Simulation Results

  • Green is 5V 56 kHz square wave
  • Red is BJT emitter voltage

Distance Equation

The maximum distance the IR needs to travel is 1.5 meters. The maximum current needed can be calculated using the equation below.

  • I_e=emitter intensity
  • Emitter intensity of IR323/HO-A at 20mA: 3.5mW/sr
  • E(e,min)=irradiance of the reciever
  • TSOP36256 minimum irradiance (56 kHz) (receiver on the headband) when Vs=3V
  • Pulse width tolerance: t pi- 5/fo< tpo< tpi+ 6/fo. Typical: 0.4W/m2
  • d_max=maxdistance = 1.5 meters
  • Using the above information, the maximum current needed is 5.145mA
  • Therefore, if there are 9 IR LEDs mounted on the cup, the total current used by the system is 46.3mA
