Product details
Overview
BQ24312DSGT from Texas Instruments is a Li-ion battery front-end protection IC that provides integrated input overvoltage (5.85 V typ), user-programmable input overcurrent (300–1500 mA range), and battery overvoltage (4.35 V typ) protection in a single 2 × 2 mm WSON-8 package. It uses an internal N-channel FET to isolate faults, features thermal shutdown at 140°C, and delivers status via open-drain FAULT pin - deployed in mobile phones and Bluetooth headsets for charger circuit safety.
For engineers reviewing the BQ24312DSGT datasheet, BQ24312DSGT pinout, BQ24312DSGT application, or BQ24312DSGT equivalent, key selection criteria include programmable OCP threshold via ILIM resistor, 1.5-A continuous input current capability, robust false-trigger immunity during current transients, and compatibility with 3–30 V input sources in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The BQ24312DSGT implements three independent protection channels: input overvoltage detection with 64 µs blanking time and 8-ms recovery, input overcurrent limiting with 176 µs blanking and 64-ms fault recovery, and battery overvoltage cutoff with 176 µs deglitch timing. Each fault triggers FAULT pin assertion and increments dedicated counters.
Its functional architecture includes a charge-pump bias generator, bandgap reference, current-sense amplifier, OVP/OCP/BVOVP comparators, thermal sensor, and logic-controlled N-FET gate driver. The CE pin enables host-controlled power-down with automatic reset of OCP and Bat-OVP counters upon re-enable.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 30 V - supports wide-input adapters including 5 V USB and 12 V wall adapters without external regulation. |
| Max Input Current | 1.5 A - defines maximum safe forward current through internal pass FET under normal operation. |
| OVP Threshold | 5.85 V (typ) - clamps output when input exceeds safe level; 20–110 mV hysteresis prevents chatter during transient recovery. |
| Battery OVP | 4.35 V (typ) - disconnects charging path if Li+ cell voltage exceeds safe termination threshold. |
| OCP Programmability | 300–1500 mA via ILIM resistor (15–90 kΩ) - enables precise current-limit tuning for diverse load profiles. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 140°C (typ) - disables FET and asserts FAULT to prevent die damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Package | 8-pin WSON (2.0 × 2.0 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) - ultra-compact footprint with exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin WSON (DSG) with exposed thermal pad electrically connected to VSS; requires PCB thermal pad connection to ground plane for reliable thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Power input | Accepts 3–30 V DC supply; requires ≥1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor to suppress cable-induced transients. |
| OUT | Protected output | Delivers regulated power to downstream charger IC; supports reverse current flow (accessory power mode) when VOUT > UVLO + 0.7 V. |
| VSS | Ground reference | Primary ground return; thermal pad must be soldered to same net for thermal management and electrical integrity. |
| VBAT | Battery voltage sense | Monitors Li+ pack voltage via external resistor divider; enables battery overvoltage cutoff at 4.35 V. |
| ILIM | OCP programming | Connects to VSS via resistor (15–90 kΩ) to set input overcurrent limit per IOCP = 25 ÷ RILIM (A/kΩ). |
| CE | Enable control | Active-low enable; internally pulled down - floating or grounded for always-on operation; high disables FET and clears fault counters. |
| FAULT | Fault status indicator | Open-drain active-low output signaling OVP, OCP, BVOVP, or thermal fault; requires external pull-up for host monitoring. |
| NC | No-connect | Internally unused; must remain unconnected per datasheet - no external routing or loading permitted. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-fault protection | Simultaneous real-time monitoring of input voltage, input current, and battery voltage - eliminates need for discrete protection components. |
| User-programmable OCP | Adjustable 300–1500 mA trip point using single external resistor - enables optimization for different adapter capabilities and system loads. |
| Transient-immune blanking | 64 µs OVP and 176 µs OCP blanking windows - prevents false triggering from fast-rising input spikes while maintaining response to sustained faults. |
| Reverse current support | Enables OUT→IN power delivery (e.g., phone powering headset) up to 1.5 A without additional circuitry - extends system functionality in dual-role ports. |
| Integrated thermal protection | 140°C shutdown with 20°C hysteresis - safeguards against thermal runaway during high-current operation or inadequate heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Li-ion front-end protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ24314DSGR | Same pinout and core protection functions; adds integrated 1.5-A load switch with controlled slew rate and higher OVP threshold (6.2 V). | Preferred where controlled turn-on sequencing or higher input voltage margin is required; not drop-in due to different OVP setting. | Select BQ24314DSGR when needing programmable soft-start or tolerance to 6.2-V adapter surges. |
| TPS259211DRCR | Single-channel eFuse with adjustable OCP (1–5 A), fixed 6.1-V OVP, no battery voltage monitoring or BVOVP function. | Lacks battery-side protection - suitable only for systems where battery monitoring occurs elsewhere (e.g., fuel gauge IC). | Choose TPS259211DRCR for pure input-side protection without battery sensing requirements. |

FAQ
What protection functions does the BQ24312DSGT provide?
The BQ24312DSGT provides three independent protection functions: input overvoltage protection (OVP) with 5.85 V threshold, user-programmable input overcurrent protection (OCP) adjustable from 300 mA to 1500 mA via ILIM resistor, and battery overvoltage protection (BVOVP) at 4.35 V. It also includes thermal shutdown at 140°C and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) at 2.7 V. All protections trigger FAULT pin assertion and isolate the output via internal N-FET. This comprehensive coverage makes BQ24312DSGT ideal for safeguarding Li-ion batteries in portable electronics.
How is the overcurrent threshold set on the BQ24312DSGT?
The overcurrent threshold on the BQ24312DSGT is set by connecting a resistor (RILIM) between the ILIM pin and VSS. The relationship is approximated by IOCP = 25 ÷ RILIM (with current in amperes and resistance in kΩ). Valid RILIM values range from 15 kΩ to 90 kΩ, yielding OCP thresholds from 1500 mA down to 300 mA. For example, a 24.9 kΩ resistor sets IOCP ≈ 1000 mA. This resistor-based programming allows precise tailoring of current limits without firmware changes - a key advantage of the BQ24312DSGT in hardware-defined safety systems.
Can the BQ24312DSGT support reverse current flow for accessory power?
Yes, the BQ24312DSGT supports reverse current flow from OUT to IN when VOUT exceeds UVLO + 0.7 V, enabling use cases like a smartphone powering a Bluetooth headset through the same port. In this mode, the internal FET conducts bidirectionally up to 1.5 A, eliminating the need for external diodes. However, reverse-current overcurrent protection is not implemented - only forward-direction OCP applies. This capability is explicitly documented in the BQ24312DSGT datasheet Section 8.1.1 and confirms its suitability for dual-role USB or proprietary accessory interfaces.
What is the role of the FAULT pin on the BQ24312DSGT?
The FAULT pin on the BQ24312DSGT is an active-low open-drain output that signals any fault condition: input overvoltage, input overcurrent, battery overvoltage, or thermal shutdown. It remains high-impedance during normal operation or when CE is high. When asserted low, it drives an external pull-up resistor to indicate failure to the host processor. The BQ24312DSGT does not auto-recover after fault assertion - the host must cycle CE or remove/reapply input power to clear latched faults. This behavior ensures reliable fault reporting in safety-critical BQ24312DSGT deployments.
Does the BQ24312DSGT require external components for basic operation?
Yes, the BQ24312DSGT requires several external components for reliable operation: a ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor at IN, another ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor at OUT, a resistor from ILIM to VSS for OCP programming, and optionally a pull-up resistor on FAULT and series resistor on CE for host interfacing. The VBAT pin must connect to the battery through a 100–470 kΩ resistor for safe overvoltage sensing. These components are mandatory per the BQ24312DSGT datasheet Figure 12 and ensure proper transient suppression, current limiting, fault reporting, and battery protection - omitting any compromises BQ24312DSGT functionality.
