hi friends,actually now i have to do a project based on ir transmitter & receiver.
i have a query that whether the ir transmitter & receiver are found readymade in the market or we have to prepare it.frequency is not a problem with me.whatever frequency we need basically ir tx & rx to complete the ckt.
if receiver & transmitter are found in pair,then how can i get specification of these.we need an ir transmitter & receiver pair which can be used for distance 15m.

Something like the TSOP4838 would be good as a reciever for the range you need. Trying to do it with a plain IR phototransistor would be tricky.
The transmitter will have to be fairly high peak current, maybe 500mA or 1A and modulated at whatever frequency reciever you choose.

Hello,

I merged the two threads.
The subject is the same and posted afther eachother.

sorry brother!actually,i am a new member.
my question may be stupid type but plz ans
actually,i need an ir tx & rx.i just want to ask if i get a pair & if i put tx in a ckt & rx in another in line of sight,then ckt will be completed or not or sth more i have to do(like phototransister or 555 timer).plz help me in detail.this is basic of my project.

U cannot get a good connection just by pointing the two IR face to face, ( u will get something at close range).

U need to Modulate the information tht u want to sent with a carrier and then transmit. Then u have to demodulate this from the receiver side to get the info out.

Modulation will get u plenty of distance.

To Modulate and drive an IR led u need something like 555 Timer or there are standard components to make this part easier.
OR u can use programmable IC
