ABSTRACT:
An infrared remote-control receiver employs at its front end a gyrator-configured transistor operating as a current-to-voltage converter, but derives its data information from a negative-going gyrator output pulse in preference to the more conventionally used positive-going pulse. This negative-going pulse may be wider than the positive-going pulse and reduces the bandwidth demand on subsequent processing circuitry. This enables low-bandwidth, low-current hardware to be used which makes the receiver ideal for use in battery-operated systems. Also, the negative-going pulse is easier to detect, as it directly follows a disturbance known to be in the opposite direction. The result is an increased receiver sensitivity.
