Product details
Overview
BQ294700DSGR from Texas Instruments is a dedicated 2- to 4-series Li-ion battery overvoltage protection IC with factory-programmed 4.350 V OVP threshold, ±10 mV accuracy, external capacitor-programmed delay timer (1–2 s with 0.1 µF), and CMOS active-high output drive. It operates across –40°C to +110°C and supports notebook and UPS battery pack safety systems.
For engineers reviewing the BQ294700DSGR datasheet, BQ294700DSGR pinout, BQ294700DSGR application, or BQ294700DSGR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal and leakage performance, and real-world implementation guidance for second-level cell voltage monitoring and fuse-triggered shutdown.
Technical Context
The BQ294700DSGR independently monitors up to four series-connected Li-ion cells using analog sense inputs (V1–V4) referenced to VSS, comparing each against its fixed 4.350 V overvoltage threshold. Detection triggers an external RC-based delay timer on the CD pin, with timeout detection ensuring fault response even if the capacitor is open or shorted.
Its CMOS active-high output drives an NMOS FET to ground the fuse in overvoltage mode, enabling battery/charger current to blow the fuse. The device draws only 1 µA supply current when all cells are below threshold and maintains <100 nA per-cell input leakage-critical for long-term pack standby integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| OVP Threshold | 4.350 V ±10 mV at 25°C - enables precise cell voltage clamping without calibration overhead |
| OVP Hysteresis | 300 mV - prevents chatter during recovery near trip point |
| Delay Timer Range | 1–2 s with 0.1 µF CD capacitor - provides configurable fault response window for system-level safety timing |
| Supply Current | ≈1 µA when all cells < VPROTECT - minimizes parasitic drain on battery packs during storage |
| Input Leakage | <100 nA per cell input - preserves cell balancing integrity and extends shelf life |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +110°C - supports industrial-grade UPS and high-ambient notebook applications |
| Output Drive | CMOS active-high, 4.5 mA source capability - directly interfaces with standard NMOS gate drivers |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin WSON (DSG), 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm, exposed thermal pad connected to VSS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | Unregulated 3–20 V supply; requires RC filter for noise immunity |
| V4 | Cell voltage sense input | Sense positive terminal of topmost (4th) cell in stack; must be filtered with 1 kΩ/0.1 µF |
| V3 | Cell voltage sense input | Sense positive terminal of 3rd cell; shares same filtering requirements as V4 |
| V2 | Cell voltage sense input | Sense positive terminal of 2nd cell; unused pins for 2S/3S configs must be shorted appropriately |

Applications
| Notebook Battery Packs | UPS Battery Backup Systems |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 3S or 4S Li-ion packs in thin-profile notebooks where thermal margin is limited and long shelf life is required. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Second-level overvoltage monitor that triggers fuse blow via NMOS switch only after confirmed cell overvoltage persists for ≥1 s. Use Value: Prevents thermal runaway by enforcing strict 4.350 V/cell clamp with ±10 mV accuracy and eliminates false trips via 300 mV hysteresis. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding 4S Li-ion backup banks in enterprise UPS units operating continuously at elevated ambient temperatures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standby-mode protector that remains active at 1 µA while monitoring all cells, activating only upon sustained overvoltage. Use Value: Enables reliable +110°C operation (G4 variant) and maintains <100 nA/cell leakage to preserve charge retention over months of idle backup duty. |
| Portable Medical Devices | Industrial Handheld Test Equipment |
Use Scenario: Securing rechargeable 2S Li-ion power in Class II medical instruments requiring IEC 62368-1 compliance and fail-safe shutdown. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Independent cell monitor interfacing with isolated fault signaling path to main controller. Use Value: Provides deterministic 1–2 s delay before fuse activation-aligning with safety-critical timing budgets and supporting customer test mode (≤170 ms). |
Use Scenario: Managing 4S battery packs in ruggedized handheld testers exposed to wide temperature swings and ESD-prone environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Overvoltage guard with ±2000 V HBM ESD rating and integrated CD-pin fault detection for field reliability. Use Value: Guarantees fault response even if delay capacitor fails open/short-ensuring no single-point failure disables protection. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar overvoltage protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ294704DSGR | OVP threshold = 4.400 V (vs. 4.350 V); identical package, timing, and leakage specs | Used where higher cell voltage tolerance is needed for aged or high-voltage Li-ion chemistries | Select when system requires tighter margin above nominal 4.2 V/cell but below 4.45 V/cell max |
| BQ294708DSGR | OVP threshold = 4.500 V; same CMOS active-high output and 300 mV hysteresis | Targeted at high-capacity NMC or silicon-anode cells with extended upper voltage range | Choose for next-gen cells rated >4.35 V; verify thermal derating at 110°C still meets design margin |
Compared with BQ294700DSGR, BQ294704DSGR raises the trip point by 50 mV for relaxed aging headroom, while BQ294708DSGR adds 150 mV margin for emerging high-voltage chemistries-both retain identical delay, leakage, and thermal behavior, enabling drop-in layout reuse where OVP threshold is the sole variable.

FAQ
What is the exact overvoltage protection threshold for BQ294700DSGR?
The BQ294700DSGR has a factory-programmed overvoltage protection threshold of 4.350 V with ±10 mV accuracy at 25°C. This value is fixed and not adjustable; it applies to each monitored cell independently and remains stable across the full –40°C to +110°C operating range with specified drift limits.
Does BQ294700DSGR support 2-cell or 3-cell battery configurations?
Yes, BQ294700DSGR supports 2-, 3-, and 4-series Li-ion configurations. For 2S operation, V3 and V4 pins must be shorted to V2; for 3S, V4 is shorted to V3. All unused sense inputs require proper termination per TI's recommended schematics to maintain measurement accuracy and stability.
How is the overvoltage delay time set on BQ294700DSGR?
The delay time on BQ294700DSGR is set by an external capacitor connected to the CD pin. With a 0.1 µF capacitor, the delay is 1–2 seconds. The relationship follows tCD = K × CCD, where K ranges from 10 to 20, allowing scalable timing from 100 ms to 20 s depending on capacitor value and tolerance.
What output type does BQ294700DSGR use, and how is it interfaced?
BQ294700DSGR uses a CMOS active-high output. When triggered, OUT drives high (up to VDD – 0.3 V) with 4.5 mA source capability, directly compatible with standard NMOS gate drivers used to short the fuse to ground. No external pull-up is required.
Is BQ294700DSGR qualified for high-temperature industrial use?
Yes-the BQ294700DSGRG4.A variant (identical to BQ294700DSGR per ordering row context) is rated for –40°C to +110°C operation and carries Level-1 MSL rating. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 62°C/W) and low power dissipation (<20 µW typical) ensure reliable function in enclosed UPS or industrial handheld enclosures.
