SUITABLE DATA FORMAT
The TSOP852.., TSOP854 series are designed to suppress
spurious output pulses due to noise or disturbance signals.
Data and disturbance signals can be distinguished by the
devices according to carrier frequency, burst length and
envelope duty cycle. The data signal should be close to the
band-pass center frequency (e.g. 38 kHz) and fulfill the
conditions in the table below.
When a data signal is applied to the TSOP852.., TSOP854
in the presence of a disturbance signal, the sensitivity of the
receiver is reduced to insure that no spurious pulses are
present at the output. Some examples of disturbance signals
which are suppressed are:
• DC light (e.g. from tungsten bulb or sunlight)
• Continuous signals at any frequency
• Strongly or weakly modulated noise from fluorescent
lamps with electronic ballasts (see figure 13 or figure 14)
