Product details
Overview
BQ296202DSGR from Texas Instruments is a high-accuracy, low-power overvoltage protector IC for 2–4 series Li-ion battery packs, featuring factory-programmed 4.45V OVP threshold, 6.5s fixed delay timer, ±10mV OVP accuracy, 3.3V regulated output (2mA max), and 8-pin WSON (2mm × 2mm) package. It monitors individual cell voltages and drives external FETs to blow fuses during overvoltage faults - used in notebook PC battery protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BQ296202DSGR datasheet, BQ296202DSGR pinout, BQ296202DSGR application, or BQ296202DSGR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4.45V/6.5s OVP configuration, 3.3V/2mA regulated supply with self-disable, ultra-low 4µA supply current (REG on), and compatibility with 2–4 cell stacks requiring precise, autonomous secondary protection.
Technical Context
The BQ296202DSGR implements independent per-cell voltage monitoring using precision analog comparators referenced to a factory-trimmed 4.45V threshold, with 300mV hysteresis to prevent chatter. Its internal 6.5-second fixed-delay timer initiates upon first cell OVP detection and triggers CMOS-active-high OUT to control external NMOS fuse-switching FETs.
The device integrates a 3.3V linear regulator delivering up to 2mA, self-disabling when any cell voltage drops below the factory-set 2.5V undervoltage threshold after a 6s delay. Input leakage per Vx pin remains under 100nA, enabling high-impedance sensing without significant stack loading.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| OVP Threshold | 4.45V ±10mV at 25°C - enables precise secondary overvoltage cutoff before cell damage in 4S Li-ion packs. |
| OVP Delay Timer | 6.5s fixed (±20%) - provides deterministic fault response window for controlled fuse blowing without nuisance trips. |
| Regulated Output | 3.3V ±2% at 0–2mA load - powers always-on RTC or supervisor ICs directly from battery stack without external LDO. |
| Supply Current (REG on) | 4µA typical at TA = 0–60°C - minimizes standby drain on multi-cell packs during long-term storage. |
| Input Leakage (per Vx) | <100nA - preserves cell voltage balance and avoids measurement error in high-impedance sensing networks. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +110°C - supports automotive-grade and industrial battery pack environments. |
| Package | 8-pin WSON (2.0mm × 2.0mm, 0.5mm pitch) - enables compact placement adjacent to cell sense points in tight battery modules. |
Pinout & Package
8-pin WSON package (2.00mm × 2.00mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad connected to VSS. Pin 1 marked by dot; top view orientation matches Figure 5-2 in SLUSBU5V.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | Unregulated input tied to top of battery stack (up to 20V); requires RC filter for noise immunity. |
| VSS | Ground reference | IC ground and negative terminal of lowest cell; must be connected first during assembly to avoid REG damage. |
| V1 | Cell 1 sense input | Sense positive terminal of bottommost cell (V1–VSS); requires 1kΩ/0.1µF RC filter. |
| V2 | Cell 2 sense input | Sense positive terminal of second cell (V2–V1); identical filtering as V1. |
| V3 | Cell 3 sense input | Sense positive terminal of third cell (V3–V2); unused pins shorted to adjacent lower Vx in 2S/3S configs. |
| V4 | Cell 4 sense input | Sense positive terminal of topmost cell (V4–V3); required only in 4S configurations. |
| OUT | OVP fault signal output | CMOS active-high output driving gate of external NMOS FET to short fuse to ground during OVP event. |
| REG | Regulated supply output | 3.3V/2mA output for RTC or supervisor; requires 0.47µF ceramic capacitor to VSS for stability and ESD robustness. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed OVP | 4.45V threshold with ±10mV accuracy ensures consistent trip point across production without calibration. |
| Fixed 6.5s OVP delay | Deterministic timing eliminates need for external timing components and reduces BOM count in safety-critical packs. |
| Self-disabling 3.3V regulator | Automatically shuts down when any cell falls below 2.5V, preventing deep discharge and extending pack cycle life. |
| Ultra-low 4µA quiescent current | Enables >10-year shelf life for sealed battery packs without compromising protection responsiveness. |
| Per-pin <100nA input leakage | Maintains cell voltage balance in high-impedance stacks and avoids false OVP/UV detection due to leakage currents. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar overvoltage protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ296203DSGR | Identical 8-pin WSON package and 3.3V REG output, but OVP threshold is 4.50V (not 4.45V) with same 6.5s delay. | Used where tighter upper voltage margin is required before OVP activation, e.g., high-voltage Li-ion chemistries (e.g., NMC 4.45V nominal). | Select BQ296203DSGR if system design targets 4.50V OVP; otherwise BQ296202DSGR matches 4.45V standard cell specification. |
| BQ296231DSGR | Same package and 3.3V REG, but OVP threshold is 4.60V and UV threshold is 2.5V - higher OVP setpoint with identical timing. | Applicable in extended-voltage Li-ion variants (e.g., LiCoO₂ with 4.6V max charge) where standard 4.45V OVP would cause premature cutoff. | Choose BQ296231DSGR only when validated cell chemistry supports 4.60V operation; verify thermal derating at elevated thresholds. |
Compared with BQ296202DSGR, BQ296203DSGR raises OVP by 50mV for tighter margin control, while BQ296231DSGR increases it by 150mV for high-voltage chemistries - both retain identical 3.3V/2mA REG, 6.5s delay, and WSON-8 footprint, enabling drop-in replacement with only threshold validation required.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed overvoltage threshold and delay time for BQ296202DSGR?
The BQ296202DSGR has a factory-programmed overvoltage threshold of 4.45V with ±10mV accuracy at 25°C and a fixed 6.5-second delay timer. This configuration is laser-trimmed during manufacturing and cannot be adjusted externally. The 6.5s delay is guaranteed across –40°C to +110°C with ±20% tolerance, ensuring reliable fault response timing in all operating conditions for BQ296202DSGR.
Does BQ296202DSGR provide a regulated output, and what are its specifications?
Yes, BQ296202DSGR provides a factory-configured 3.3V regulated output (REG pin) capable of delivering up to 2mA. At 500µA load, output voltage is 3.234V–3.366V; from 0–2mA, it remains within 3.200V–3.400V. It includes short-circuit current limiting (4mA) and self-disables when any cell voltage falls below 2.5V after a 6s delay - a core feature of BQ296202DSGR's integrated protection architecture.
How does BQ296202DSGR handle undervoltage conditions, and what is the self-disable behavior?
BQ296202DSGR self-disables its 3.3V REG output when any monitored cell voltage drops below the factory-set 2.5V undervoltage threshold for 6 seconds. Once disabled, REG remains off until all cell voltages exceed 2.5V + 300mV hysteresis. This prevents deep discharge and protects battery health - a critical behavior confirmed in BQ296202DSGR's functional modes and electrical characteristics tables.
What package type and pin configuration does BQ296202DSGR use?
BQ296202DSGR uses an 8-pin WSON package (2.00mm × 2.00mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad connected to VSS. Pinout follows Figure 5-2: Pin 1 = VDD, Pin 2 = V4, Pin 3 = V3, Pin 4 = V2, Pin 5 = V1, Pin 6 = VSS, Pin 7 = OUT, Pin 8 = REG. This layout is optimized for compact placement near cell interconnects in battery modules and is shared across the BQ2962xx family including BQ296202DSGR.
Can BQ296202DSGR be used in 2-series, 3-series, and 4-series battery configurations?
Yes, BQ296202DSGR supports 2S, 3S, and 4S Li-ion configurations. Unused Vx pins (e.g., V4 in 2S) are shorted to the adjacent lower pin (V3 → V2), and the device automatically ignores differential voltages below 0.5V for undervoltage qualification. All electrical specs - including OVP accuracy, leakage, and REG performance - are validated across all supported configurations per BQ296202DSGR's datasheet test conditions.
