This IR receiver works great for remote control application on your microcontroller. It runs on 38 kHz, a common frequency for remote control transmitter.

The actual receiver is housed in a steel case. It can work with both 3.3V and 5V system and the distance from the transmitter can be up to 20m.

Features:

• Tuned frequency: 38 kHz
• Very low supply current
• Improved shielding against EMI
• Supply voltage: 2.7 V to 5.5 V
• Improved immunity against ambient light
