Product details
Overview
BQ29419PWR from Texas Instruments is a secondary overvoltage protection IC for 2-, 3-, or 4-cell Li-ion battery packs, featuring fixed 4.30 V per-cell overvoltage threshold, <2 µA supply current, and programmable delay via external capacitor on CD pin; used in notebook computers and portable instrumentation to prevent cell damage during charging.
For engineers reviewing the BQ29419PWR datasheet, BQ29419PWR pinout, BQ29419PWR application, or BQ29419PWR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package mapping, functional pin roles, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for second-level battery protection design.
Technical Context
The BQ29419PWR monitors individual cell voltages (VC1–VC4) against a precision internal reference and triggers protection when any cell exceeds 4.30 V with ±80 mV accuracy over –40°C to 110°C. It implements a charge-based delay using an internal 0.18 µA current source into an external capacitor on the CD pin.
Upon reaching 1.2 V at CD, the OUT pin transitions high to drive an external N-channel FET, enabling fuse blow in the positive battery rail. The device maintains stable operation during pulse charging and rejects high-frequency supply ripple without false triggering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Overvoltage Threshold | 4.30 V per cell - precise second-level cutoff preventing Li-ion cell overcharge beyond safe voltage limit |
| Supply Current (ICC) | <2 µA - ultra-low quiescent power enables long-term battery monitoring without significant drain |
| Overvoltage Accuracy | ±80 mV over –40°C to 110°C - ensures reliable trip point across industrial temperature range |
| Delay Time Programmability | Configurable via CD pin capacitor (e.g., 0.22 µF → ~1.5 s delay) - allows tuning of response time to avoid nuisance trips |
| Cell Input Range | 0–25 V per VCx pin - supports full operating range of multi-cell Li-ion stacks up to 4 cells |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 110°C - qualified for harsh environments in portable and industrial battery systems |
| Hysteresis | 250 mV - prevents oscillation near trip point by requiring voltage to fall to 4.05 V before reset |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 (PW) package, 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm, 1.2 mm max height, lead pitch 0.65 mm, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-2-260°C-1 year.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VC1) | Most positive cell voltage sense | Connects to top of battery stack; highest potential input for 2–4 cell monitoring |
| 2 (VC2) | Second most positive cell voltage sense | Monitors voltage between first and second cell in series string |
| 3 (VC3) | Third most positive cell voltage sense | Required only for 4-cell configurations; senses intermediate node |
| 4 (GND) | Analog ground reference | Common return for all voltage inputs and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance |
| 5 (VC4) | Least positive cell voltage sense | Connects to bottom cell's positive terminal (or battery negative in 2-cell config) |
| 6 (CD) | Capacitor delay timing input | Internal 0.18 µA current charges external capacitor; 1.2 V threshold sets delay duration |
| 7 (VDD) | Power supply input | Accepts 4–25 V; powers internal circuitry and bias networks independently of cell stack |
| 8 (OUT) | Open-drain protection output | Drives external N-FET gate; sinks ≥5 µA at 0.1 V, sources ≤–1 mA at 3 V load |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 4.30 V overvoltage threshold | Guaranteed trip point eliminates calibration effort and ensures compliance with Li-ion safety standards |
| Programmable detection delay | External RC network on CD pin enables adjustable response window (e.g., 1–2 s) to tolerate transient spikes |
| High ripple rejection | Immunity to switching noise on VDD or cell lines prevents false triggering during DC-DC charger operation |
| Stable under pulse charge | Maintains accurate monitoring during intermittent high-current charging pulses without latch-up or drift |
| Low ICC & IIN | <2 µA supply current and <0.3 µA input bias enable direct connection to high-impedance cell taps |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar secondary overvoltage protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ29412PWR | 4.45 V overvoltage threshold, 320 mV hysteresis | Suitable for higher-voltage Li-ion chemistries (e.g., LiCoO₂ with extended upper limit) | Select when system requires tighter margin above nominal 4.2 V but still needs second-level redundancy |
| BQ29415PWR | 4.60 V threshold, same 8-pin TSSOP package and pinout | Targeted at specialized high-voltage Li-ion variants or custom battery designs with elevated charge termination | Choose only if battery specification explicitly mandates 4.60 V trip; otherwise risks insufficient safety margin |
Compared with BQ29419PWR, BQ29412PWR provides higher trip voltage for broader chemistry compatibility, while BQ29415PWR targets niche high-VOC cells-both retain identical delay programming, low ICC, and thermal robustness but shift protection thresholds outside standard Li-ion safety envelope.

FAQ
What is the exact overvoltage protection threshold of the BQ29419PWR?
The BQ29419PWR has a fixed overvoltage protection threshold of 4.30 V per cell, specified with ±80 mV accuracy over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to 110°C. This value is factory-trimmed and does not require external configuration. The BQ29419PWR is part of the bq2941x family, where each variant has a unique fixed threshold-BQ29419PWR is the 4.30 V option.
How is the delay time set on the BQ29419PWR?
The BQ29419PWR uses an internal 0.18 µA current source to charge an external capacitor connected to the CD pin; delay time equals (1.2 V × CDELAY) / 0.18 µA. For example, a 0.22 µF capacitor yields ~1.5 s delay. The BQ29419PWR does not support digital delay adjustment-only passive RC tuning is supported per datasheet SLUS669G.
Can the BQ29419PWR monitor fewer than four cells?
Yes-the BQ29419PWR supports 2-, 3-, or 4-cell configurations via specific interconnection schemes: for 2-cell, tie VC1=VC2=VC3=VDD and connect VC4 to bottom cell; for 3-cell, tie VC1=VC2=VDD and route VC3/VC4 accordingly. All configurations use the same BQ29419PWR device without modification.
What package type and dimensions does the BQ29419PWR use?
The BQ29419PWR is supplied in an 8-pin TSSOP (PW) package measuring 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch and maximum height of 1.2 mm. It features NiPdAu lead finish, RoHS compliance, and JEDEC MO-153 AA registration. The BQ29419PWR is not offered in MSOP (DCT) packaging-only PW variants are active per TI's packaging addendum.
Does the BQ29419PWR require external components for basic operation?
Yes-the BQ29419PWR requires at minimum an external capacitor on the CD pin to set overvoltage delay time, plus decoupling capacitance on VDD. Optional RC filters on VCx inputs improve noise immunity. No external resistors or references are needed, as the 4.30 V threshold and current source are fully integrated. The BQ29419PWR operates without firmware or host communication.
