Product details
Overview
BQ29413PW from Texas Instruments is a secondary overvoltage protection IC for 2-, 3-, or 4-cell Li-ion battery packs, featuring fixed 4.50 V per-cell overvoltage threshold, programmable delay via external capacitor on CD pin, and ultra-low 2 µA supply current. It operates across –40°C to 110°C and drives an external N-channel FET to blow a fuse during overvoltage events in notebook battery packs.
For engineers reviewing the BQ29413PW datasheet, BQ29413PW pinout, BQ29413PW application, or BQ29413PW equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use scenarios in portable instrumentation and equipment, and validated alternative parts with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The BQ29413PW implements precision cell-voltage monitoring using internal reference comparison across VC1–VC4 inputs, triggering a controlled delay sequence when any cell exceeds 4.50 V. Its output logic activates only after CD pin voltage reaches 1.2 V, ensuring immunity to transient spikes.
It supports flexible cell configurations (2S–4S) with defined connection sequences, includes high power supply ripple rejection, and maintains stable operation during pulse-charge conditions. The OUT pin provides rail-to-rail drive capability up to 1 mA sink current at 0.1 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Overvoltage Threshold | 4.50 V per cell - fixed, factory-trimmed accuracy enables precise second-level protection without calibration. |
| Supply Current | < 2 µA - enables long-term battery monitoring without significant self-discharge impact. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 110°C - supports industrial and high-ambient portable equipment environments. |
| Delay Time Programmability | Configured via external CD capacitor (e.g., 0.22 µF yields 1–2 s delay) - allows system-level timing control for fault response. |
| Input Voltage Range | VCn pins: 0–25 V; differential cell voltage: 0–5 V - accommodates full Li-ion cell stack range with margin. |
| Output Drive Capability | OUT sinks ≥5 µA at 0.1 V, sources ≥–1 mA at 3 V - directly interfaces standard NCH FET gate drivers. |
| Overvoltage Accuracy | ±25 mV at 25°C, ±50 mV at –20°C to 85°C - ensures reliable trip point across temperature without derating. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 (PW) package: 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm, 1.2 mm max height, 0.65 mm pitch, 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; monitors highest potential cell voltage. |
| 2 (VC2) | Sense input for second most positive cell | Monitors voltage between first and second cells in series string. |
| 3 (VC3) | Sense input for third most positive cell | Required for 3S/4S configurations; enables individual cell overvoltage detection. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground reference | System ground return for all analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance. |
| 5 (VC4) | Sense input for least positive cell | Connects to bottom of stack (cell 4 in 4S, cell 3 in 3S, or cell 2 in 2S). |
| 6 (CD) | Capacitor delay timer input | Charged by internal 0.18 µA current source; 1.2 V threshold sets overvoltage response time. |
| 7 (VDD) | Power supply input | Accepts 4–25 V; powers internal circuitry and bias networks; decoupling required. |
| 8 (OUT) | Protection output driver | Open-drain compatible; pulls high to activate external NCH FET for fuse blowing. |

FAQ
What is the exact overvoltage protection threshold of the BQ29413PW?
The BQ29413PW has a fixed, factory-trimmed overvoltage threshold of 4.50 V per cell, specified with ±25 mV accuracy at 25°C and ±50 mV over –20°C to 85°C. This value is not adjustable and applies uniformly across all supported 2S–4S configurations. The BQ29413PW uses this threshold to initiate the CD pin delay sequence upon detection of any single-cell overvoltage condition.
How does the BQ29413PW implement programmable delay time?
The BQ29413PW 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. A 0.22 µF capacitor yields 1–2 seconds typical delay. The BQ29413PW resets the timer if all cell voltages fall below 4.50 V before CD reaches 1.2 V, ensuring responsive recovery after transient overvoltages.
Can the BQ29413PW be used in a 2-cell Li-ion configuration?
Yes, the BQ29413PW supports 2-cell (2S), 3-cell (3S), and 4-cell (4S) configurations. For 2S operation, VC1 and VC2 are tied together at the top of the stack, VC3 is connected to the midpoint, and VC4 to the bottom (GND). The BQ29413PW monitors differential voltages VC1–VC2, VC2–VC3, VC3–VC4, and VC4–GND to detect overvoltage on either cell independently.
What is the recommended external capacitor value for the CD pin on the BQ29413PW?
The recommended CD capacitor value for the BQ29413PW is 0.22 µF, yielding a nominal delay time of 1–2 seconds. Values between 0.22 µF and 1 µF are supported per datasheet specifications. Larger capacitors increase delay linearly but require careful PCB layout to avoid leakage paths; the BQ29413PW's CD pin input current is specified at 5–12 µA when clamped at 1 V, confirming robustness against board-level parasitics.
Does the BQ29413PW require external passive components beyond the CD capacitor?
Yes, the BQ29413PW requires external RC filters: a 100 Ω–1 kΩ resistor (RIN) and 0.01–0.1 µF capacitor (CIN) on each VC pin for noise filtering, plus a 0–1 kΩ resistor (RVD) and 0.1 µF capacitor (CVD) on VDD. These components suppress high-frequency noise and ensure stable voltage monitoring. The BQ29413PW's internal architecture relies on these external filters to maintain ±25 mV overvoltage accuracy under real-world EMI conditions.
