98260 simplifies code learning process by amplifying and shaping signal received by infrared emitter present in devices. RoHS-compliant IC can receive any carrier frequency from 20-60 kHz, and can also be used in tablet PCs and smartphones that are enabled with IR emitter. Housed in 2 x 2 x 0.7 mm QFN package, Model VSOP98260 operates from -25 to +85°C with supply voltage from 2.0-3.6 V and supply current of 0.6-0.9 mA.

Vishay Unveils Industry-1st Remote Control Code Learning IC With Signal Detection & Processing
Designed for Universal Remote Controllers, Tablets, and Smartphones, IC Is Compatible With All Remote Control Data Formats
MALVERN, Pa. - The Optoelectronics group of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced the industry's first remote control code learning IC to integrate signal detection and processing into one component. Optimized for universal remote controllers, the VSOP98260 simplifies the code learning process by amplifying and shaping the signal received by the infrared emitter already present in these devices. The VSOP98620 also can be used in tablet PCs and smartphones that are enabled with an infrared emitter.
In order to transmit valid commands, universal control devices must learn the modulation frequency and pulse patterns for each appliance being controlled. The most intuitive method for teaching them the correct code is to use the appliance's remote control, placing it nose-to-nose with the universal controller. When a key is pressed, the infrared emitter transmits the pulses associated with this function and the universal controller receives the code and stores it in memory.
Before the VSOP98260, signal detection and processing functions for code learning in universal control devices required discrete solutions. By combining these functions into one component, the IC released today simplifies designs in these devices, saving space and reducing overall costs. The output from the VSOP98260 accurately corresponds to the carrier frequency and data burst length of the input signal while being immune to noise from other light sources such as compact fluorescent lamps.
The VSOP98260 can receive any carrier frequency from 20 kHz to 60 kHz, and it operates on a supply voltage from 2.0 V to 3.6 V and a supply current of 0.6 mA to 0.9 mA. The IC is packaged in a small 2 mm by 2 mm QFN package with a low height of 0.7 mm. The RoHS-compliant device operates over a temperature range of - 25 °C to + 85 °C and is compliant to WEEE 2002/96/EC, free of halogens, and compatible with lead (Pb)-free soldering.
Samples and production quantities of the new VSOP98260 IC are available now, with a lead time of six weeks for large orders. Pricing for U.S. delivery only starts at $0.40 per piece in 3,000-piece (one reel) quantities. Follow IR receiver modules from Vishay at http://twitter.com/vishayindust.
