------Question for HM0360-MWA-00FP963 Please Put your question below------

if I were to buy this with longer extension is it ok?

Hello @jilikong77,

This is a challenging question.

The HM0360-MWA-00FP963 is a compact camera.

From the datasheet, I see a 6 to 24 MHz Master Clock (MCLK) input. This fact alone suggests that extensions are undesirable from a signal integrity perspective. The camera may experience intermittent faults.

A long extension may act as an antenna risking interference. Also, it may radiate interference to other devices (not good for FCC compliance).

Recommendation: If this is a class project. Try and see what happens. If nothing else, you will have an interesting slide in your presentation. If this is a professional project, no.

Happy soldering.

Where can I find the extension? Do you have the stock for that or any supplier can supply it?

Hi @jilikong77,

None that I am aware of.

Note that Himax offers a similar (lower resolution) camera with a short cable.

We can assume that these were meant for direct connection to the host PCB.

Sincerely,

Aaron

Thanks for the reply.
