• Power Supply: 16.5V maximum supply voltage
• Thermal Range: -40°C to 125°C operating temperature
• Package Compatibility: 10-VFDFN Exposed Pad (10-VSON 3x3) surface-mount package
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 2 (1 Year)

All substitute parts listed below maintain identical values across these parameters, confirming direct functional and mechanical interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: BQ24010DRCR

The BQ24010DRCR is the preferred substitute due to active product status and highest inventory availability (175,350 units). This part maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the discontinued BQ24013DRCRG4, with identical charging specifications, thermal performance, and regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99).

Secondary Options: BQ24013DRCR, BQ24012DRCR, BQ24014DRCR

All remaining substitutes are active products with confirmed inventory and equivalent parametric specifications. Selection among these alternatives may be based on packaging availability (Cut Tape vs. standard) or supplier logistics, as all maintain identical functional performance and compliance certifications.

Compliance Assurance: All substitute parts carry ROHS3 Compliant status and REACH Unaffected classification, meeting regulatory requirements for the BQ24013DRCRG4 application context.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BQ24010DRCR, BQ24012DRCR, BQ24013DRCR, and BQ24014DRCR be used interchangeably with BQ24013DRCRG4?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications (1A maximum charge current, 4.2V battery pack voltage, 16.5V maximum supply voltage), thermal operating range (-40°C to 125°C), and mechanical package (10-VFDFN Exposed Pad, 10-VSON 3x3). No circuit redesign or PCB modification is required.

Q: What is the difference between BQ24013DRCRG4 and BQ24013DRCR?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical and thermal specifications. The primary difference is product status: BQ24013DRCRG4 is discontinued, while BQ24013DRCR remains active. The suffix variation reflects DiGi Electronics's internal part designation and does not indicate functional differences.

Q: Are there packaging differences among the substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts use the same 10-VFDFN Exposed Pad package (10-VSON 3x3). Packaging format variations (Cut Tape vs. standard) listed for certain parts refer to supplier delivery method only and do not affect component functionality or PCB compatibility.

Q: Do all substitutes meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry ROHS3 Compliant status, REACH Unaffected classification, and EAR99 ECCN designation, matching the regulatory profile of the BQ24013DRCRG4.

Q: Which substitute has the best availability?

A: BQ24010DRCR offers the highest inventory level at 175,350 units, providing optimal supply chain reliability for production requirements.
