Product details
Overview
BQ296228DSGR from Texas Instruments is a high-accuracy, low-power overvoltage protector IC for 2–4 series Li-ion battery packs, featuring factory-programmed 4.55V OVP threshold, 6.5s fixed delay timer, ±10mV OVP accuracy, 3.0V regulated output (2mA max), and <100nA per-cell input leakage. It serves as second-level protection in notebook PC battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the BQ296228DSGR datasheet, BQ296228DSGR pinout, BQ296228DSGR application, or BQ296228DSGR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world implementation constraints, validated alternative options, and supply-chain support details specific to the BQ296228DSGR variant.
Technical Context
The BQ296228DSGR independently monitors each cell voltage (V1–V4) against a factory-trimmed 4.55V overvoltage threshold with 300mV hysteresis and ±10mV accuracy at 25°C. Upon detection, it initiates a precise 6.5s internal delay before asserting the active-high OUT signal to trigger external FET-based fuse blow.
Its 3.0V regulated output (REG) delivers up to 2mA with self-disable logic: REG shuts down if any cell falls below the factory-set 2.5V undervoltage threshold for 6s, preventing battery drain. Supply current is 4µA (REG on) or 1.2µA (REG off) under normal operation.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar overvoltage protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ296223DSGR | Same 4.55V OVP, 6.5s delay, but 3.3V REG output instead of 3.0V | Requires redesign of downstream 3.0V circuitry; suitable when higher REG voltage improves RTC stability | Select if system load tolerates 3.3V and benefits from tighter REG tolerance (±2% vs. ±3% at 2mA) |
| BQ296231DSGR | 4.60V OVP threshold (50mV higher), identical 6.5s delay and 3.0V REG | Allows higher charge termination voltage; increases risk of premature OVP trip in aging cells with voltage spread | Choose for newer, well-matched cell stacks where 4.60V reflects updated chemistry limits |
Compared with BQ296228DSGR, BQ296223DSGR shifts regulated output to 3.3V-requiring voltage translation for 3.0V loads-while BQ296231DSGR raises OVP to 4.60V, trading tighter cell utilization for reduced margin against overcharge-induced degradation.

FAQ
What is the exact overvoltage protection threshold and accuracy of the BQ296228DSGR?
The BQ296228DSGR has a factory-programmed overvoltage protection threshold of 4.55V with ±10mV accuracy at 25°C and ±54mV accuracy across –40°C to +110°C. This precision eliminates need for external calibration and ensures consistent cell voltage clamping in demanding thermal environments.
How does the BQ296228DSGR regulate its 3.0V output and what is its maximum load capability?
The BQ296228DSGR delivers a regulated 3.0V output (±30mV at 2mA) capable of sourcing up to 2mA continuously. It incorporates short-circuit current limiting (4mA typical) and automatically disables the REG output if any monitored cell voltage falls below 2.5V for 6 seconds-preventing battery drain during deep discharge.
What is the function of the OUT pin on the BQ296228DSGR and how is it driven?
The OUT pin on the BQ296228DSGR is a CMOS active-high output that transitions to logic high after a precise 6.5s delay upon detection of any cell exceeding 4.55V. It directly drives the gate of an external NMOS FET to short the fuse to ground, enabling battery or charger current to blow the fuse and interrupt the power path.
Does the BQ296228DSGR support 2-cell, 3-cell, and 4-cell battery configurations-and how are unused pins handled?
Yes, the BQ296228DSGR supports 2-, 3-, and 4-series Li-ion configurations. Unused Vx pins (e.g., V4 in a 2-cell pack) must be shorted to the adjacent lower pin (V3 → V2 → V1 → VSS) to maintain proper biasing and avoid floating inputs that could cause erroneous OVP detection or increased leakage.
What are the absolute maximum ratings and recommended operating conditions for the BQ296228DSGR?
The BQ296228DSGR has absolute maximum ratings of –0.3V to 30V on VDD–VSS and –0.3V to 3.6V on REG–VSS. Recommended operating conditions specify VDD = 3–20V, cell differential voltage = 0–5V, and ambient temperature = –40°C to +110°C-enabling robust deployment in industrial and automotive battery systems.
