BQ79600-Q1: Is BQ79600 compatible with BQ76952?

Part Number: BQ79600-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ76952, BQ79616

Hi team,

Is BQ79600 compatible with BQ76952? My customer wants to leverage BQ79600 and transformers to connect MCU and BQ76952 with SPI communication. Any risk for this application?

Sincerely,

Jayden Li

  • Hello Jayden,

    The BQ79600 has a unique 2-wire protocol (called VIF or daisy chain) that is designed to work with BQ7961x family of products. The BQ76952 device doesn’t have this communication path, so the BQ79600 cannot be used with it. But please have the customer look at BQ79616 as it may meet their system needs instead of the BQ76952.
