TPS65011: Suggestion for Alternative(s)

Part Number: TPS65011
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS65013, TPS65217

Can you please suggest me an alternative for the TPS65011 or TPS65013? I recently started working with TPS65011 IC, designed a breakout and planned to make a product with this IC in mind. But, today I found out that it is listed as NRND. I have written libraries for all the available features and its a bit disappointing that I won't be able to use it for a large quantity. Can you please suggest an alternative with similar features or at least tell me if something similar is gonna be released in the near future so that I can plan accordingly. Let me know. Thanks! 

  • Hi Vignesha,

    With integrated chargers, similar devices would be the TPS65070x, or the smaller TPS6572x. The TPS65217 is also similar but is limited in configurability.

    Devices without a charger include the TPS6502x and the TPS6505x

  • Hi Rick,

    Thanks for your suggestions. I am currently doing some inventory planning so that I can smoothly transition from TPS6501x (x-1,3) to some other chip without affecting our product planning and launch. I would like to know what is the typical timeline (or deciding factor) for a TI IC to change status from NRND to End of Life. My team has put a lot of effort designing around this chip and would like to know the total available stock and if possible specific timelines. Can you help me connect to the right person to obtain this information? I would also like to know (if possible) what was the reason it is currently NRND. I am assuming that this decision has been taken just few days back, considering I checked the TI website few weeks back and it said Active status. Any information regarding this would be extremely helpful. Thanks!
