Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and tape/reel specifications against the manufacturer's latest documentation before ordering. Confirm that the 16-VQFN exposed pad footprint matches your PCB design requirements. Ensure compatibility with the target battery chemistry and cell count configuration. Cross-reference the part number with official Analog Devices distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing protection circuits for 2S to 4S lithium battery architectures. It is suitable for applications requiring integrated overvoltage detection without external complex logic. Consider the thermal performance of the exposed pad in high-current environments. Verify that the operating voltage range aligns with the maximum series voltage of the intended battery stack.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Maxim Integrated battery protection portfolio, now under Analog Devices.
