1. Description
The IC ATA2525 is a complete IR receiver for data communication that was devel-
oped and optimized for use in carrier-frequency-modulated transmission applications.
The IC combines small size with high sensitivity as well as high suppression of noise
from daylight and lamps. An innovative and patented pad layout offers unique flexibil-
ity for assembly of IR receiver modules. The ATA2525 is available with standard
carrier frequencies (33, 36, 37, 38, 40 kHz) and 3 different noise suppression regula-
tion types (standard, lamp, noise) covering requirements of different high-volume
remote control solutions (please refer to selection guide available for
ATA2525/ATA2526). The ATA2525 operates in a supply voltage range of 4.5V to
5.5V.
The function of ATA2525 can be described using the block diagram (see
Figure 1-1
on page 2).
The input stage meets two main functions. First, it provides a suitable bias
voltage for the PIN diode. Secondly, the pulsed photo-current signals are transformed
into a voltage by a special circuit which is optimized for low-noise applications. After
amplification by a
Controlled Gain Amplifier
(CGA), the signals have to pass a tuned
integrated narrow bandpass filter with a center frequency f
0
which is equivalent to the
chosen carrier frequency of the input signal. The demodulator is used to convert the
input burst signal into a digital envelope output pulse and to evaluate the signal infor-
mation quality, i.e., unwanted pulses will be suppressed at the output pin. All this is
done by means of an integrated dynamic feedback circuit which varies the gain as a
function of the present environmental condition (ambient light, modulated lamps etc.).
Other special features are used to adapt to the current application to secure best
transmission quality.

2. Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating
only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of this
specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
