Photo Detectors - Remote Receiver

Products in the remote receiver photodetector family integrate a light sensitive element such as a photodiode with filtering and amplification functions, and are used as receivers for information transmitted via modulated infrared light. Most commonly found in devices such as televisions and other consumer products that are manipulated through the use of handheld remote controls, available devices vary in the extent of the filtering and signal processing they provide, resulting in various degrees of sensitivity and immunity to interfering ambient light.
