BQ769142: Application: Non-military drones

Stefano Marrazza

Part Number: BQ769142

Tool/software:

Dear Technical support,

in the datasheet of BQ769142, chapter 2 Applications is listed "Non-military drones": what does it means?

In the document "TI’s commitment to defense and aerospace customers" (sszt034.pdf, chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/www.ti.com/.../sszt034.pdf in the Notice section I found:

"Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use."

So, the sentence "Non-military drones" in the Application list means that such a specific components is not specifically tested with respect to the drones applications?

Thank you for your support, with best regards

Stefano

    Hi Stefano,

    Correct, our industrial devices are not tested for military/aerospace applications. Typically, to qualify for military/aerospace grading, the device needs to be radiation resistant to a certain degree (i.e. survive in space or other similarly harsh environments). Our industrial devices don't usually undergo this kind of testing since there are whole portfolios and reference designs specifically for these applications.

    The non-military drones application refers to something like a small hobbyist drone, which would not typically fly very high or in harsh environments.

    Regards,
