Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AMG8831 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Sensor Type: Digital, Infrared (IR) thermal array technology
• Output Interface: I2C communication protocol
• Supply Voltage: 3.3V operation
• Sensing Temperature Range: 0°C ~ 80°C remote sensing capability
• Accuracy Specification: ±2.5°C
• Package Format: 14-SMD Module form factor
• Mounting Technology: Surface Mount configuration

The AMG8833 meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the Grid-EYE series, with identical electrical specifications and mechanical packaging. The primary distinction is product status: AMG8833 is active production, whereas AMG8831 is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AMG8833 is the direct substitute for the obsolete AMG8831. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin and functional compatibility. The AMG8833 is the recommended selection for new designs and replacement applications due to its active production status and documented compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected). No design modifications or firmware adjustments are required when transitioning from AMG8831 to AMG8833.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AMG8833 be used as a direct replacement for AMG8831 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The AMG8833 is electrically and mechanically identical to the AMG8831. No circuit modifications, firmware changes, or recalibration are necessary. Both components operate on 3.3V supply, communicate via I2C interface, and provide identical thermal sensing accuracy of ±2.5°C across the 0°C to 80°C range.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute AMG8831 with AMG8833?

A: The AMG8831 is obsolete and no longer in production. The AMG8833 is the active production equivalent within the Grid-EYE series, ensuring long-term component availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between AMG8831 and AMG8833?

A: Both components use identical 14-SMD Module packaging with surface mount configuration. The AMG8833 is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging formats, providing flexibility for different procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Do compliance certifications differ between these parts?

A: The AMG8833 includes documented ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The AMG8831 specifications do not include these compliance certifications. Both components share identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 3 (168 Hours).

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on matching sensor type (Digital, Infrared), output interface (I2C), supply voltage (3.3V), sensing temperature range (0°C ~ 80°C), accuracy (±2.5°C), mounting type (Surface Mount), and package format (14-SMD Module).
