Original question:

BQ25155: Can we use BQ25150 in place of BQ25155 with same schematic

BQ25155: Drop-in replace BQ25155 with BQ25150

Part Number: BQ25155
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ25150,

In BQ25155, pin C3 is an NC, but in the BQ25150, C3 is IMAX and should not be left floating. According to the linked related question, the drop-in replacement could be ok. Can someone please confirm whether this is correct?

Regards,

    Hi Dushyantha,

    If you are using a BQ25155, going to the BQ25150 would cause issues as the IMAX pin needs to have a resistor connected to it. 

    If you are using a BQ25150 and wanting to drop in a BQ25155, you can leave the RIMAX DNP or leave it as is- there is no concern.

    Thanks, Gautham!

    My situation is the former, currently having a BQ25155, but want to replace it due to chip shortage (I could still see some BQ25150s in the market). I see that I'll need to change the PCB if I am to replace it with a BQ25150...

    Sorry to ask a related question on the resolved thread. I'm just exploring possible future modifications to support multiple chips.

    Currently, my C4 (ADCIN) in BQ25155 is connected to GND directly. What if I route C3 (IMAX for BQ25150) through C4 and then to the RIMAX, which will be around 3k in my case? ADCIN will start to have a small voltage at the start, but I'm not using ADCIN anyway. Is that feasible?

    Hi Dushyantha,

    I see no concern with having to connect the IMAX pin with the ADCIN pin as the ADCIN pin is a high impedance pin.
