Product details
Overview
BQ29410PW from Texas Instruments is a secondary overvoltage protection IC for 2-, 3-, or 4-cell Li-ion battery packs, featuring fixed 4.35 V per-cell overvoltage threshold, programmable delay via external capacitor on CD pin, and ultra-low 2 µA supply current. It monitors individual cell voltages (VC1–VC4), drives an external N-channel FET to blow a fuse upon overvoltage, and operates across –40°C to 110°C - used in notebook computer battery packs requiring redundant safety protection.
For engineers reviewing the BQ29410PW datasheet, BQ29410PW pinout, BQ29410PW application, or BQ29410PW equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use scenarios, and validated alternative parts - all grounded in TI's SLUS669G datasheet and official packaging data for the TSSOP-8 (PW) variant.
Technical Context
The BQ29410PW implements precision voltage monitoring across four differential sense inputs (VC1–VC4), comparing each cell voltage against an internal 4.35 V reference with ±50 mV accuracy over –20°C to 85°C. Its protection logic triggers only when any single cell exceeds threshold, initiating a controlled delay via CD pin current source (0.18 µA) charging an external capacitor.
Upon CD pin voltage reaching 1.2 V, the open-drain OUT pin transitions high to activate an external NCH FET; recovery occurs only after all cells fall below (4.35 V – Vhys), where hysteresis is 320 mV. The device maintains stable operation during pulse charging and rejects supply ripple without external filtering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Overvoltage Threshold | 4.35 V per cell - fixed, factory-trimmed value enabling precise second-level protection for Li-ion stacks. |
| Supply Current (ICC) | < 2 µA - enables always-on monitoring without significant battery drain in standby mode. |
| CD Pin Current Source | 0.18 µA - sets programmable delay time (tD = 1.2 V × CDELAY / 0.18 µA) for configurable response timing. |
| Overvoltage Accuracy | ±50 mV (TA = –20°C to 85°C) - ensures reliable trip point across industrial temperature range. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 110°C - supports deployment in high-thermal-stress battery pack environments. |
| Output Type | Open-drain OUT - directly interfaces with standard N-channel MOSFETs for fuse-blowing control path. |
| Input Voltage Range | VCn pins: 0–25 V; differential cell voltage: 0–5 V - accommodates full Li-ion cell voltage swing plus margin. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 (PW) package, 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 1.2 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1 (260°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VC1) | Sense input for most positive cell | Connects to top of battery stack; highest voltage node in series configuration. |
| 2 (VC2) | Sense input for second most positive cell | Monitors voltage between first and second cell in 3- or 4-cell packs. |
| 3 (VC3) | Sense input for third most positive cell | Required for 4-cell configurations; enables per-cell monitoring across full stack. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground reference | System ground return for all internal circuits and voltage references. |
| 5 (VC4) | Sense input for least positive cell | Connects to bottom of stack (cell 1 anode); completes differential sensing chain. |
| 6 (CD) | Capacitor delay timer input | External capacitor sets overvoltage response delay; internal 0.18 µA current source charges it. |
| 7 (VDD) | Power supply input | Accepts 4–25 V; powers internal circuitry and bias networks independent of battery topology. |
| 8 (OUT) | Open-drain protection output | Drives external NCH FET gate; high-impedance until overvoltage event, then pulls high to activate fuse blow. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed high-accuracy overvoltage threshold | 4.35 V ±50 mV (–20°C to 85°C) - eliminates calibration overhead and ensures consistent safety margin. |
| Programmable overvoltage detection delay | Configurable via external CD capacitor (e.g., 0.22 µF → ~1.5 s delay) - prevents nuisance trips during transient spikes. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | <2 µA ICC - extends shelf life and reduces self-discharge impact in long-term storage applications. |
| High power supply ripple rejection | No external supply filter required - simplifies PCB layout and reduces BOM count in space-constrained battery modules. |

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 (50 mV higher); otherwise identical pinout, timing, and specs. | Used where tighter cell balancing allows higher trip point without compromising safety margin. | Select when battery chemistry or pack design tolerates elevated protection threshold. |
| BQ29419PW | 4.30 V overvoltage threshold (50 mV lower); same package, temperature range, and functional architecture. | Deployed in conservative designs using older Li-ion cells with lower maximum voltage tolerance. | Choose for legacy cell chemistries or applications requiring wider safety margin below 4.35 V. |
Compared with BQ29410PW, BQ29411PW raises protection voltage for improved charge utilization, while BQ29419PW lowers it for enhanced margin with aging cells - both retain identical delay programming, low-power operation, and TSSOP-8 footprint.

FAQ
What is the overvoltage protection threshold of the BQ29410PW?
The BQ29410PW has a fixed overvoltage protection threshold of 4.35 V per cell, specified with ±50 mV accuracy over –20°C to 85°C. This value is factory-trimmed and non-adjustable, ensuring consistent second-level protection behavior across production units without calibration.
How does the BQ29410PW implement programmable delay for overvoltage detection?
The BQ29410PW uses an internal 0.18 µA current source to charge an external capacitor connected to the CD pin. Delay time is calculated as tD = (1.2 V × CDELAY) / 0.18 µA - for example, a 0.22 µF capacitor yields ~1.5 s delay. The OUT pin activates only after CD reaches 1.2 V.
Can the BQ29410PW be used in 2-cell battery configurations?
Yes, the BQ29410PW supports 2-, 3-, and 4-cell Li-ion configurations. For 2-cell use, VC1 and VC2 are tied together at the top of the stack, VC3 is connected to the mid-point, and VC4 to the bottom - full pin functionality remains active with no reconfiguration needed.
What is the operating temperature range of the BQ29410PW?
The BQ29410PW operates across –40°C to 110°C ambient temperature, validated per TI's SLUS669G datasheet. This range covers demanding environments including automotive cabin modules, industrial handhelds, and high-power portable equipment battery packs.
Does the BQ29410PW require external passive components for basic operation?
Yes - a minimum external CD capacitor is required to set overvoltage delay time, and recommended RC filters (RIN/CIN on VC pins, RVD/CVD on VDD) improve noise immunity. No external voltage reference or op-amps are needed, as all sensing and reference circuitry is integrated within the BQ29410PW.
