To use the TSAL6200 in a circuit, follow these steps:
Connect the Anode (Pin 1) to a current-limiting resistor: This resistor is necessary to prevent excessive current from damaging the diode. The value of the resistor can be calculated using Ohm's Law: ( R = \frac{V_{supply} - V_{forward}}{I_{forward}} ).
Connect the Cathode (Pin 2) to ground: This completes the circuit and allows current to flow through the diode when the circuit is powered.
Power the circuit: Apply the appropriate voltage to the circuit, ensuring that the forward current does not exceed the maximum rating of 100 mA.
Here is an example of how to connect the TSAL6200 to an Arduino UNO for a simple IR remote control application:
Arduino UNO TSAL6200
----------- -------
5V -------------| Anode (Pin 1)
GND -------------| Cathode (Pin 2)
D3 -------------| Resistor (220Ω) -> Anode (Pin 1)
// Define the pin connected to the TSAL6200
const int irLedPin = 3;
void setup() {
// Set the IR LED pin as an output
pinMode(irLedPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
// Turn the IR LED on
digitalWrite(irLedPin, HIGH);
delay(1000); // Keep it on for 1 second
// Turn the IR LED off
digitalWrite(irLedPin, LOW);
delay(1000); // Keep it off for 1 second
}
