Part Number: BQ25616
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ25606
Hello,
Currently our CM wants to replace the BQ25606RGER with the BQ25616 equivalent.
There would be no changes to the PCB – just a straight replacement.
It looks like the differences are minor- the BQ25616 can drive and external MOSFET (we wouldn’t use this), and there’s a longer charger safety timeout. Are there any areas of concern with this swap? Is the BQ25616 generally considered 100% pin-pin compatible with the BQ25606, and are customers regularly making this upgrade?
Thanks,
Adam
