Look at the Sharp GP1UD26XK series. When I did an low power IR biased
project last year it was the best I could find.


Dissipation current (no input light) 200 ua max

I am using the Panasonic IR decoder in a project, and it works great.
However, it consumes a constant 2 mA.  I would like to have something
that consumes uA when there isn't anything to detect.

Alternatively, has anyone tried developing an equivalent circuit with
one of the low-end PICs and (??) an IR sensor?  It seems like you could
create an equivalent circuit with an interrupt-driven PIC that was
sleeping most of the time.

Thanks!

Alex
