Vishay Intertechnology Introduces Remote Control Window Sizing Tool for IR Receivers / Transceivers and Optical Sensors
September 28 2016 - 11:00AM
A new online tool from the Optoelectronics group of Vishay
Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH) is speeding up a time-consuming
task for designers of home entertainment systems. Anything that
uses a remote control needs a window with precise dimensions to
ensure that it can see the infrared (IR) signal from the remote.
Now Vishay Optoelectronics has eliminated the tedious task of
sizing the window — and its inherent potential for errors — with
the introduction of a new remote control window sizing tool that
automatically calculates optimal window dimensions using only the
distance from the optoelectronic component to the outside of the
window.
“IR receivers, IR transceivers, and optical sensors all require
a window or opening in the cover glass to function in remote
control applications,” said Jim Toal, Vishay’s director of regional
marketing for optoelectronics in the Americas. “Until now,
calculating the size of these windows has meant digging out
formulas from application notes and using calculators that support
geometric functions such as the tangent of an angle. For designers,
our new time-saving tool allows them to easily complete their
designs with nothing more than a few mouse clicks.”
To use the remote control window sizing tool, designers simply
select their part from the list of IR receivers / transceivers and
optical sensors, enter the distance from the window, and click on
“calculate.” The optimal window length and width are immediately
displayed. In addition, the online calculator provides quick access
to datasheets, application notes, and other information on the
selected part.
