Description

This Digital 38kHz Infrared Receiver Module is a fundamental component for infrared communication and sensing projects. It is tuned to detect the 38kHz modulated infrared light commonly emitted by TV remotes and other IR transmitters, filtering out ambient light noise for reliable operation.

Featuring a digital output that toggles upon receiving a valid signal, it interfaces directly with microcontroller input pins without requiring analog-to-digital conversion. The module’s 940nm wavelength and approximately 35-degree reception angle make it suitable for short to medium-range applications up to around 10 meters under ideal conditions.

Key Features

  • Precise detection of 38kHz modulated infrared signals for remote control systems.
  • Digital TTL-level output provides a clean, on/off signal for microcontrollers.
  • Integrated indicator LED lights up upon successful IR signal reception for easy debugging.
  • Wide operating temperature range from -25°C to +85°C ensures stable performance.
  • Plug-and-play design with standard 3-pin header (VCC, GND, OUT) for rapid prototyping.
  • Compact PCB design allows for easy mounting in enclosures and final products.

Applications

  • TV, air conditioner, and appliance remote control signal reception.
  • IR-based proximity sensing and obstacle detection for robots.
  • DIY home automation systems for controlling lights and devices.
  • Educational electronics projects demonstrating infrared communication.
  • Simple IR data transmission links between microcontroller projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect this IR receiver module to an Arduino Uno?

Connect the module's VCC pin to Arduino's 5V, GND to GND, and the OUT/Signal pin to any digital input pin (e.g., D2). Use the IRremote library to decode signals. The onboard LED will blink when a valid 38kHz signal is received, confirming the connection is working.

Can this module receive signals from any infrared remote?

Yes, it can receive signals from most common consumer remotes (TVs, DVD players) that use a 38kHz modulation frequency. The raw data codes differ by manufacturer, but libraries like IRremote for Arduino can decode and identify many standard protocols such as NEC, Sony, and RC5.

What is the purpose of the 38kHz frequency?

The 38kHz frequency is a carrier wave used to modulate the infrared signal. The receiver is tuned to this specific frequency to filter out ambient light and other infrared noise, ensuring reliable and accurate detection of intentional commands from a compatible remote control transmitter.
