Product details
Overview
BQ29410PWR 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, <2 µA supply current, and programmable delay via external capacitor on CD pin. It monitors individual cell voltages (VC1–VC4), drives an external N-channel FET to blow the fuse upon overvoltage, and operates across –40°C to 110°C in portable instrumentation battery safety circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BQ29410PWR datasheet, BQ29410PWR pinout, BQ29410PWR application, or BQ29410PWR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use scenarios in notebook and portable equipment battery packs, and validated alternative options with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The BQ29410PWR implements precision voltage monitoring across up to four series-connected Li-ion cells using dedicated sense inputs (VC1–VC4), comparing each against an internal 4.35 V reference with ±25 mV accuracy at 25°C and ±80 mV over full temperature range. Its protection logic initiates only when any single cell exceeds threshold, triggering 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, enabling fuse blow in the positive battery rail. The device maintains stable operation during pulse charge and rejects high-frequency supply ripple without false triggering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Overvoltage Threshold | 4.35 V per cell - precise trip point for second-level Li-ion cell overvoltage protection |
| Supply Current (ICC) | <2 µA - ultra-low quiescent power enables long-term battery pack standby without drain |
| Delay Time Programmability | Configurable via CD pin capacitor (e.g., 0.22 µF → 1.5 s typical) - allows tuning of response time to avoid nuisance trips |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 110°C - supports industrial and high-ambient portable equipment environments |
| Cell Input Range | 0 V to 25 V per VCx pin - accommodates full 4-cell stack (up to 17.4 V nominal) with margin |
| Overvoltage Hysteresis | 320 mV - ensures clean reset after fault clearance without oscillation near threshold |
| OUT Pin Drive | Open-drain, 1.5–2.5 V high-level at 40 µA - directly interfaces standard NCH gate drivers for fuse control |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 (PW) package, 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm, 1.2 mm max height, RoHS-compliant, NIPDAU lead finish, MSL Level-2 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VC1) | Sense input for most positive cell | Connects to top of battery stack; must be wired before VC2–VC4 to prevent false triggers |
| 2 (VC2) | Sense input for second most positive cell | Monitors voltage between first and second cell; requires sequential connection per datasheet |
| 3 (VC3) | Sense input for third most positive cell | Enables 3- or 4-cell monitoring; unused in 2-cell config (tied to VC2) |
| 4 (GND) | Analog and power ground reference | Common return for all sense inputs and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance |
| 5 (VC4) | Sense input for least positive cell | Connects to bottom of stack (cell 4 cathode or cell 1 anode in 4S); critical for differential sensing |
| 6 (CD) | Capacitor delay timing input | Charged by 0.18 µA current source; 1.2 V threshold determines overvoltage response delay |
| 7 (VDD) | Power supply input | Accepts 4 V to 25 V; powers internal circuitry and OUT driver; bypass with 0.1 µF capacitor |
| 8 (OUT) | Open-drain protection output | Drives external NCH FET gate; high = fault active; requires pull-up to VDD or battery voltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 4.35 V overvoltage threshold | Guaranteed ±25 mV accuracy at 25°C enables reliable second-level cell protection without calibration |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar secondary overvoltage protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ29411PWR | 4.40 V overvoltage threshold (50 mV higher), same pinout and timing behavior | Used where tighter cell voltage tolerance permits higher trip point, e.g., newer NMC chemistries with wider safe voltage window | Select when system design allows 4.40 V per-cell limit and no PCB change is desired |
| BQ29419PWR | 4.30 V overvoltage threshold (50 mV lower), identical architecture and package | Deployed in LCO or high-sensitivity cells requiring earlier intervention to prevent cobalt oxide degradation | Choose for legacy LiCoO₂ cells or designs prioritizing maximum cycle life over peak capacity |
Compared with BQ29410PWR, BQ29411PWR raises the protection threshold for higher-voltage chemistries while BQ29419PWR lowers it for conservative aging mitigation - both retain identical delay programming, supply current, and thermal range, enabling drop-in replacement with only threshold recalibration.

FAQ
What is the exact overvoltage protection threshold of the BQ29410PWR?
The BQ29410PWR has a fixed overvoltage protection threshold of 4.35 V per cell, with a typical accuracy of ±25 mV at 25°C and ±80 mV over the full –40°C to 110°C operating range. This value is factory-trimmed and non-adjustable, ensuring consistent second-level protection across production units without calibration.
How does the BQ29410PWR implement programmable delay time?
The BQ29410PWR uses an internal 0.18 µA current source to charge an external capacitor connected to the CD pin. When the CD 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. The BQ29410PWR requires no external clock or digital interface for this function.
Can the BQ29410PWR be used in a 2-cell Li-ion configuration?
Yes, the BQ29410PWR supports 2-cell configurations by connecting VC1, VC2, and VC3 together to the positive terminal of the top cell, and VC4 to the negative terminal of the bottom cell (GND). The device internally measures differential voltages (VC1–VC2, VC2–VC3, VC3–VC4, VC4–GND) and triggers if any exceeds 4.35 V - making it fully compatible with 2S, 3S, and 4S topologies.
What is the recommended external component for the CD pin on the BQ29410PWR?
Texas Instruments recommends a 0.22 µF ceramic capacitor (X7R or better) placed as close as possible to the CD pin and GND for standard 1.5 s delay. A 1 kΩ resistor in series with the capacitor is optional for ESD protection but not required for basic operation. The BQ29410PWR datasheet specifies CDELAY range of 0.22 µF to 1 µF for delays from ~1 s to ~5 s.
Does the BQ29410PWR require a separate power supply or draw from the battery stack?
The BQ29410PWR draws power from VDD, which may be connected directly to the battery stack's positive rail (up to 25 V) or to a regulated auxiliary supply. It does not require an isolated supply. With <2 µA quiescent current, the BQ29410PWR minimizes load on the monitored pack - critical for long-term storage and low-power standby modes in portable equipment.
