MALVERN, PA — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) has unveiled an upgraded version of its VSOP383xx series preamplifier circuits, now featuring the cutting-edge Cyllene 2 IC technology. Designed for infrared (IR) remote control applications in consumer electronics, the upgraded devices deliver significant improvements, including enhanced sensitivity, noise resistance, and power efficiency, enabling better performance in modern designs.
Key Enhancements
The next-generation preamplifier circuits, now housed in a compact 2 mm by 2 mm by 0.76 mm QFN package, offer a broader supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V, 37% higher dark-ambient sensitivity, and greater resilience against disruptions from strong DC light and Wi-Fi signals. These enhancements translate into extended battery life and improved reliability in end products such as televisions, soundbars, set-top boxes, video game systems, and audio equipment.
The VSOP383xx series also boasts high immunity to ripple noise on supply voltages and reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI) susceptibility at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, enabling them to function seamlessly near Wi-Fi antennas. Their robustness under bright sunlight additionally makes them suitable for outdoor use, expanding their range of applications.
Cost-Effective and Eco-Friendly
The new preamplifier circuits are designed as drop-in replacements for existing devices in the series, eliminating the need for costly PCB redesigns while ensuring long-term product availability and reduced lead times. The components are RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green, emphasizing the company’s commitment to sustainability and environmental standards.
Market Outlook
With these advancements, Vishay Intertechnology continues to drive innovation in IR remote control technology, addressing consumer demands for smarter and more reliable electronics. The enhanced VSOP383xx series, available in 36 kHz (VSOP38336) and 38 kHz (VSOP38338) carrier frequencies, reflects the company’s dedication to delivering state-of-the-art solutions for the evolving electronics industry.
By investing in proprietary IC technology and offering adaptable, high-performance solutions, Vishay is well-poised to meet future market needs while supporting its customers with cost-efficient and flexible designs.
