Greetings,
I'm on the lookout for a 2-cell lithium charger IC, i was using the mcp73864, but i did not realize until it was too late that it had been EOLed, so now i'm looking for something to replace it, i have spend time on the parametric searches in digikey and mouser, it does not really work for me.
I'm looking for something that can charge with 0.5A to 1A, something like the tp4056 but for 2 cells, and it has to be hand solderable, with leads, i need the leads, to be able to probe reliable. And something that does not cost an arm and a leg
A switching regulator would also be ok.

)
