Hi there, what is the best recommended replacement for obsolete TSOP1230 IR receiver module for remote control operation? Thanks

 

Have you looked at the TSOP2230?

 

Have you looked at the TSOP2230?

Not yet Sir, I am go8ng tonlook at it. Thanks.
at the moment, I am checking TSOP38230

What part of the IR remote receiver has failed?? Unless it is the IR sensing diode, the rest of the receivers that I have looked into is just an amplifier with good high frequency response, up to possibly 50 KHz.

It is being used to register scores in the display whenever the blaster/gun hits the target. At the moment it is failing to register any score(s) whenever the target was hit

 

OK, not applied as a TV remote control in the application. In this case, probably the remote sensor from any scrapped TV could work. The question would be the supply voltage.

 

There are several vendors for this part No, the ..30 denotes 30khz carrier Freq operation.

Look at IR receivers and transmitters. The carrier frequency is mostly in the 30 kHz to 56 kHz range. 38khz is common. You should transmit on the same frequency as the receiver was designed for. Some of the data sheets call out what transmitter is best. Look at what "color" of light they are best at and match that to the transmitter.
DigiKey.com IR receivers Here is a link that will show many different types.

Here is part of a data sheet. This one works at 38khz. If you are off by 10% receiver is 1/2 as sensitive. At 30% off it about 1/5 as sensitive.

From the same data sheet, is shows 950 nm light is best.

Thank you for the info

Thank you so much for the info

 

Ok, so the recweiver is for a shooting gallery sort of game. So you will need to verify the frequency, probably. BUT if you can grab a receiver from a scrapped TV, give it a try anyway.
