This design makes it possible to shrink the IR receivers up to 66 % by volume compared to other SMD devices, while at the same time increasing the sensitivity and offering a wide receiving angle.

The new devices are offered in three automatic gain controls (AGC) versions. The TSOP752xx is compatible with all common IR remote control data formats. The TSOP753xx and TSOP754xx suppress almost all spurious pulses from energy-saving fluorescent lamps, including dimmed LCD backlighting, and are compatible with short-burst or long-burst codes, respectively.

To further simplify designs, the receivers offer two photo detectors and a preamplifier in one package, with two epoxy lenses designed as an IR filter. The filter features a frequency range optimized for reducing emissions from plasma displays. Compatible with top- or side- view use, the devices are insensitive to supply voltage and ripple noise and offer an improved immunity against ambient light.

The TSOP75xxx series was designed to fulfill the needs of current and future consumer and laptop designs, where small space and re-flow solder technology are required. The devices are optimized for remote control and data transmission applications in small handheld electronics, such as notebook computers, digicams, and portable music and video players, as well as set-top boxes, thin LCD TVs, game controllers, navigation systems, and USB-TV.

The receivers offer a supply voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V and operate over a carrier frequency of 30 kHz to 56 kHz. All devices are in accordance with RoHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC.
