Product details
Overview
BQ294707DSGT from Texas Instruments is a dedicated 2- to 4-series Li-ion battery overvoltage protection IC with factory-programmed 4.225 V OVP threshold, ±10 mV accuracy, and open-drain active-low output. It monitors each cell independently, uses an external capacitor on the CD pin to set a 1–2 s fault delay, and draws only ~1 µA supply current during normal operation-enabling robust secondary protection in space-constrained battery packs.
For engineers reviewing the BQ294707DSGT datasheet, BQ294707DSGT pinout, BQ294707DSGT application, or BQ294707DSGT equivalent, key selection considerations include its NCH open-drain output configuration, 0.05 V hysteresis, 100 nA per-cell input leakage, WSON-8 (2 mm × 2 mm) package, and support for customer test mode with ≤170 ms reduced delay.
Technical Context
The BQ294707DSGT implements independent analog voltage comparators per cell input (V1–VSS through V4–V3), each referenced to a precision internal bandgap. Its delay timer circuit charges and discharges the external CD capacitor using a fixed-current source, enabling programmable response timing without internal RC components.
Unlike CMOS-active-high variants, the BQ294707DSGT drives OUT low during overvoltage faults and presents high-impedance when inactive-requiring an external pull-up resistor. Its timeout detection on the CD pin ensures fail-safe activation even if the capacitor is shorted or open.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| OVP Threshold | 4.225 V ±10 mV at 25°C - sets precise cell overvoltage trip point for 4S Li-ion stacks |
| OVP Hysteresis | 50 mV - prevents chatter near trip point; enables clean recovery at 4.175 V |
| Supply Current | ≈1 µA (VCELL(ALL) < VPROTECT) - minimizes parasitic drain in always-on battery protection |
| Per-Cell Input Leakage | <100 nA - preserves cell balance and avoids measurement error in high-impedance sensing networks |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar overvoltage protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ294701DSGT | 4.250 V OVP threshold, 300 mV hysteresis, CMOS active-high output | Requires NMOS FET driver instead of PMOS; no external pull-up needed but less flexible for isolated signaling | Select when higher OVP threshold and active-high logic simplify existing fuse-control architecture |
| BQ294705DSGT | 4.450 V OVP threshold, 300 mV hysteresis, CMOS active-high output | Targets higher-voltage Li-ion chemistries (e.g., LiCoO₂ with elevated charge termination); incompatible with 4.225 V systems | Choose only if system requires 4.45 V trip point and can accommodate active-high interface and 300 mV hysteresis |
Compared with BQ294701DSGT and BQ294705DSGT, the BQ294707DSGT offers tighter 50 mV hysteresis and open-drain output-enabling safer, more flexible integration with PMOS-based fuse switches and isolated monitoring circuits in compact battery management designs.

FAQ
What is the exact overvoltage protection threshold of the BQ294707DSGT?
The BQ294707DSGT has a factory-programmed overvoltage protection threshold of 4.225 V with ±10 mV accuracy at 25°C. This value is laser-trimmed during manufacturing and remains stable across temperature, with worst-case drift of ±54 mV at 110°C. The BQ294707DSGT does not support user adjustment of this threshold.
How does the BQ294707DSGT handle a shorted or open CD capacitor?
The BQ294707DSGT includes built-in timeout detection on the CD pin. If the external delay capacitor is shorted to VSS or left unconnected (open), the CD pin fails to reach its expected charge level within the timeout window, causing the BQ294707DSGT to immediately assert the active-low OUT signal-ensuring fail-safe overvoltage response regardless of capacitor integrity.
What output configuration does the BQ294707DSGT use, and how should it be interfaced?
The BQ294707DSGT features an NCH open-drain active-low output. During normal operation, OUT is high-impedance; during overvoltage, it pulls low to VSS. An external pull-up resistor (typically 5 kΩ to VDD) is required to establish a defined logic-high state. This configuration enables direct drive of PMOS FET gates for fuse control in battery protection circuits.
Can the BQ294707DSGT be used in 2-cell or 3-cell battery configurations?
Yes, the BQ294707DSGT supports 2S, 3S, and 4S Li-ion configurations. For 2S operation, pins V3 and V4 must be shorted to V2; for 3S, pin V4 must be shorted to V3. All unused sense inputs retain the same high-impedance, low-leakage characteristics (<100 nA) as active inputs, ensuring no impact on measurement accuracy or power consumption.
What is the purpose of the Customer Test Mode in the BQ294707DSGT?
The Customer Test Mode in the BQ294707DSGT reduces the overvoltage delay time to ≤170 ms by grounding the CD pin-enabling rapid functional verification during production testing. This mode bypasses the full 1–2 s delay timer while preserving all other protection functionality, allowing efficient validation of fault response without compromising final application timing behavior.
