Product details
Overview
BQ296222DSGR from Texas Instruments is a high-accuracy, low-power overvoltage protector IC for 2–4 series Li-ion battery packs, featuring factory-programmed 4.50 V OVP threshold, 6.5 s fixed delay timer, 3.0 V regulated output (±1.5% accuracy), ±10 mV OVP detection accuracy, and <100 nA per-cell input leakage. It serves as second-level protection in notebook PC battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the BQ296222DSGR datasheet, BQ296222DSGR pinout, BQ296222DSGR application, or BQ296222DSGR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed operating conditions (–40°C to +110°C), real-world timing behavior (OV fault response with 6.5 s delay), and precise regulator performance (3.0 V @ 2 mA, self-disable at cell UV <3.0 V).
Technical Context
The BQ296222DSGR independently monitors each cell voltage (V1–VSS to V4–V3) against a factory-trimmed 4.50 V overvoltage threshold with ±10 mV accuracy and 300 mV hysteresis. Upon detection, it initiates a fixed 6.5 s internal delay before asserting the CMOS-active-high OUT signal to trigger external FET-based fuse blow circuitry.
Its integrated 3.0 V regulated supply delivers up to 2 mA with ±1.5% load regulation (0–2 mA), self-disables when any cell drops below 3.0 V (with 6 s UV delay and 300 mV hysteresis), and draws only 1.2 µA quiescent current when disabled - enabling always-on RTC support without battery drain.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| OVP Threshold | 4.50 V ±10 mV - factory-programmed precision reference for cell overvoltage detection |
| OVP Delay Timer | 6.5 s ±20% - fixed internal delay before OUT assertion prevents false trips during transient spikes |
| Regulated Output | 3.0 V ±1.5% @ 0–2 mA - powers RTC or low-power logic without external LDO |
| UV Self-Disable Threshold | 3.0 V ±50 mV - disables REG output when any cell falls below safe discharge level |
| Supply Current (REG on) | 4–8 µA - ultra-low ICC enables multi-year battery pack shelf life |
| Per-Cell Input Leakage | <100 nA - minimizes imbalance drift in stacked Li-ion configurations |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +110°C - supports industrial and medical battery pack environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin WSON (2.00 mm × 2.00 mm), thermally enhanced with exposed pad connected to VSS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | Unregulated input (3–20 V); powers internal circuitry and REG LDO |
| VSS | Ground reference | IC ground and negative terminal of lowest cell; must be connected first during assembly |
| V1 | Cell voltage sense | Sense input for bottom cell (V1–VSS); requires RC filter for noise immunity |
| V2 | Cell voltage sense | Sense input for second cell (V2–V1); supports 2–4 series stack monitoring |
| V3 | Cell voltage sense | Sense input for third cell (V3–V2); unused pins shorted to adjacent Vx in lower-series configs |
| V4 | Cell voltage sense | Sense input for top cell (V4–V3); enables full 4-series protection coverage |
| OUT | Fault signal output | CMOS active-high output; drives NMOS gate to blow fuse during OVP event |
| REG | Regulated supply output | 3.0 V output (max 2 mA); self-disables if any cell <3.0 V; requires 0.47 µF ceramic cap |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ296221DSGR | Same 8-pin WSON package; identical 4.55 V OVP threshold and 6.5 s delay but 3.3 V REG output | Requires redesign of downstream 3.0 V logic to tolerate 3.3 V supply; no change to OVP timing or cell sensing | Select when existing RTC or supervisor IC requires 3.3 V bias instead of 3.0 V |
| BQ296230DSGR | Same package and 3.0 V REG; differs in OVP threshold (4.35 V) and UV threshold (3.0 V), same 6.5 s delay | Triggers earlier on cell overvoltage (4.35 V vs. 4.50 V), better suited for conservative chemistries like LFP or aged NMC | Select for battery packs using lower-voltage Li-ion variants or requiring tighter OVP margin |
Compared with BQ296222DSGR, BQ296221DSGR offers higher regulated output voltage (3.3 V) but identical timing and sensing architecture, while BQ296230DSGR lowers the OVP threshold to 4.35 V for enhanced safety margin - both retain the same 3.0 V UV self-disable and 8-pin WSON footprint.

FAQ
What is the exact overvoltage protection threshold programmed into BQ296222DSGR?
The BQ296222DSGR has a factory-programmed overvoltage protection threshold of 4.50 V with ±10 mV accuracy at 25°C and ±54 mV accuracy across –40°C to +110°C. This value is laser-trimmed during manufacturing and cannot be adjusted externally - it directly determines the cell voltage at which the 6.5 s delay timer initiates.
How does the regulated 3.0 V output of BQ296222DSGR behave under load and fault conditions?
The BQ296222DSGR delivers 3.0 V ±1.5% from 0 to 2 mA load current, with short-circuit current limiting at 4 mA. It self-disables when any monitored cell voltage falls below 3.0 V (±50 mV), re-enabling only after all cells exceed 3.0 V + 300 mV hysteresis. The REG pin requires a 0.47 µF ceramic capacitor to VSS for stability.
Can BQ296222DSGR be used in a 2-cell battery configuration?
Yes - BQ296222DSGR supports 2-, 3-, and 4-series Li-ion stacks. For 2-cell use, connect V1 to bottom cell positive, V2 to top cell positive, VSS to bottom cell negative, and short V3 and V4 to V2. The device automatically ignores unconnected sense inputs above the active stack height and maintains full ±10 mV OVP accuracy on monitored cells.
What is the purpose of the PWPD pin on BQ296222DSGR, and how should it be handled?
The PWPD pin on BQ296222DSGR is the exposed thermal pad, designated as Pin 9 in functional descriptions. TI specifies it must be electrically connected to VSS on the PCB for thermal dissipation and ESD robustness. No external circuitry or voltage is applied to PWPD - it is not an active signal pin but a mechanical/thermal interface critical for reliability and 110°C operation.
Does BQ296222DSGR provide undervoltage protection for the entire battery pack?
No - BQ296222DSGR implements per-cell undervoltage detection solely to control its own 3.0 V REG output. It disables REG when any single cell drops below 3.0 V (with 6 s delay and 300 mV hysteresis) to prevent deep discharge, but it does not assert the OUT pin or trigger fuse blow for undervoltage events. Primary pack-level UV protection must be implemented separately in the BMS.
