Trouble finding Li Ion

I went on to see if I could find a battery charger IC and noticed that it is much easier to find one on digikey than on Parts.io because I can filter by functionality (i.e. linear LiIon battery charger). I'm not sure how easy it would be to fit something like that in your form factor, but I think I'd still go to digikey for that part search.

That's good feedback. To be honest the toughest data (analog function chips) is still our messiest. What was the part number you ended up looking for? I just moved all of the chargers over to the "regulator circuit" class this morning, i thought that made a bunch more sense. We'll see how that looks when the database refreshes.

Another thought just came to me -- Digikey now controls the common names for parts (at least for me, I know know what PMIC is). You may want to consider using their terminology since they are the ones you have to beat.
