Hi Jinx
it will have a similar function but different application, can you direct me
to high Q BP filter IC or circuit ?
thanks

That TSL26xR has peak response at 940nm, which is the output of
many or most IR LEDs. I don't think ambient light would have very
much natural 940nm content, so that leaves you with filtering out any
unwanted artificial sources. Can you arrange for your transmitter to
have a centre frequency that is not in common with domestic 38kHz
transmitters ? If so, then you can use a high Q BP filter and use any
coding system

What is the significance of the link ?

Do you want to build something similar ?
