IR Receiver: Sumobot vs Boebot

Let's Make Robots

I am running out of IR Receivers(Parallax# 350-00014) for modified sumobot student projects.
I have many extra IR Receivers(Parallax# 350-00039) from Boebots.
The Parallax site recommends using the specific IR for each application.

In my “test circuit” the sumobot IR (00014) output remains low while object detected’ while the boebot IR (00039) pulses low once only.
What is the difference between the 2 IR receivers, and can I add circuitry/code to make one type work for the other application. Data sheets have been of no help.
thanks

What are the manufacturer SKUs of the IR receivers ?

Thank you for the response.
A. The IR Detector which remains on while IR detected is:
Parallax 350-00014 (TSOP 34138)
B. The IR Detector which “pulses on” one time only when IR first detected(then requires reset):
Parallax 350-00039 (GPIUx511QS)

My problem was with a test circuit using a continuous 38kHz signal from a signal generator for students to test their wiring/components. It works fine for the first IR Detector(A).
But using the 2nd IR detector (B), the detector pulses ON one time only when IR first detected, then no longer works. (Have to turn off the signal generator to reset detector)

I have resolved the issue by using an Arduino instead of the test circuit, since the code only pulses on the IR a short duration then OFF (re-setting the detector).
thank you.

Thank you for the SKUs, however, I can’t seem to find the datasheet for the GPIUx511QS . Also, what do you mean by :

Does this mean that when you apply a 38kHz signal to the GPIUx511QS, the IR Detector goes low for a period of time than goes high ?
