BQ27510-G3 Life cycle?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ27510, BQ27510-G3

Is the BQ27510drzr-g3 near the Not Recommended for New Design stage? I see 231 units available from Mouser, no other North American distributor is stocking it, and the similar G2 part is already NRND. Too bad because I designed it in to a new product a few months ago when it was readily in stock, no indication of end-of-life in the product information pages on the web site.


Any ideas on a replacement part? I refuse to use a BGA part on a safety critical device that receives shock and vibration stresses in normal use. Most of the newer Gas Gauge chips are in the BGA package, which makes them very tiny indeed but not suitable for my application.

  • Hello, We have no plans to NRND the bq27510 family. Older versions of firmware like G2 are NRND when new firmware versions are available. The latest is the bq27510-G3. You are correct many customers like it for the package, you can feel secure to design it in without worrying about NRND or end of life.
