Possible alternatives to ADP5360

[WaStefan]

Hello everyone,

I am currently in the process of designing a prototype using the nRF9160 and I use the Nordic-Thingy91 as a reference for some parts.
The Thingy91 uses the ADP5360 for charging and power management.

Unfortunatly the ADP5360 only comes in a tiny BGA package, which is too expensive and inconvinient for a simple prototype for evaluation.

Now I'm looking for an alternative with similar functionality.

I have found the ADP5350 offers similar functionality and comes in a bigger package.

Are there any other good alternatives with these kind of functionality for low-power?

Thank you!

Hey Stefan,

We are actually going to launch our own PMIC very soon and the Thingy91 kit will be updated to use this PMIC. I believe we will start to ship eval kits of this PMIC that you can use for the development of your prototypes. 

I suggest you contact our Regional Sales Manager for more info about this PMIC and ask if you can get an eval kit, the RSM's might have some prototype eval kits for keen customers. Note that this information is confidential for the time being. 

BR,
Håkon Holdhus.
