The Infrared Receiver LED is a silicon photodiode optimized to detect infrared light at a peak wavelength of 940nm, commonly used in TV remote controls and IR data links. It operates in photoconductive mode, where incident IR photons generate a photocurrent proportional to the light intensity, requiring reverse biasing for optimal sensitivity and response time.
With a power dissipation rating of 100mW and a maximum reverse voltage of 5V, this component is designed for low-voltage digital and analog circuits. Its wide -40°C to +100°C operating temperature range ensures reliable performance in various environmental conditions, making it suitable for both consumer electronics and industrial sensing applications.
