tsop1738 brasil

Hi friends,
I was just trying to study IR led and Sensor (tsop1738) somedays back i made this circuit, when i give power to IR led the output of tsop1738 goes low and when i removed power from led the output used to become high. but, today when i was trying to build the same circuit, the output remains high even if i give power to led or remove the power. i tried changing the components also.

Can someone please help me out in finding out my mistake.

Thanks.
 

Re: IR led & tsop1738

Seemingly doesn't exist any mistake. Did you already change IR LED and the TSOP1738? Pay attention on max. current on IR LED.

I've Tried changing each and every component. can u please suggest some other value for resistors.

thanks
 

Re: IR led & tsop1738

This can't work because tsop1738
require (and only detect) a 38khz carrier,

so you need an 38khz oscillator to drive the ir led.

hi aProgrammer
thanks for replying ...i know tsop1738
require a 38khz carrier but i hve done this before without any carrier and it did work out very properly...i used it in a small robot (for making its eyes).....

i think the first step in any ir recievers is bpf with a specified center freq so i think that it will neglect low freq which u made by adding and removing power of the ir transmitter.
