Product details
Overview
BQ29410DCTTG4 from Texas Instruments is a secondary overvoltage protection IC for 2-, 3-, or 4-cell Li-ion battery packs, featuring fixed 4.35 V overvoltage threshold, <2 µA supply current, programmable delay via external capacitor on CD pin, and OUT pin drive capable of activating external N-channel FETs for fuse blowing in notebook battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the BQ29410DCTTG4 datasheet, BQ29410DCTTG4 pinout, BQ29410DCTTG4 application, or BQ29410DCTTG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include cell-count flexibility (2–4 series), precision voltage threshold tolerance (±25 mV at 25°C), low-power operation across –40°C to 110°C, and compatibility with standard SSOP-8 PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The BQ29410DCTTG4 implements independent per-cell voltage monitoring using four dedicated sense inputs (VC1–VC4) referenced to GND, comparing each against an internal precision bandgap reference. Overvoltage detection triggers a controlled delay circuit that charges an external capacitor via the CD pin at 0.18 µA until 1.2 V is reached.
Upon CD pin reaching 1.2 V, the open-drain OUT pin transitions high (pull-up required externally), enabling external FET control for permanent fuse blow in second-level protection schemes. The device maintains stable operation during pulse charging and rejects supply ripple up to 28 V on VDD and sense pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Overvoltage Threshold | 4.35 V ±25 mV (25°C); enables precise secondary cutoff before cell damage in Li-ion stacks |
| Supply Current (ICC) | <2 µA typical; supports ultra-low-quiescent battery pack monitoring without significant self-discharge |
| Delay Time Programmability | Configured via CD pin capacitor (e.g., 0.22 µF → 1.5 s typical); allows tuning of fault response window |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 110°C; validated for automotive cabin and industrial portable equipment environments |
| Input Voltage Range | VC1–VC4: 0–25 V; supports full Li-ion stack voltage range including transient overshoots |
| OUT Pin Drive | Open-drain, 1.5–2.5 V high-level output at 40 µA load; interfaces directly with gate of NCH FETs |
| Hysteresis | 320 mV; prevents oscillation during recovery by requiring cell voltage to drop to 4.03 V before reset |
Pinout & Package
Package: SSOP-8 (DCT), 3.95 mm × 4.25 mm × 1.3 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VC1) | Most positive cell voltage sense input | Connects to top of 4-cell stack or shared node in 2-/3-cell configurations |
| 2 (VC2) | Second most positive cell voltage sense input | Required for 3- or 4-cell monitoring; tied to VC1 in 2-cell mode |
| 3 (VC3) | Third most positive cell voltage sense input | Used only in 4-cell configuration; tied to VC2 in 3-cell mode |
| 4 (GND) | Ground reference | System ground return for all internal comparators and bias circuits |
| 5 (VC4) | Least positive (bottom) cell voltage sense input | Connects to cathode of lowest cell; defines reference for differential sensing |
| 6 (CD) | Capacitor delay timing input | Charged at 0.18 µA; 1.2 V threshold sets overvoltage response time |
| 7 (VDD) | Power supply input | Accepts 4–25 V; powers internal circuitry and provides bias for OUT pull-up |
| 8 (OUT) | Open-drain protection output | Drives external NCH FET gate; requires external pull-up resistor to VDD or battery rail |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed high-accuracy overvoltage threshold | 4.35 V with ±25 mV max error at 25°C ensures reliable secondary cutoff before 4.4 V cell stress |
| Programmable overvoltage detection delay | External capacitor on CD pin sets delay from ~1 s to >10 s, enabling system-specific fault hold-off |
| Low power consumption | <2 µA ICC allows continuous monitoring in always-on battery packs without measurable drain |
| High supply ripple rejection | Stable operation under 28 V transients on VDD and sense inputs prevents false triggering during charging |
| Stable during pulse charge operation | No false trips observed during high-dV/dt charging pulses, critical for fast-charge battery systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar secondary overvoltage protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ29411PW | 4.40 V overvoltage threshold; TSSOP-8 package; same electrical specs except V(PROTECT) | Suitable where higher cell voltage tolerance is needed (e.g., high-voltage Li-ion chemistries) | Select when system requires 4.40 V trip point and TSSOP-8 footprint is preferred |
| MP2672GQ-Z | Integrated MOSFET driver + 4.35 V threshold; 3.3–28 V supply; different pinout and no CD-programmable delay | Replaces discrete FET + protection IC combo; lacks adjustable delay but offers faster response | Choose when board space is constrained and fixed 100 ms response suffices instead of capacitor-tuned delay |
Compared with BQ29410DCTTG4, BQ29411PW offers identical functionality with a 50 mV higher threshold for wider chemistry margin, while MP2672GQ-Z integrates power switching but removes delay configurability-making BQ29410DCTTG4 optimal for designs requiring precise, user-adjustable fault hold-off timing.

FAQ
What is the exact overvoltage protection threshold of the BQ29410DCTTG4?
The BQ29410DCTTG4 has a fixed overvoltage protection threshold of 4.35 V with a maximum accuracy tolerance of ±25 mV at 25°C and ±80 mV across the full –40°C to 110°C operating range. This value is factory-trimmed and non-adjustable, ensuring consistent secondary cutoff behavior across production units without calibration.
How does the BQ29410DCTTG4 implement programmable delay time?
The BQ29410DCTTG4 uses an internal 0.18 µA current source to charge an external capacitor connected to the CD pin. When the CD pin voltage reaches 1.2 V, the OUT pin activates. Delay time is calculated as tD = (1.2 V × CDELAY) / 0.18 µA - for example, a 0.22 µF capacitor yields ~1.5 s typical delay.
Can the BQ29410DCTTG4 be used in 2-cell battery configurations?
Yes, the BQ29410DCTTG4 supports 2-cell configurations by connecting VC1, VC2, and VC3 together to the positive terminal of the top cell, VC4 to the negative terminal of the bottom cell, and GND to system ground. This configuration uses only two sense points while maintaining accurate per-cell voltage monitoring.
What is the function of the OUT pin on the BQ29410DCTTG4?
The OUT pin on the BQ29410DCTTG4 is an open-drain output that transitions high (requires external pull-up) when overvoltage is detected and the CD delay expires. It is designed to drive the gate of an external N-channel FET, which in turn disconnects the battery pack or blows a fuse - providing irreversible secondary protection.
Does the BQ29410DCTTG4 require external passive components for basic operation?
Yes, the BQ29410DCTTG4 requires at minimum: (1) an external capacitor on the CD pin for delay timing, (2) a pull-up resistor on the OUT pin, and (3) optional RC filters on VC1–VC4 and VDD for noise immunity. No external voltage reference or precision resistors are needed - all sensing and threshold generation is internal.
