Description The IC U2538B is a complete IR receiver for data communication. The useful input signals are separated by a special input circuit and amplified by a gain-controlled amplifier. The bandpass filter suppresses the off-band signals. The signal detector, consisting of a demodulator, an integrator and a Schmitt trigger, forms the input signal to an output pulse that can be interfaced to a microcomputer. The AGC and the ATC circuit control the receiver's sensitivity, making it insensitive to ambient light sources. Figure 1-1.

Functional Description 3.1 Input Stage (TIA) The input stage provides the necessary bias voltage for the photo diode and ensures decoupling of the useful signal. This involves processing the DC and AC portions in separate parts of the circuit: the bias voltage (BIAS) and the transimpedance amplifier circuit (TIA). The bias voltage circuit operates like a load resistor with respect to the photo diode, the value of which is low for DC and low-frequency signals (3 to 100 kΩ), but as high as possible for the operating frequency (100 kHz to 1 MHz) depending on the input current). The ac portion of the input signal feeds an inverted amplifier with a sufficiently low input resistance (Zi < 10 kΩ). If the input resistance is too high, the useful signal will be lost due to the junction capacitance of the photodiode. 3.2 Controlled Gain Amplifier (CGA) The controlled gain amplifier accounts for the greatest part of the voltage gain and can be controlled via the voltage at CAGC (pin 2). Gain control is needed to support the interference suppression of the detector. High-pass behavior results from the capacitive coupling of the individual stages. The cut-off frequency is approximately 20 kHz. 3.3 Bandpass Filter (BPF) The bandpass filter basically consists of integrated components. An external resistor determines the mid-frequency. The filter quality is about 7 and is practically independent of the selected midfrequency (see Figure 3-1). The following formula can be used for calculating the resistor, Rf0: 8855 R fO (k Ω) = ------------------ – 13 f 0 (kHz) where: 20 kHz < f0 < 60 kHz Figure 3-1.

This prevents interferences which may arise during transmission from affecting the output. The advantage of the circuit is achieved if its output voltage exceeds VTh (Comp 1). That is the case when the input signal strength is more than twice as much as the minimum detectable signal intensity. 3.5 Automatic Gain Control (AGC) The automatic gain control improves the circuit's resistance to interference by adapting the amplification of the gain-controlled amplifier to the relevant existing interference level. In order to prevent the circuit from responding to transmitted data signals, it gradually reduces the sensitivity, but only if the duty cycle exceeds a specific value (see Figure 3-2). When using telegrams with higher duty cycles than this value, the capacitor, CAGC, maintains the sensitivity for a certain time period. A higher capacitance enables a longer transmission time. A capacitance of C1 = 22 nF is adequate for most known telegrams. A typical value for the maximum duty cycle (DC) can be calculated by the following formula: N DC max = ------------------------------------14.2 + 1.1 × N Figure 3-2. Duty Cycle Transmitted Burst (N cycles) t pl = N f DC = t pl T T N ≥ 6; f = 20 kHz to 60 kHz 3.6 Detector The output signal of the bandpass filter is compared to a fixed reference (Comp 1) and to a reference generated by the ATC circuit (Comp 2). The output of the comparator with the higher threshold voltage controls the integrator. Using the integrator keeps the output free of short-time interference. The integrator drives the output stage after being processed through a Schmitt trigger. The internal pull-up resistor can replace an external resistor in some applications. 5 4717B–IRRC–09/05 4.
