Product details
Overview
BQ2000SN-B5G4 from Texas Instruments is a programmable multi-chemistry fast-charge management IC for NiCd, NiMH, and Li-Ion battery packs. It performs safe fast-charge control via peak voltage detection (3.8 mV PVD), minimum current termination (14% IMAX for Li-Ion), and dual temperature thresholds (VLTF = 0.5 × VCC, VHTF = 0.25 × VCC). It operates with 4–6 V supply, supports 8-pin SOIC packaging, and delivers charge control in portable power tools and medical handheld devices.
For engineers reviewing the BQ2000SN-B5G4 datasheet, BQ2000SN-B5G4 pinout, BQ2000SN-B5G4 application, or BQ2000SN-B5G4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its programmable RC-based timing (MTO up to ~250 min), MOD pin push-pull output for external FET control, SNS input with ±50 mV hysteresis for current sensing, and integrated sleep mode (5 µA ICCS) for low-power standby operation.
Technical Context
The BQ2000SN-B5G4 implements a dual-loop hysteretic switching controller: inner loop regulates charge current via SNS feedback with ±50 mV thresholds and external RSNS, outer loop clamps BAT voltage at 2.00 V per cell (VMCV ±0.75%). Its state machine autonomously selects NiCd/NiMH vs. Li-Ion chemistry based on BAT voltage profile during initial fast-charge phase.
Termination logic differs by chemistry: NiCd/NiMH uses PVD (3.8 mV drop after hold-off period), while Li-Ion switches to constant-voltage regulation followed by minimum-current cutoff (IMIN = 0.14 × IMAX). Temperature supervision uses three thresholds (VTCO = 0.225 × VCC, VLTF = 0.5 × VCC, VHTF = 0.25 × VCC) applied to TS pin with NTC thermistor network.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4 V to 6 V - defines compatible input supply rails for charger front-end design |
| VMCV Threshold | 2.00 V ±0.75% - sets maximum per-cell voltage limit for Li-Ion and NiMH/NiCd regulation |
| PVD Sensitivity | 3.8 mV ±20% - determines peak-voltage-detection resolution for NiCd/NiMH fast-charge termination |
| IMIN Termination | 14% of IMAX - triggers Li-Ion constant-voltage phase end when charging current drops below this ratio |
| TS Input Thresholds | VLTF = 0.5 × VCC, VHTF = 0.25 × VCC, VTCO = 0.225 × VCC - define thermal fault bands for safe charge suspension |
| Sleep Current | 5 µA - enables ultra-low-power standby during battery removal or idle periods |
| MOD Output Type | Push-pull - directly drives external N-channel MOSFET gate without level-shifting or external driver |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin narrow SOIC (SOIC-NB), body width 3.9 mm, lead pitch 1.27 mm, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SNS | Current-sense input | Detects voltage across external sense resistor (RSNS); ±50 mV hysteresis enables stable hysteretic current regulation |
| VSS | System ground | Reference node for all analog inputs and MOD/LED outputs; must connect to battery negative terminal |
| LED | Charge-status output | Open-drain indicator for charge state (blinking = qualification, on = fast charge, off = suspended/maintenance) |
| BAT | Battery-voltage input | Monitors scaled pack voltage via resistive divider; used for VMCV comparison and PVD sampling |
| TS | Temperature-sense input | Accepts voltage from NTC thermistor network; enables three-point thermal supervision (LTF/HTF/TCO) |
| RC | Timer-program input | Configures MTO, top-off enable/disable, trickle rate, and hold-off period via RC time constant |
| VCC | Supply-voltage input | Power rail requiring 10 µF + 0.1–0.22 µF local decoupling; 4–6 V operating range |
| MOD | Modulation-control output | Push-pull driver for external series FET; high = charge enabled, low = charge inhibited |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Multi-chemistry auto-detection | Identifies NiCd/NiMH vs. Li-Ion in real time using BAT voltage trajectory during initial fast-charge phase |
| Programmable termination timing | MTO set via RC network (2 kΩ–250 kΩ resistor + 0.001–1 µF capacitor) enables precise max charge duration tuning |
| Thermal fault recovery | Resumes charging automatically when TS voltage returns within VLTF–VHTF window after overtemperature suspension |
| Trickle-charge pulse control | RMTO resistor value directly sets pulse width (e.g., ~62.5 ms at 150 kΩ) for battery revival and maintenance |
| Integrated hold-off period | Fixed MTO/32 delay disables PVD at fast-charge start to prevent premature termination on new cells |
Applications
| Power Tools | Medical Handheld Devices |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery charge management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ2002D | Fixed NiCd/NiMH-only support; no Li-Ion algorithm or VMCV-based chemistry detection | Limited to nickel chemistries; lacks Li-Ion CC/CV mode and IMIN termination | Select only for cost-sensitive NiCd/NiMH-only systems where Li-Ion compatibility is unnecessary |
| BQ24075 | Integrated power-path FETs and USB-compatible input regulation; fixed Li-Ion-only operation | Designed for USB-powered portable devices; no NiCd/NiMH support or PVD capability | Choose when system requires seamless source selection (AC adapter/USB) and embedded power-FET integration |
Compared with BQ2000SN-B5G4, BQ2002D offers lower cost but forfeits Li-Ion support and programmability, while BQ24075 provides higher integration for USB-centric designs but eliminates multi-chemistry flexibility and external FET control.

FAQ
What battery chemistries does the BQ2000SN-B5G4 support?
The BQ2000SN-B5G4 supports NiCd, NiMH, and Li-Ion battery chemistries. It automatically detects chemistry during fast-charge initialization by analyzing the BAT pin voltage profile-reaching VMCV (2.00 V) indicates Li-Ion, while slower voltage rise confirms nickel-based chemistry. This enables single-charger compatibility across mixed-battery fleets without manual configuration or firmware updates.
How does the BQ2000SN-B5G4 terminate fast charge for NiCd/NiMH batteries?
The BQ2000SN-B5G4 terminates NiCd/NiMH fast charge using peak voltage detection (PVD) with 3.8 mV sensitivity, maximum charge time (MTO), maximum temperature (via TS pin), and minimum cell voltage (VLBAT = 950 mV). PVD sampling occurs at MTO/128 intervals during constant-current phase, and an initial hold-off period (MTO/32) prevents false triggering on new cells' voltage overshoot.
Can the BQ2000SN-B5G4 be used with multi-cell battery packs?
Yes, the BQ2000SN-B5G4 supports multi-cell packs via external resistive dividers on BAT and TS pins. For N-series cells, BAT divider scales total pack voltage to ≤2.00 V per cell (e.g., 6.0 V for 3S Li-Ion), and TS network uses NTC thermistor with precision resistors to map temperature to defined voltage thresholds (VLTF, VHTF, VTCO). Layout must maintain low-noise routing to SNS and RC pins.
What is the function of the MOD pin on the BQ2000SN-B5G4?
The MOD pin on the BQ2000SN-B5G4 is a push-pull output that directly controls the gate of an external N-channel MOSFET in the charging path. When MOD is high, charging current flows; when low, current is blocked. Unlike open-drain drivers, MOD requires no pull-up and delivers full VCC swing, simplifying gate drive design and improving efficiency in high-current (>1 A) applications.
Does the BQ2000SN-B5G4 include thermal protection features?
Yes, the BQ2000SN-B5G4 implements three-tier thermal supervision via the TS pin: VLTF (0.5 × VCC) triggers battery conditioning suspension, VHTF (0.25 × VCC) halts charging entirely, and VTCO (0.225 × VCC) forces permanent suspension until reset. These thresholds correspond to user-configurable NTC thermistor networks, enabling precise fault band definition across –20°C to +70°C operating range.
