BQ24278: RGE0024H footprint?

Part Number: BQ24278
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TCA9548A,

Good evening.....

I keep my library parts in a local database and like to re-use footprints where possible.  I have a TCA9548A part that uses a RGE0024C.  I notice that this is the same footprint as the BQ24278 part that I want to use except for the suffix H instead of C.  Is the H just a newer re-vision over time from TI or is it an all together different part number?  The only difference I can see is the size of the center pad (ground).

Thanks

  • Hi Steve,

    Since these parts released within a month of each in 2012, H version is not later revision but is a different package with larger heatsink pad.  I predict that the C footprint can accommodate the H device.  

    regards,
