BQ25618E: Change Slave Address

Part Number: BQ25618E

Hi Chargers Team, 

My customer is using BQ25618E and they have other devices on the line that have the same I2C Address. Is there a way to change the address? 

If not, what are some possible solutions? 

Thanks, 

Mitchell Spears

  • Hi Mitchell,

    Unfortunately, no. The I2C address can only be changed during production.  I suggest a USB switch like TS3USB221ARSER or newer.  The host can switch the desired IC in and out as it needs to communicate to it.

    Regards,

    Jeff
