Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AR0238CSSC12SPRA0-DR1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Sensor Type: CMOS technology
• Resolution: 1920H x 1080V active pixel array
• Pixel Geometry: 3µm x 3µm pixel size
• Frame Rate: 60 fps operation
• Supply Voltage: 1.8V and 2.8V dual voltage support
• Package: 48-PLCC (11.43x11.43) form factor
• Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH status alignment

The AR0237CSSC12SPRA0-DR meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete AR0238CSSC12SPRA0-DR1.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AR0237CSSC12SPRA0-DR is the direct substitute for the obsolete AR0238CSSC12SPRA0-DR1. Both devices share identical electrical specifications, pixel architecture, and package geometry. The AR0237 variant maintains active product status with full manufacturer support and availability. Both components satisfy ROHS3 and REACH compliance requirements, ensuring regulatory alignment for industrial and commercial imaging applications. The AR0237 provides an operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C, supporting extended environmental conditions. Selection of the AR0237CSSC12SPRA0-DR eliminates obsolescence risk while preserving complete functional compatibility with existing AR0238-based designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AR0237CSSC12SPRA0-DR be used as a direct replacement for the AR0238CSSC12SPRA0-DR1?

A: Yes. Both sensors share identical resolution (1920H x 1080V), pixel size (3µm x 3µm), frame rate (60 fps), supply voltage requirements (1.8V, 2.8V), and 48-PLCC package geometry. The AR0237 is the active equivalent of the obsolete AR0238.

Q: What are the key compatibility factors for substitution?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: sensor type (CMOS), active pixel array dimensions, pixel pitch, frame rate, supply voltage levels, and package form factor. All these parameters are identical between the AR0238 and AR0237 variants.

Q: Does the AR0237 have different operating temperature specifications?

A: The AR0237CSSC12SPRA0-DR specifies an operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C. The AR0238 operating temperature was not provided in the available documentation. Both devices maintain identical thermal handling characteristics through MSL rating 4 (72 Hours).

Q: Are there packaging differences between these sensors?

A: Both devices use the 48-PLCC (11.43x11.43) package. The AR0237 is supplied in Tray packaging, while the AR0238 packaging format was not specified. The physical footprint and pin configuration are identical.

Q: Do both sensors meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the AR0238CSSC12SPRA0-DR1 and AR0237CSSC12SPRA0-DR are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.
