Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the OV02736-H46A is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Core Substitution Criteria:

• Active Pixel Array: 1920H x 1080V (HD 1080p resolution)
• Pixel Size: 2µm x 2µm (optical performance matching)
• Frames per Second: 90 (temporal performance)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C (thermal compatibility)
• RoHS Compliance: Required for regulatory alignment
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 3 (168 Hours) (handling and storage compatibility)

The OV02736-H46A-1C qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains identical specifications for pixel array dimensions, pixel size, frame rate, operating temperature range, and moisture sensitivity level. Both devices are manufactured by OmniVision Technologies Inc within the PureCel® series. The primary distinction is that the OV02736-H46A-1C includes an integrated processor and operates at a different supply voltage (1.2V versus 1.8V/2.8V), with an active product status enabling continued availability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

OV02736-H46A-1C Selection Basis:

The OV02736-H46A-1C is the qualified substitute for the obsolete OV02736-H46A based on the following engineering factors:

1. Optical Performance Equivalence: Both devices maintain identical active pixel array dimensions (1920H x 1080V) and pixel size (2µm x 2µm), ensuring equivalent image capture characteristics for HD 1080p applications.

2. Temporal Performance Match: Both sensors operate at 90 frames per second, maintaining identical frame rate specifications for video streaming and capture applications.

3. Thermal Compatibility: Operating temperature ranges are identical (-40°C ~ 85°C), ensuring equivalent thermal performance across industrial and commercial temperature environments.

4. Regulatory Compliance: Both parts are RoHS Compliant and share identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 3, 168 Hours), ensuring equivalent handling, storage, and environmental compliance requirements.

5. Product Status Advantage: The OV02736-H46A-1C maintains Active product status with confirmed inventory availability (696 Pcs), providing supply chain continuity compared to the Obsolete OV02736-H46A.

6. Integrated Processing Capability: The OV02736-H46A-1C includes an integrated processor, offering enhanced functionality beyond the base sensor-only configuration of the OV02736-H46A.

Design Consideration: The OV02736-H46A-1C operates at 1.2V supply voltage, differing from the OV02736-H46A dual voltage specification (1.8V, 2.8V). System power supply architecture must be evaluated for compatibility with the 1.2V requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the OV02736-H46A classified as Obsolete?

A: The OV02736-H46A has reached end-of-life status in OmniVision Technologies Inc's product portfolio. Obsolete classification indicates the manufacturer no longer produces this part, making substitute identification necessary for ongoing system support and new designs.

Q: What makes the OV02736-H46A-1C a valid substitute?

A: The OV02736-H46A-1C maintains all critical optical and temporal specifications: identical 1920H x 1080V pixel array, 2µm x 2µm pixel size, and 90 frames per second operation. Both devices operate across the same temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) and share identical moisture sensitivity levels, ensuring functional equivalence for HD video capture applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The OV02736-H46A uses a Module package, while the OV02736-H46A-1C uses a 46-BGA/CSPBGA package (46-CSP, 5.13x3.64mm). PCB layout and mounting requirements differ between these package types and must be evaluated during design integration.

Q: What is the supply voltage difference, and does it affect substitution?

A: The OV02736-H46A operates at 1.8V or 2.8V, while the OV02736-H46A-1C operates at 1.2V. This difference requires system power supply architecture evaluation. If the existing design uses 1.8V or 2.8V supplies, additional voltage regulation or power supply modification may be necessary to support the 1.2V requirement of the substitute part.

Q: Does the integrated processor in the OV02736-H46A-1C affect compatibility?

A: The integrated processor in the OV02736-H46A-1C provides additional image processing functionality not present in the base OV02736-H46A sensor. This enhancement does not prevent substitution but may require firmware or software updates to utilize the additional processing capabilities.

Q: Are both parts RoHS Compliant?

A: Yes. Both the OV02736-H46A and OV02736-H46A-1C are RoHS Compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions in electronic components.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL), and why is it important?

A: Both parts have MSL 3 (168 Hours), indicating identical moisture sensitivity and handling requirements. This specification defines the maximum time the component can be exposed to ambient conditions (typically 30°C, 85% relative humidity) before soldering. Matching MSL values ensure equivalent storage, handling, and assembly process compatibility.

Q: Is the OV02736-H46A-1C currently available?

A: Yes. The OV02736-H46A-1C maintains Active product status with 696 pieces in stock, providing immediate availability compared to the Obsolete OV02736-H46A.
