LF0038KAHA. For more information, see the attachment.

IR circuit layout recommendations

  • Place the filter capacitor as close to the IC pin as possible.
  • The IR LEDs are evenly arranged. It is recommended to place one piece perpendicular to the PCB, and one piece every 60° on the outer ring (30° to 40° with the PCB).
  • It is recommended that the current limiting resistor package of the IR LED should not be less than 0805.
  • After the power supply filtering is completed, the front surface of the receiver shall be kept away from direct light.
