R12 = 560ΩR11 & R12 forms a voltage divider to lower the 6V depending on the IR operating voltage. C5 is used to stabilize that voltage.
You may be correct.R12 = 560Ω
R11 =100kΩ
Doesn't really work as an effective voltage divider.
I would say that R12 and C5 operate as a low pass filter to keep relay and motor noise away from the IR receiver.
Hellow.
this circuit is infared receiver circuit for toy car motor.
but i don't know function of r11,r12,C5 in this circuit.
please let me know why use these.

C5 is like a battery that quickly drains. R12 makes sure the battery doesn't refill quickly. That way, the power to the sensor runs out (5mA output). Then it will shut off until C5 is recharged, then fire again. These little sensors become saturated and shutdown if given a constant pulse train of IR. This designer made the sensor immune to constant pulse trains. Shutdown/recharge/restart should be fairly fast. I have no idea what he was thinking on the 100k resistor other than some type of pull down resistor for the sensor while it is "powered down". The op will have to try with/without the resistor to see what is going on.R12 = 560Ω

No, none of that is correct.C5 is like a battery that quickly drains. R12 makes sure the battery doesn't refill quickly. That way, the power to the sensor runs out (5mA output).

some newer 38k sensors are available that are immune to the constant pulse issue.
Wow!C5 is like a battery that quickly drains. R12 makes sure the battery doesn't refill quickly. That way, the power to the sensor runs out (5mA output).
