Hello all,
I'm trying to build a simple IR remote with what I have on hand. I got a pack of these nifty QSE157-ND from digikey sitting in their packages still unopened never used. I would like to use them for this simple project.
I can start plugging them into a breadboard and fiddling with them but I'd much rather understand what the datasheet is saying first. I've taken basic electronics courses about 10 years ago, but I do not recall learning about Totem-pole outputs. In fact I can use a refresher but I'd rather do it as I go along in projects. I've searched briefly about totem-pole outputs but everything I found is an over-complicated explanation. I would rather not digress and focus on this particular application.
Can anyone help explain this to me? How does the Totem-Pole Inverter output work and how does that differ from the other versions? Also, why does the voltage regulator only have an input and not an output? How is it regulating the voltage?
