Re: Sourcing IP2315 IC
Thank you. The shipping may take a while, and there are some concerns about whether it's a genuine IC. I was hoping one of the forum members might suggest an inexpensive donor contaning this IC that I could find locally. Anything that charges batteries via USB-C, like a flash-light, etc might have it.Comment

Re: Sourcing IP2315 IC
As a general comment, China will clone a popular component that will allow them to scam a larger customer base. Openly, do not see this component as a 'runner' so doubt that the part will be a fake. Rather, it is a less popular Asian brand of a controller IC. Lots of those out there. The tooling and startup costs to build a replica for such a small market does not make sense for them to do. Aliexpress has a few resellers of the part and perhaps consider to buy a few from each. We have had a very good success rate in seeking out replacement parts for service and/or building of new designs.
Select a vendor with a high customer rating to move forward. Just my 2 bit feedback.Comment
