MECHANICAL DATA DESCRIPTION
Pinning: The TSOP4038 is a compact IR receiver for sensor
1 = OUT, 2 = GND., 3 = VS 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.

The external components R1 and C1 are optional
2 to improve the robustness against electrical overstress
PIN GND (typical values are R1 = 100 Ω, C1 = 0.1 µF).
The output voltage VO should not be pulled down to a level
below 1 V by the external circuit.
The capacitive load at the output should be less than 2 nF.
