For new product development in 2024-2025, do not use the bq40370 . TI lists it as "NRND." Use the BQ40Z50-R2 or BQ40Z80. However, if you are maintaining legacy medical or industrial equipment, you must stick with the bq40370 for drop-in compatibility.
While the BQ40370 is a versatile IC, its public footprint is heavily tied to one major application: . It has been identified in battery packs for a wide range of Dell laptop series, including: bq40370
FETs are N-channel MOSFETs, driven with ~10V gate drive (from internal charge pump). For new product development in 2024-2025, do not
