REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER
(Supersedes version in April 1994 Consumer IC Handbook, HB3120 - 2.0)
GPS has developed and produced a range of monolithic
integrated circuits which give a wide variety of remote control
facilities. As well as ultrasonic or infra-red transmission,
cable, radio or telephone links may also be used. Pulse
Position Modulation (PPM) is used with or without carrier and
automatic error detection is incorporated. Initially designed
with TV remote control in mind, the device is also suitable for
use in radios, tuners, tape and record decks, lamps and
lighting, toys and models, industrial control and monitoring.
The SL490B is an easily extendable, 32-command PPM
transmitter drawing negligible standby current.

OPERATING NOTES
Fig. 5 shows the circuit for a simple infra-red transmitter where
the PPM output pulses from pin 2 of the SL490B are differentated
by C3 and R3 and amplified by TR1 to produce current pulses
about 15µs wide.These pulses are further amplified by TR2 and
applied to the infra-red diodes D1 and D2.
The current in the diodes and the infra-red output is controlled
by the quantity, type, and connection method of the diodes and
also by the gain, at high currents, of the transistors.
The most common solution where cost is important is to use
two single-chip diodes, such as the CQY99 connected in series.
Improved output can be obtained by using four CQY99
diodes in a series/parallel arrangement, but it is usually simpler
to use two multi-chip diodes such as the CQX47 connected in
parallel or a single CQX19, which gives similar results.
A significant increase in range can be obtained by using
diodes such as the CQY99 in conjunction with a plated plastic
parabolic reflector.
When building the transmitter, care should be taken with the
choice of the capacitor C4 and with the circuit layout, particularly
when multi-chip diodes are being used, as the current pulses can
be as high as 6 to 8A.
Transistor choice is also important and any substitutes should
have high current gain characteristics and switching speeds
compatible with the application.
An increase in output can be obtained by connecting TR2 in
common emitter configuration, but care should be taken not to
exceed the rating of the diodes.
Choice of PPM Frequency
When the transmitter is being used with an infra-red link, with
high current pulses fed to the diodes as in Fig. 5, power
consumption will increase with frequency. It is thus advisable
that, with a battery power supply, the slowest PPM rate consistent
with adequate response time should be chosen.
