Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TSOP4836DI1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• B.P.F. Center Frequency: Must match at 36.0kHz to maintain signal detection compatibility with existing infrared remote control protocols
• Mounting Type: Must remain Through Hole to ensure mechanical compatibility with existing PCB layouts
• Orientation: Must maintain Side View orientation for consistent component placement
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support the -25°C to 85°C operating window
• RoHS Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 Compliant status for regulatory alignment

The TSOP2136 qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute, sharing the identical center frequency, mounting type, orientation, and temperature range while maintaining equivalent RoHS compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TSOP2136 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete TSOP4836DI1. Both components are manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division and maintain identical center frequency specifications at 36.0kHz, ensuring functional compatibility in remote receiver applications.

The TSOP2136 carries Active product status, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the Obsolete TSOP4836DI1. Both parts maintain ROHS3 Compliance and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings, satisfying equivalent regulatory and environmental requirements.

The TSOP2136 operates within a narrower supply voltage range (4.5V ~ 5.5V) compared to the TSOP4836DI1 (2.5V ~ 5.5V), and exhibits higher current consumption at 1.1mA versus 700µA. Design verification is required to confirm compatibility with existing power supply specifications and current budgets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TSOP2136 directly replace the TSOP4836DI1 in existing designs?

A: The TSOP2136 shares identical center frequency (36.0kHz), mounting type (Through Hole), orientation (Side View), and operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C) with the TSOP4836DI1. However, the TSOP2136 requires a minimum supply voltage of 4.5V compared to the TSOP4836DI1's 2.5V minimum, and draws 1.1mA versus 700µA. Verify that your power supply and current budget accommodate these specifications before implementation.

Q: Why is the TSOP4836DI1 listed as Obsolete?

A: The TSOP4836DI1 has reached end-of-life status. The TSOP2136 is the active equivalent offering the same functional performance with improved availability and long-term supply assurance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both the TSOP4836DI1 and TSOP2136 utilize Through Hole mounting with Side View orientation. The TSOP2136 is supplied in Tube packaging. Verify packaging compatibility with your assembly process requirements.

Q: What is the sensing distance specification for these sensors?

A: The TSOP2136 specifies a sensing distance of 35m. The TSOP4836DI1 does not provide a sensing distance specification in the available documentation.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance standards?

A: Both the TSOP4836DI1 and TSOP2136 are ROHS3 Compliant and carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings, meeting equivalent regulatory and environmental standards.
