A good PCB layout for the TSOP31338 involves keeping the sensor and the IR LED as close as possible, with a direct line of sight between them. The sensor should be placed on the top layer of the PCB, and the IR LED should be placed on the bottom layer. A ground plane should be used to shield the sensor from noise and interference.
To ensure accurate ambient light rejection, the TSOP31338 should be used in conjunction with a bandpass filter that blocks out visible and UV light. The sensor should also be placed in a way that minimizes exposure to direct sunlight or other strong light sources.
The maximum distance between the TSOP31338 and the IR LED depends on the specific application and the desired level of accuracy. However, as a general rule, the distance should be kept as short as possible, typically less than 1 cm, to ensure reliable communication.
To handle noise and interference when using the TSOP31338, it is recommended to use a low-pass filter to remove high-frequency noise, and to ensure that the sensor is properly shielded from electromagnetic interference (EMI). Additionally, the use of a differential signal can help to reduce the effects of noise and interference.
The recommended operating temperature range for the TSOP31338 is -25°C to 85°C. However, the sensor can operate outside of this range, but with reduced accuracy and reliability.
