Tool/software:
Dear TI experts,
My customer considers applying INA216 instead of chinese part due to quality isuue.
This product is already in mass production so they do not want to change the layout.
the one problem is, package are the same between INA216 and currently chinese part, but some pin discriptions are different.
(i.e. VCC is applied to pin 6 (NC) in chinese part, also different signal is applied to pin 8 in chinese part.)
So, here is my question ;
Is there any side effect if any signal (including VCC and any others) is applied to NC pins? (pin 1, 6, 7 and 8)
Finally I want to know that my customer should change the layout for applying INA216.
Please check this issue. Thanks.
Best regards,
Chase
