Product details
Overview
BQ2002ESNTR from Texas Instruments is a CMOS NiCd/NiMH fast-charge management IC in 8-pin SOIC (D) package, featuring -∆V and peak voltage detection (PVD) termination, maximum voltage (2 V ±5%), temperature cutoff (0.5 × VCC ±5%), and configurable fast-charge safety timer (40–200 min). It drives an external MOSFET via open-drain CC output and provides LED status indication for charge state monitoring in portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the BQ2002ESNTR datasheet, BQ2002ESNTR pinout, BQ2002ESNTR application, or BQ2002ESNTR equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-termination logic (-∆V/PVD), TM-pin-selectable timing modes, pulse-trickle rate (C/32), low-power shutdown threshold (VCC − 1.5 V), and compatibility with single- to multi-cell NiCd/NiMH packs requiring precise, cost-effective charging control without microcontroller supervision.
Technical Context
The BQ2002ESNTR implements a state-machine-based charge controller with synchronized voltage sampling-triggered by INH pulses-to reject 50/60 Hz line ripple during -∆V or PVD detection. Its analog front-end includes high-impedance BAT input (≥50 MΩ) and thermistor-sense TS input (0.5–VCC range), enabling accurate cell-voltage and temperature monitoring using external resistor-divider and NTC networks.
Charge sequencing is fully autonomous: fast charge initiates on VCC power-up or BAT voltage drop below 2 V, then terminates on any of five conditions--∆V (−12 mV ±3 mV), PVD (−2.5 mV ±2.5 mV), VBAT ≥ 2 V, VTS < 0.5 × VCC, or TM-configured timeout. Post-fast-charge top-off (C/16 average rate) and maintenance pulse-trickle (C/32, 1.17 s period) are optional and TM-selectable.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.0–6.0 V - supports standard 5 V rail with ±20% tolerance; enables direct use with USB-powered or wall-adapter-based chargers. |
| Fast-Charge Termination | -∆V (−12 mV ±3 mV) or PVD (−2.5 mV ±2.5 mV) - selectable via TM pin; sampling synchronized to INH pulses to suppress AC ripple artifacts. |
| Max Cell Voltage Limit | 2 V ±5% - hard clamp preventing overvoltage damage to NiCd/NiMH cells; triggers immediate termination if exceeded. |
| Temperature Cutoff | 0.5 × VCC ±5% at TS pin - corresponds to ~2.5 V at 5 V supply; disables fast charge if battery thermistor indicates unsafe thermal condition. |
| Standby Current | <1 µA - achieved in low-power mode when VBAT ≥ VCC − 1.5 V; critical for long-term storage or battery-backed applications. |
| CC Output Type | Open-drain - allows direct interface to external N-channel MOSFET gate; sinks up to 10 mA for robust charge-current switching. |
| LED Output | Open-drain with Z-state idle - pulls low only during active fast charge; high-Z otherwise, enabling shared LED bus or external pull-up flexibility. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOIC (D), 150-mil width, 1.75 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU lead finish, MSL Level-1 (260°C reflow unlimited).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VCC) | Positive supply input | Accepts 4.0–6.0 V; powers internal bandgap reference, logic, and comparators; must be bypassed with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 2 (VSS) | System ground | Reference node for all analog measurements (BAT, TS) and digital logic; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 (BAT) | Battery voltage sense | High-impedance input (≥50 MΩ); monitors divided cell voltage; valid range 0–VCC; used for PVD/-∆V, VMCV, and VLBAT checks. |
| 4 (TS) | Temperature sense input | Accepts voltage from NTC thermistor divider (VCC–TS–VSS); triggers thermal cutoff if VTS < 0.5 × VCC ±5%. |
| 5 (INH) | Charge inhibit control | Active-high logic input; suspends fast charge and top-off while preserving trickle; resets voltage history on >12 ms high pulse. |
| 6 (CC) | Charge control output | Open-drain driver for external MOSFET; modulated during top-off (73 ms on / 1097 ms off); sinks 10 mA max at 0.8 V. |
| 7 (LED) | Charge status indicator | Open-drain output; driven low only during fast charge; high-Z otherwise - supports shared LED or custom status signaling. |
| 8 (TM) | Timer mode select | Three-level analog input (low/mid/high) setting fast-charge time, top-off duration, PVD/-∆V mode, hold-off, and trickle rate. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Multi-criteria fast-charge termination | Simultaneous monitoring of -∆V, PVD, voltage ceiling (2 V), temperature (0.5 × VCC), and TM-configured time - eliminates reliance on single-point failure modes. |
| Synchronized voltage sampling | INH-triggered sampling (100 ns–3.5 ms pulses) rejects 50/60 Hz ripple; 32-sample PVD or 16-sample -∆V averaging ensures stable termination under noisy supply conditions. |
| Configurable top-off and pulse-trickle | TM-selectable top-off (C/16 avg. rate, 40–200 min) and maintenance trickle (C/32, 1.17 s period) extend capacity retention without overcharge risk. |
| Low-power shutdown mode | Automatic entry when VBAT ≥ VCC − 1.5 V; reduces ICC to <1 µA - preserves system battery during storage or standby. |
| Direct LED status signaling | Dedicated open-drain LED output with unambiguous fast-charge-only low-state - eliminates need for external logic or MCU polling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NiCd/NiMH charge management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ2002GSNTR | Different TM-programmed timing limits: 160 min fast-charge (vs. 200 min), 80 min top-off (vs. none for BQ2002ESNTR), identical -∆V/PVD thresholds and pinout. | Preferred for designs requiring shorter fast-charge windows or mandatory top-off phase; same PCB layout and bill-of-materials except TM resistor network. | Select BQ2002GSNTR when tighter charge-time control or guaranteed top-off is required; verify TM biasing matches Table 1 mid/high settings. |
| MAX713CPA+ | 5 V fixed supply only (no 4–6 V range); uses different termination algorithm (dV/dt + temperature); 16-pin PDIP/SOIC package - not pin-compatible. | Used in legacy industrial chargers; lacks synchronized sampling and PVD mode; requires external op-amps for precision voltage sensing. | Choose MAX713CPA+ only for drop-in replacement in existing 16-pin layouts; expect redesign effort for voltage reference, timing, and TS interface. |
Compared with BQ2002ESNTR, BQ2002GSNTR offers tighter timing granularity and enabled top-off at the cost of reduced maximum fast-charge duration, while MAX713CPA+ demands board-level redesign due to differing pin count, supply constraints, and analog architecture - making BQ2002ESNTR optimal for new SOIC-based NiCd/NiMH charger designs prioritizing integration and ripple-immune termination.

FAQ
What termination methods does the BQ2002ESNTR support for NiCd/NiMH fast charging?
The BQ2002ESNTR supports five independent fast-charge termination methods: negative delta voltage (-∆V) detection at −12 mV ±3 mV, peak voltage detection (PVD) at −2.5 mV ±2.5 mV, maximum cell voltage (2 V ±5%), maximum temperature (via TS pin voltage < 0.5 × VCC ±5%), and TM-configurable maximum time (40–200 min). All methods operate concurrently, and termination occurs upon the first condition met. This multi-layered approach ensures robust safety across varying battery chemistries and environmental conditions in the BQ2002ESNTR.
How does the TM pin configure BQ2002ESNTR behavior?
The TM pin is a three-level analog input that selects fast-charge time (40/80/200 min), top-off enablement and duration, PVD vs. -∆V termination mode, voltage hold-off period, and pulse-trickle rate. Mid-level (VCC/2 ±0.5 V) sets PVD mode and 200-min fast-charge limit for BQ2002ESNTR; low-level enables -∆V and 80-min limit; high-level selects 40-min limit and disables top-off. Resistor dividers between VCC and VSS generate the required voltage levels, and the BQ2002ESNTR interprets them without external logic.
Can BQ2002ESNTR be used for multi-cell NiMH battery packs?
Yes, the BQ2002ESNTR supports multi-cell NiMH packs through external resistor-divider networks on the BAT pin. For an N-cell pack, RB1/RB2 = N − 1 sets the divider ratio so that full-pack voltage maps to ≤2 V at BAT - maintaining validity for the 2 V ±5% maximum cell voltage check. Input impedance must be 200 kΩ–1 MΩ. The BQ2002ESNTR itself monitors per-cell-equivalent voltage, not total pack voltage, ensuring correct termination regardless of series count.
What is the function of the INH pin on BQ2002ESNTR?
The INH pin is an active-high charge inhibit input that suspends fast charge and top-off activity while preserving the internal timer state and allowing pulse-trickle to continue. When INH goes high, the BQ2002ESNTR freezes LED output and erases PVD/-∆V voltage history after >12 ms; returning INH low resumes charging from the suspended point. It also enables synchronized voltage sampling when pulsed (100 ns–3.5 ms), which is critical for rejecting AC ripple during termination decisions in the BQ2002ESNTR.
Does BQ2002ESNTR include built-in protection against reverse battery insertion?
No, the BQ2002ESNTR does not integrate reverse-polarity protection. Its BAT pin accepts 0–VCC input but lacks internal diode clamping or polarity-sensing circuitry. Reverse battery connection may damage external components or cause undefined behavior. System-level protection - such as a series Schottky diode or ideal diode controller on the battery input path - must be implemented externally to safeguard the BQ2002ESNTR and associated circuitry.
