Thanks for the response. When is BQ2057 expected end of life? 

Hello

From your reply it seems to me that there is no expected end of life for BQ2057 at this time, and TI keeps production and support of this part in the next following years. Please confirm. 

Hello

This is a 20+ year old design with limited features, high external parts count, large solution size.  We have much better parts available and I would encourage you to take a look at them first.  The newer devices will have better availability.

BQ2057 is still active on the TI web and is available at this time.  

Thanks Bill. Yes, you mentioned that. But it seems like BQ25171-Q1 part you proposed as alternate is not in stock right now and will be available to order middle of next year. I found bq2057TS and bq24172 in stock that could be used but the latter needs a lot of parts more than the former. 

My requirements are: Battery Max charge voltage = 4.1V, Battery Max charge current 40mA, Charger operation is CC-CV mechanism, battery charging current and voltages are programmable by HW components not SW, I2c etc. 

If you think some other parts in stock could work, please let me know. 

Regards

Need more info on your applications, I will contact you.

Thanks Bill. Accepted the request.
