Can EN6337QA be used in place of EN6337QI

[Peva]

I know that these parts are being discontinued, but we currently use EN337QI and have the opportunity to purchase EN337QA to use in place of EN6337QI - if it will work.

The package and pinouts are the same, except pins 22 thru 25 are all NC (no connection) on the I version, and have the following functional labels on the A version:

22 => PG

23 => BTMP

24 => VDDB

25 => BGND

Data sheets are attached - reference in particular the application circuit diagrams (figure 1), "Pin Functions" (pinouts) (figure 3) and "Pin Descriptions" on pages 1 thru 4 of both data sheets.

From data sheet "Pin Descriptions", it appears that possibly the additional pins are for improving accuracy and/or stability for the automotive environment, and leaving them uncommitted would provide the same function as, and performance & accuracy on par with, the I version.

I am hoping that this post will catch the attention of an application engineer or user of both parts who knows if the A version can be used in place of the I version with pins 22 thru 25 uncommitted, *or*, alternately, what would be the minimum hand work (cuts, jumpers, added parts, etc.) that would be required to make the A version functional in the I version board footprint.

Thank you for any help on this.

EDIT:

ps - The A part version application circuit diagram shows a 560 ohm resistor between PG and PVIN.  Is that possibly a component that is internal to the I variation and would need to be added externally to the A version for it work, or, again, is it strictly a performance/accuracy improvement for the A version but that is not required for I version performance/accuracy?

I mis-typed the part numbers in my first sentence of the previous post.  The part numbers are EN6337QI and EN6337QA.  (I didn't discover that until the time in which I could edit the post had passed.)
