BQ21040DBVR is a TI single-cell Li-Ion/Li-Pol linear charger in SOT-23-6. Alternatives need careful pinout and protection review.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskhigh

Input ratings are much lower.

Package riskmedium

SOT-23-6 matches, pinout missing.

Firmware risklow

No digital interface shown.

Sourcing riskmedium

Several catalog alternates exist.

Can it be replaced directly?

No pin-compatible replacement is verified from the provided data.

Best replacement path

ME4055AM6G is the closest catalog candidate, but needs FAE review.
