Recently, Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. announced that the Optoelectronics Division has released a new online tool to accelerate the time-consuming computing work of home entertainment system design engineers. All products that use the remote control feature require a window of precise size to ensure that the infrared signal emitted by the remote control is received. Now, Vishay Optoelectronics has released a new remote window size calculation tool that automatically calculates the optimal window size by inputting the distance of the optoelectronic components to the outside window, solving the tedious calculation window size.

"Infrared receivers, infrared transceivers, and light sensors all require a window or an opening in the glass cover that works in the remote control," said Jim Toal, regional marketing director for optoelectronics in Vishay . Yes, calculating the size of these windows means finding the calculation formula from the application notes and using a calculator with geometric functions such as tangent angle. For designers, our new calculation tool can save time, they With a few mouse clicks, you can easily complete the design."

When using the remote control window size calculation tool, the designer simply selects the model used from the infrared receiver/transceiver and light sensor list, enters the distance from the component to the window, and then clicks "Calculate", the optimal window length and The width will be displayed immediately. In addition, this online calculator provides quick access to data sheets, application notes and other information on selected components.
