Product details
Overview
BQ24703PW from Texas Instruments is a multicell lithium-ion battery charger controller and system power selector IC for notebook/sub-notebook PCs. It integrates dynamic power management (DPM), 300-kHz PWM buck regulation, ±0.4% charge voltage accuracy, ±4% charge current accuracy, and zero-volt charging capability. It operates with 7–28 V supply and supports dual-source selection between AC adapter and battery.
For engineers reviewing the BQ24703PW datasheet, BQ24703PW pinout, BQ24703PW application, or BQ24703PW equivalent, key selection criteria include its DPM-enabled adaptive charge current control, precision 1.196-V battery voltage reference, integrated gate drivers (ACDRV/BATDRV), and TSSOP-24 package compatibility with high-density portable power designs.
Technical Context
The BQ24703PW implements a fixed-frequency (300 kHz) PWM controller with type-II compensation on COMP, enabling high-efficiency synchronous buck regulation for Li-ion charging. Its DPM architecture dynamically adjusts battery charge current based on real-time adapter current (via ACP/ACN) and system load (VS), ensuring total input current never exceeds adapter capability.
It features three independent error amplifiers - for battery voltage (BATP/BATSET), battery current (SRP/SRN/SRSET), and adapter current (ACP/ACN/ACSET) - each with 75–135 mA/V transconductance gain and ≥90 dB CMRR. Selector logic enforces break-before-make transitions using VS feedback to prevent shoot-through during source switching.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 7–28 V - supports wide-input wall adapters and ensures operation across varying AC input conditions. |
| Battery Voltage Accuracy | ±0.4% - enables precise Li-ion cell regulation at 4.2 V per cell without external trimming. |
| Charge Current Accuracy | ±4% - guarantees reliable current limiting for safe fast-charging in portable systems. |
| PWM Frequency | 300 kHz (±10%) - balances efficiency and EMI while allowing compact magnetics in space-constrained notebooks. |
| Quiescent Current | 22–28 μA in sleep mode - minimizes battery drain during AC-off standby. |
| Reference Voltage (VREF) | 5.000 V ±0.37 mV/V line regulation - provides stable, low-noise reference for DAC-based programming of SRSET/ACSET. |
| Zero-Volt Charging | Supported via SRP terminal - allows charging deeply depleted Li-ion cells down to 0 V without external circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin TSSOP (PW), 0.65 mm pitch, body size 7.8 × 4.4 mm, thermal pad not present. Designed for reflow-compatible assembly and high-power dissipation (θJA = 68.23°C/W @ 500 LFM on high-K board).

| 19 VS | System load voltage monitor | Enables break-before-make transition by comparing system voltage to BATP; prevents overvoltage. |
| 20 GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital circuits; must be low-impedance and star-connected. |
| 21 SRP | Positive battery current sense | High-side current sense input; supports zero-volt charging and bidirectional current measurement. |
| 22 SRN | Negative battery current sense | Differential partner to SRP; connects to battery negative terminal for accurate ΔV sensing. |
| 23 IBAT | Battery current readback output | Analog voltage proportional to (SRP–SRN); 20 V/V gain; interfaces directly to ADC for fuel gauging. |
| 24 BATP | Battery voltage regulation input | Connects to battery divider; regulated to internal 1.196-V reference for precise 4.2-V/cell charging. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery charger controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ24702PW | Same pinout and core functionality, but lacks no-battery detection (VNOBAT) and uses different ALARM assertion logic on selector mismatch. | Supports basic AC/battery selection but not autonomous no-battery fallback; less suitable for hot-swap battery systems. | Select BQ24702PW only if ALARM behavior matching bq24703 is not required and cost is primary constraint. |
| BQ24780SRTWR | QFN-32, adds SMBus interface, integrated ADC, and enhanced telemetry (voltage/current/temp); higher integration but larger footprint. | Targets next-gen platforms needing firmware-configurable charge profiles and real-time battery diagnostics. | Choose BQ24780SRTWR when SMBus control, telemetry logging, or smaller solution size (no external DAC needed) is required. |
Compared with BQ24702PW, the BQ24703PW adds robust no-battery detection and stricter ALARM timing; compared with BQ24780SRTWR, it offers lower BOM cost and simpler analog configuration at the expense of digital configurability and telemetry.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for the BQ24703PW?
The BQ24703PW has a specified virtual junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. Its thermal design supports up to 1.4 W maximum power dissipation on a high-K PCB at 500 LFM airflow (θJA = 68.23°C/W). For continuous operation at full load, PCB layout must include adequate copper pour and thermal vias under the exposed pad area - though note the PW package lacks an exposed thermal pad.
Does the BQ24703PW support charging of lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO₄) batteries?
Yes, the BQ24703PW supports LiFePO₄ charging via the BATSET pin: applying 1.25 V to BATSET configures the battery voltage regulation to ~3.6 V (1.25 V × 2.88 gain), matching typical LiFePO₄ full-charge thresholds. The ±0.4% accuracy and zero-volt charging capability remain fully functional for this chemistry.
How does the BQ24703PW implement break-before-make during AC-to-battery switchover?
The BQ24703PW uses the VS pin to monitor system voltage relative to BATP. When VS exceeds BATP during AC removal, the IC delays BATDRV activation until VS drops below BATP - ensuring the battery path is not enabled until AC is fully disconnected. This hardware-enforced timing prevents cross-conduction and maintains system stability without firmware intervention.
Can the BQ24703PW operate without the VREF pin connected?
No - the VREF pin must be bypassed with a minimum 2.2-μF ceramic capacitor (recommended 10 μF) to stabilize the internal 5-V reference. Omitting this capacitor causes reference noise, leading to inaccurate SRSET/ACSET scaling and unstable PWM regulation. The BQ24703PW will not function reliably in charging or DPM modes without proper VREF decoupling.
What is the purpose of the VHSP pin, and how should it be decoupled?
The VHSP pin supplies the gate drive voltage for external P-MOSFETs (ACDRV/BATDRV/PWM). It is internally regulated to ~10 V below VCC (for VCC >10.5 V) or VCC–0.5 V (for lower VCC). A 1-μF X7R ceramic capacitor must be placed within 5 mm of the pin; additionally, a 13-V Zener diode between VCC and VHSP is mandatory to clamp inrush stress during startup and prevent MOSFET gate oxide damage.
