DESCRIPTION

MECHANICAL DATA

The TSSP58038 is a compact IR receiver for sensor

applications. It has a high gain for IR signals at 38 kHz. The
detection level does not change when ambient light or
strong IR signals are applied. It can receive continuous
38 kHz signals or 38 kHz bursts.
This component has not been qualified according to
automotive specifications.

Pinning:
1 = OUT, 2 = GND, 3 = VS
