This document compares the characteristics and performance of two infrared transmitter diodes, the TSTA7100 (875nm) and the TSTS7100 (950nm). It finds that both diodes become conductive around 1V, with the 875nm diode having a slightly higher operating voltage of 1.25V. Frequency response tests show that both diodes maintain a constant output up to 500kHz, above which the output sharply rises, indicating an upper cut-off frequency higher than 1MHz.
