While putting together B.O.M for single cell Lithium Ion battery pack I noticed one part from the BQ27742EVM B.O.M is being phased out. The UPA2375T1P-E1-A appears to have a LTS (Last Time Shipment) of Dec 12th 2014. There is a NXP Semiconductors MOSFET N-CH 12V 3.2A 3DFN but I have 2 questions for some tech guru. 1) Think it will suit? 2) Do I need 2 of them in my B.O.M as spec says they're back-to-back?
Also, as battery pack in my case is small, the thermistor appeared huge by comparrison and the manufacturer of the thermistor in the EVM B.O.M has released a surface mount high accuracy part Semitec 103HT 10kOHM +- 2% 3435K +- 1%. Will a TI tech give an indication of suitability please?
