Not sure the rectangle chip confirms it uses the ICC5 chip. I can understand the logic in that the 125ASX2 data sheet uses an image of a board with the longer rectangle chip where there was previously a square chip. However, there is no definitive evidence (so far) which proves that longer rectangle chip is anything to do with ICC5. The 125ASX2 data sheet clearly states it is using the new “conductor” topology but it could easily be using an image of an earlier version board. A number of the modules in the ICEpower web shop have data sheets using images of older version boards. That seems fine (ish) because version revisions may be so minor there’s no need to update the image. It would be misleading if they are still shipping ICCX boards to customers while stating said product uses the new topology and ICC5 chip. I’ve ordered a couple of 125ASX2 boards directly from ICEpower so we will find out soon enough. If they are using ICCX and none of the chips on the board say ICC5 I’ll be investigating what’s going on directly with ICEpower.
You can zoom in on the chips with a decent phone camera and read the ICC numbers. That’s what I did with the 700as2 boards from Parts Express a few weeks ago. They were a mixture of chips including ICC1, ICC3 etc. Boards that use such a mix are referred to as ICCX, in my understanding.
