Product details
Overview
BQ296226DSGT from Texas Instruments is a high-accuracy, low-power overvoltage protector IC for 2–4 series Li-ion battery packs, featuring factory-programmed 4.50V OVP threshold, 6.5s fixed delay timer, ±10mV OVP accuracy, 3.3V regulated output (2mA max), and 2.8V undervoltage self-disable threshold - used to safeguard notebook PC and medical battery packs against cell overvoltage.
For engineers reviewing the BQ296226DSGT datasheet, BQ296226DSGT pinout, BQ296226DSGT application, or BQ296226DSGT equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed application use cases, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The BQ296226DSGT independently monitors each cell voltage in 2–4 series stacks using precision analog comparators referenced to a factory-trimmed 4.50V overvoltage threshold (±10mV at 25°C, ±54mV over –40°C to +110°C) and initiates a fixed 6.5s internal delay before asserting the active-high OUT signal. Its regulated 3.3V supply delivers up to 2mA while self-disabling when any cell drops below 2.8V, preventing battery drain during deep discharge.
It operates across –40°C to +110°C ambient temperature with supply current as low as 1.2µA when REG is disabled and 4µA when enabled, and supports Customer Test Mode (CTM) for accelerated OV delay verification via VDD–V4 ≥10V differential - all implemented in an 8-pin WSON (2mm × 2mm) package with integrated thermal management (RθJA = 62°C/W).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| OVP Threshold | 4.50V ±10mV at 25°C - ensures precise cell-level overvoltage cutoff without premature tripping in high-accuracy battery protection systems. |
| OVP Delay Timer | 6.5s fixed (min 5.2s, max 7.8s) - provides reliable fault confirmation window before triggering FET drive, reducing false positives from transient spikes. |
| Regulated Output | 3.3V ±30mV at 2mA load - powers always-on RTC or monitoring circuits directly from battery stack without external LDO. |
| Supply Current | 4µA (REG on), 1.2µA (REG off) - enables multi-year operation in backup power applications with minimal quiescent drain. |
| Cell Input Leakage | <100nA per Vx pin - preserves cell balance and extends pack runtime by minimizing parasitic discharge paths. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +110°C - supports deployment in demanding environments including medical devices and industrial UPS systems. |
| UV Self-Disable | 2.8V ±50mV with 6s delay - automatically shuts down REG output during deep discharge to prevent irreversible cell damage. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin WSON (2.00mm × 2.00mm), thermally enhanced with exposed pad connected to VSS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | Unregulated input tied to top of battery stack (max 30V); requires RC filter for noise immunity and ESD protection. |
| VSS | Ground reference | IC ground and negative terminal of lowest cell; must be connected first during assembly to avoid REG pin damage. |
| V1–V4 | Cell voltage sense inputs | Differential inputs monitoring (V1–VSS), (V2–V1), (V3–V2), (V4–V3); each requires 1kΩ/0.1µF RC filter for stable measurement. |
| OUT | Active-high fault signal | CMOS output driving NMOS FET gate to short fuse to ground upon OVP detection after 6.5s delay. |
| REG | Regulated supply output | 3.3V output (2mA max) for RTC or monitoring ICs; requires 0.47µF ceramic capacitor near pin for stability and ESD robustness. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed OVP | 4.50V threshold with ±10mV accuracy at 25°C enables drop-in replacement in existing 4.5V-critical battery designs without recalibration. |
| Fixed 6.5s OVP delay | Guaranteed 5.2–7.8s window eliminates need for external timing components and ensures consistent fault response across temperature. |
| Self-disabling 3.3V REG | Automatically disables when any cell falls below 2.8V, preventing battery over-discharge and extending cycle life in medical and UPS applications. |
| Ultra-low ICC | 1.2µA quiescent current with REG off allows >10-year shelf life in backup systems where standby power budget is sub-2µA. |
| Customer Test Mode (CTM) | Enables <15ms OVP delay verification during production test using VDD–V4 ≥10V, cutting test time vs. full 6.5s timeout validation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar overvoltage protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ296223DSGT | Same 4.50V OVP, 6.5s delay, 3.3V REG, but 2.5V UV self-disable threshold instead of 2.8V. | Suitable for packs where deeper discharge is acceptable before REG disable; less aggressive low-voltage protection. | Select when battery chemistry tolerates lower minimum cell voltage before regulator shutdown. |
| BQ296231DSGT | 4.60V OVP threshold (vs. 4.50V), same 6.5s delay and 3.3V REG, 2.5V UV threshold. | Used in higher-voltage Li-ion variants (e.g., LiCoO₂ with 4.6V max); not suitable for 4.5V-limited chemistries. | Choose only if system requires tighter margin above standard 4.5V charge termination voltage. |
Compared with BQ296226DSGT, BQ296223DSGT offers earlier REG disable (at 2.5V), while BQ296231DSGT raises OVP to 4.60V - making BQ296226DSGT the optimal choice for balanced 4.50V/2.8V protection in mainstream notebook and medical applications.

FAQ
What is the exact overvoltage protection threshold and accuracy of BQ296226DSGT?
The BQ296226DSGT has a factory-programmed overvoltage protection threshold of 4.50V with ±10mV accuracy at 25°C, and ±54mV accuracy across the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +110°C. This tight tolerance ensures reliable cell-level protection without false triggering during normal charge termination or transient events, and is verified per TI's SLUSBU5V datasheet Section 6.5.
Does BQ296226DSGT support 2-cell, 3-cell, and 4-cell Li-ion configurations?
Yes, BQ296226DSGT supports 2-series, 3-series, and 4-series Li-ion battery stacks via its four independent cell sense inputs (V1–V4). Unused inputs are shorted to adjacent pins (e.g., V4 to V3 for 3-cell), and the device automatically ignores voltages below 0.5V during undervoltage detection - enabling flexible deployment across multiple pack architectures without hardware changes.
What is the function and specification of the REG pin on BQ296226DSGT?
The REG pin on BQ296226DSGT delivers a factory-programmed 3.3V regulated output capable of sourcing up to 2mA, with ±30mV regulation over load (0–2mA) and temperature. It features self-disable when any cell voltage falls below 2.8V and requires a 0.47µF ceramic capacitor to VSS for stability - powering RTCs or low-power microcontrollers directly from the battery stack.
How does the 6.5-second overvoltage delay timer work in BQ296226DSGT?
The BQ296226DSGT uses an internal fixed-delay timer that starts upon detection of any cell exceeding 4.50V and expires after 6.5 seconds (5.2–7.8s min/max), after which the active-high OUT pin drives high to trigger an external NMOS FET. This delay is factory-trimmed and does not require external components, ensuring consistent fault confirmation across temperature and process variation.
What package type and thermal characteristics does BQ296226DSGT use?
BQ296226DSGT uses an 8-pin WSON package measuring 2.00mm × 2.00mm with an exposed thermal pad. Its thermal resistance is RθJA = 62°C/W, RθJB = 32.5°C/W, and RθJC(bot) = 10°C/W - enabling reliable operation up to +110°C ambient in space-constrained battery pack designs when mounted on standard 2-layer PCBs with adequate copper pour.
