Product details
Overview
BQ2057TSN from Texas Instruments is an advanced linear lithium-ion/lithium-polymer charge management IC for dual-cell (8.2 V) battery packs. It integrates voltage regulation (±1% accuracy), current regulation (125 mV threshold), AutoComp™ dynamic impedance compensation, temperature-monitored charging, and automatic recharge. It drives external PNP or P-channel MOSFET pass devices in portable medical equipment and telematics control units.
For engineers reviewing the BQ2057TSN datasheet, BQ2057TSN pinout, BQ2057TSN application, or BQ2057TSN equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The BQ2057TSN implements a three-phase linear charge algorithm-conditioning (10% of regulation current), constant-current, and constant-voltage-with integrated precharge threshold (6.1 V) and recharge threshold (VO(REG) − 200 mV). It supports both high-side and low-side current sensing via the SNS pin and uses the TS pin to monitor battery temperature using V(TS1) = 30% VCC and V(TS2) = 60% VCC thresholds.
Its CC pin delivers a source-follower output to drive external pass transistors, while the STAT pin provides three-state status indication (high = charging, low = done, high-impedance = fault/sleep). The COMP pin enables AutoComp™ gain (2.2 V/V typical) to dynamically adjust regulation voltage based on charge current and internal pack impedance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Charge Regulation Voltage | 8.2 V ±1% - precisely regulates dual-cell Li-ion/Li-pol packs without external feedback resistors. |
| Current Regulation Threshold | 125 mV (typical, high-side) - sets full-charge current via external sense resistor; enables 1 A charge with 0.125 Ω resistor. |
| Precharge Threshold | 6.1 V (min 5.9 V, max 6.22 V) - initiates safe low-current conditioning for deeply discharged dual-cell batteries. |
| Charge Termination Current | −14 mV (typical, relative to VCC or VSS) - detects taper-down to end CV phase and prevent overcharge. |
| AutoComp™ Gain | 2.2 V/V (typical) - scales voltage regulation offset proportionally to sensed current, reducing charge time by compensating for IR drop. |
| VCC Operating Range | 4.5 V to 15 V - supports wide-input wall adapters and USB-powered systems without LDO pre-regulation. |
| Operating Temperature | −20°C to +70°C - qualified for industrial and automotive-adjacent portable electronics environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin TSSOP (TS), body size 3.00 mm × 4.40 mm, exposed pad optional per TI SLUS025G.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SNS | Current sense input | Accepts voltage drop across external sense resistor; supports high- or low-side placement without added components. |
| BAT | Battery voltage sense input | Direct connection to battery positive terminal; enables accurate regulation independent of PCB trace resistance. |
| COMP | AutoComp™ compensation input | Adjusts regulation voltage dynamically during charge to offset battery internal impedance effects. |
| CC | Charge control output | Source-follower driver for external PNP or P-channel MOSFET; sinks up to 40 mA. |
| VSS | Ground reference | Common return for current sense, temperature sense, and STAT output; must be low-impedance. |
| STAT | Charge status output | Three-state signal: high = charging, low = done, high-Z = temperature fault or sleep mode. |
| VCC | Supply voltage input | Power source and current reference for high-side sensing; also powers internal regulators and comparators. |
| TS | Temperature sense input | Monitors external thermistor divider; disables charge if voltage falls outside 30%–60% VCC window. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated battery conditioning | Applies ~10% regulation current below 6.1 V to safely revive deeply discharged dual-cell packs while limiting pass-device heating. |
| AutoComp™ dynamic compensation | Reduces total charge time by adjusting regulation voltage in real time to counteract battery IR drop during high-current phases. |
| Programmable charge termination | Stops charging when sensed current drops to −14 mV at SNS pin, preventing overcharge and extending cycle life. |
| Low-dropout architecture | 0.3-V dropout minimizes power loss and thermal stress in external pass transistor under worst-case input-to-battery delta. |
| Three-state STAT output | Enables direct LED drive (single or dual-color) or host processor interface without external logic or pull-up resistors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-cell Li-ion linear charge management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ2057WTS | 8.4 V fixed regulation voltage (vs. BQ2057TSN's 8.2 V); otherwise identical pinout, package, and feature set. | Targets higher-capacity dual-cell Li-ion packs requiring 8.4 V termination; not interchangeable without battery chemistry verification. | Select BQ2057WTS only when battery specification mandates 8.4 V per 2S configuration. |
| TP4056 | Single-cell only (4.2 V), no temperature monitoring, no AutoComp™, no programmable termination, SO-8 package only. | Limited to cost-sensitive consumer accessories; lacks safety features required for medical or automotive-qualified designs. | Use TP4056 only in non-safety-critical, single-cell applications where BQ2057TSN's dual-cell support and thermal protection are unnecessary. |
Compared with BQ2057WTS, BQ2057TSN provides tighter voltage matching for standard 8.2 V dual-cell Li-ion packs; compared with TP4056, it adds essential dual-cell regulation, hardware temperature enforcement, and dynamic impedance compensation-critical for reliability in telematics and medical use cases.

FAQ
What is the exact charge regulation voltage of the BQ2057TSN?
The BQ2057TSN has a fixed charge regulation voltage of 8.2 V, with a tolerance of ±1% over temperature and supply voltage ranges. This value is factory-trimmed and does not require external resistive feedback. The BQ2057TSN is specifically designated for dual-cell Li-ion or Li-polymer battery packs requiring precise 8.2 V termination, as confirmed in TI's SLUS025G datasheet Section 8.5.
Does the BQ2057TSN support both high-side and low-side current sensing?
Yes, the BQ2057TSN supports both configurations without additional components. The SNS pin accepts the voltage drop across an external sense resistor placed either between VCC and SNS (high-side) or between VSS and SNS (low-side). The datasheet specifies distinct V(SNS) thresholds for each mode-103.6–137.5 mV for high-side and 108.1–143 mV for low-side-ensuring accurate current regulation in either topology.
How does the AutoComp™ feature function in the BQ2057TSN?
The AutoComp™ feature in the BQ2057TSN applies a gain of 2.2 V/V (typical) to the COMP pin input, allowing dynamic adjustment of the voltage regulation setpoint based on real-time charge current. This compensates for voltage drop across the battery's internal impedance, reducing total charge time while maintaining safety. It is enabled by connecting a resistor network to COMP and is fully characterized in TI's SLUS025G Section 8.5 and Figure 9-2.
What is the purpose of the TS pin on the BQ2057TSN?
The TS pin on the BQ2057TSN monitors battery temperature via an external thermistor divider. It compares the applied voltage against internal thresholds of 30% VCC (V(TS1)) and 60% VCC (V(TS2)). If the voltage falls outside this window, charging is suspended and STAT goes high-impedance. This hardware-level safety function operates independently of VCC fluctuations and is mandatory for IEC 62368-1 compliance in portable medical and automotive applications.
Can the BQ2057TSN automatically restart charging after battery voltage drops post-termination?
Yes, the BQ2057TSN implements automatic recharge: when the battery voltage falls below V(RCH) = VO(REG) − 200 mV (i.e., 8.2 V − 0.2 V = 8.0 V), the device reinitiates the full three-phase charge cycle. This behavior is inherent to the BQ2057TSN's design and requires no external circuitry or host intervention, ensuring consistent battery readiness in intermittently powered systems like EPOS terminals and telematics loggers.
