Compatibility with Dallas DS14287 #3

Closed Deksor closed 2 years ago

Deksor commented 2 years ago

Hello ! Do you think it could work with the Dallas DS14287 ? I suspect the Benchmarq BQ4287 is a clone of that Dallas but I'm not 100% sure it's safe to try. Can you tell me ? If it's safe I'll try it and report back :)

Hi Deksor! By the datasheets the DS14285 and BQ4285 are identical chips, just made by different companies. So I'm confident that they are interchangeable. You can use nwX287 either with Dallas or Benchmarq ICs, the last ones are just easier to find today.

Nice !! I tested it and indeed, it works :) Could you add it to your compatibility list ?
