Active production, no LTB watch needed
Listed as active with ROHS3 compliance. No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window is in effect, so this part is safe to qualify into a new design without a near-term obsolescence risk. The Tape & Reel variant (the #TRPBF suffix) is the standard production reel; Cut Tape quantities are also available for prototyping or small-run builds.
Programmable timer — set it right for your pack
Charge termination relies on an external timer resistor, not on end-of-charge current detection. The designer must calculate the timer period based on the battery capacity and charge current — a mismatch can either terminate prematurely or overcharge. The datasheet gives the formula; verify it against your pack's data before committing the board.
