## 2. Key Features

### 2.1 High Sensitivity
The TSOP34438 series offers extremely high sensitivity to infrared signals. This allows it to detect weak infrared signals from a relatively long distance, ensuring reliable communication between the remote control and the receiving device. Whether the remote is used from across a large room or in a noisy environment, the receiver can accurately pick up the signals, providing seamless user experience.

### 2.2 Wide Operating Range
These receivers have a wide operating voltage range, typically from 2.7V to 5.5V. This flexibility makes them suitable for use in various electronic devices with different power supply configurations. Additionally, they can operate over a wide temperature range, usually from - 25°C to + 85°C, which enables them to be used in different environmental conditions, such as in a cold storage room or a hot industrial setting.

### 2.3 Immunity to Ambient Light
One of the outstanding features of the TSOP34438 series is its excellent immunity to ambient light. It is equipped with advanced filtering technology that can effectively suppress the interference caused by sunlight, fluorescent light, and other sources of ambient light. This ensures that the receiver can work properly even in brightly lit environments without false triggering, providing stable and reliable performance.

### 2.4 Low Power Consumption
In today's energy - conscious world, the low power consumption of the TSOP34438 series is a significant advantage. These receivers are designed to consume minimal power during operation, which is especially important for battery - powered devices. By reducing power consumption, the battery life of the device can be extended, reducing the frequency of battery replacement and saving costs.

### 2.5 High Data Rate Capability
The TSOP34438 series is capable of handling high - data - rate infrared signals. This allows for the transmission of more complex commands and data, enabling advanced functionality in remote - controlled devices. For example, it can support high - definition multimedia control, multi - function remote control operations, and other applications that require fast and accurate data transfer.

## 3. Package and Pin Configuration
The TSOP34438 series is available in a compact and easy - to - mount package. The small form factor makes it suitable for use in space - constrained devices, such as small consumer electronics, handheld devices, and automotive control units. The pin configuration is designed for easy integration into existing circuit boards, with clearly defined pins for power supply, ground, and signal output. This simplifies the design process and reduces the time and cost of development.

## 4. Applications

### 4.1 Consumer Electronics
