I'm messing around with an IR receiver that I took out of an old VCR. It looks like it may be a Vishay. The Datasheet I'm looking at is this:
http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheets/90/301373_DS.pdf
It says supply current in 5mA. But if you look at the application circuit it doesn't show that you need any resistors at all. I'm going to plugging it into an Arduino. Do I need to limit the current to 5mA or do I plug it right into 5V+?
