I am writing to ask you the following problem which is I have some doubts about bq2019. This IC is used in a battery charger model: Pro3600 Make: Linvatec.
This IC is used as a battery monitor in the above mentioned charger for a single cell. I have made sure that this IC is bad by swapping it from another good charger.
Therefore, I ordered this IC (5 pieces) through a local spares leader and I received through R.S. spares the following replacement (bq2019PWG4, instead of bq2019 which was used in the charger. When I replaced this IC, it does not work.
Please, let me know what the difference between bq2019 and bq2019PWG4 is. The circuit diagram mentioned in page 7 of bq2019 (application information) except the changes with I have shown in the file attached. Please let me know whether any circuit change has to be done for using bq2019xxx.
Also I wish to know whether this IC has to be reprogrammed, if yes, how it can be done? Inside the charger; or it is there any circuit for programming it.
