Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BQ24014DRCRG4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Battery chemistry: Lithium Ion/Polymer
• Single-cell configuration
• Maximum charging current: 1A
• Battery pack voltage: 4.2V
• Maximum supply voltage: 16.5V
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 125°C (TJ)
• Package type: 10-VFDFN Exposed Pad / 10-VSON (3x3)
• Surface mount configuration
• Programmable current and timer features
• Short circuit fault protection

All identified substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical packaging, ensuring direct functional replacement without circuit redesign. The primary distinction among substitutes is product status and inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the BQ24014DRCRG4. Selection among active alternatives should prioritize product status and supply chain availability:

BQ24014DRCR is the manufacturer-recommended direct substitute, maintaining identical base product specifications with active status and standard packaging (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®). This part provides the most direct replacement path.

BQ24010DRCR offers the highest inventory availability at 175,350 units, providing supply security for high-volume production requirements while maintaining all electrical and mechanical parameters.

BQ24012DRCR and BQ24013DRCR are parametric equivalents with active status and adequate inventory levels, suitable for applications where supply from the primary alternatives is constrained.

All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements equivalent to the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BQ24014DRCR directly replace BQ24014DRCRG4 without circuit modification?

A: Yes. BQ24014DRCR is the manufacturer-recommended substitute with identical electrical specifications, battery chemistry support, charging current rating, supply voltage range, operating temperature range, and 10-VSON (3x3) package configuration. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: What distinguishes BQ24010DRCR, BQ24012DRCR, and BQ24013DRCR from BQ24014DRCR?

A: All four parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The differences are base product numbers and inventory levels. BQ24010DRCR offers significantly higher stock availability. Selection depends on supply chain requirements and lead time constraints.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitutes—BQ24014DRCR, BQ24010DRCR, BQ24012DRCR, and BQ24013DRCR—carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements equivalent to the original BQ24014DRCRG4.

Q: Does packaging differ between the main part and substitutes?

A: The main part BQ24014DRCRG4 has unspecified packaging. All active substitutes are available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging. All maintain the identical 10-VSON (3x3) device package and 10-VFDFN Exposed Pad case configuration for surface mount assembly.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: All parts, including the original and all substitutes, carry MSL 2 (1 Year) rating, indicating standard moisture sensitivity with one-year floor life under controlled storage conditions.
