Product details
Overview
BQ29703DSET from Texas Instruments is a single-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer battery protection IC that provides overvoltage (4.425 V), undervoltage (2.300 V), charge/discharge overcurrent (–0.100 V / 0.160 V), and short-circuit (0.5 V) detection with factory-programmed thresholds, ±5 mV OCP sensing accuracy, and 4 µA NORMAL-mode quiescent current for mobile handset battery packs.
For engineers reviewing the BQ29703DSET datasheet, BQ29703DSET pinout, BQ29703DSET application, or BQ29703DSET equivalent, this device delivers precise, low-power, integrated cell protection without external microcontroller intervention-critical for space-constrained portable electronics requiring robust fault coverage and zero-voltage charging capability.
Technical Context
The BQ29703DSET implements analog comparator-based fault detection with internal timing logic to trigger gate-drive outputs (COUT/DOUT) upon violation of factory-set voltage or differential-sense thresholds. It uses V–/VSS differential sensing for OCD/OCC/SCP and BAT/VSS for OVP/UVP, enabling accurate FET control without external ADCs or processors.
Its architecture supports autonomous operation: NORMAL mode draws only 4 µA while continuously monitoring; Shutdown mode reduces current to 100 nA. Fault recovery timers (e.g., 8 ms for UVP/OCD) are fixed per configuration, and zero-voltage charging initiates when BAT–V– ≥ 1.7 V-enabling safe recharge of deeply depleted cells.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| OVP Threshold | 4.425 V ±10 mV at 25°C - triggers CHG FET disable to prevent cell damage during charging |
| UVP Threshold | 2.300 V ±50 mV at 25°C - disables DSG FET to avoid irreversible capacity loss from deep discharge |
| OCD Threshold | 0.160 V ±10 mV at 25°C - detects discharge overcurrent across external FET RDS(on) with ±5 mV typical sensing accuracy |
| OCC Threshold | –0.100 V ±10 mV at 25°C - senses reverse current through CHG FET to halt unsafe charging currents |
| Quiescent Current | 4 µA in NORMAL mode - enables multi-year battery shelf life in always-on protection applications |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - supports full functionality across industrial-grade portable device environments |

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

Applications
| Mobile Handset Battery Protection | Tablet PC Pack Monitoring |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ29702DSET | OVP = 4.350 V, UVP = 2.800 V, OCD = 0.160 V, tUVPD = 96 ms - higher UVP threshold and shorter delay than BQ29703DSET | Better suited for high-capacity Li-ion cells requiring tighter undervoltage cutoff to preserve cycle life | Select when battery chemistry demands 2.800 V UVP and faster UVP response (96 ms vs. 20 ms) |
| BQ29704DSET | OVP = 4.425 V, UVP = 2.500 V, OCD = 0.125 V, tUVPD = 20 ms - identical OVP/tUVPD but lower UVP and tighter OCD threshold | Optimized for cost-sensitive mid-tier handsets needing balanced overcharge/overdischarge margins | Choose for designs requiring 2.500 V UVP with same 20 ms delay and reduced OCD trip point (0.125 V) |
Compared with BQ29702DSET and BQ29704DSET, the BQ29703DSET offers the highest OVP (4.425 V) paired with the lowest UVP (2.300 V) in the family-making it ideal for high-voltage-tolerant, deep-discharge-capable single-cell systems where maximum energy extraction and overcharge margin are both prioritized.

FAQ
What protection functions does the BQ29703DSET provide?
The BQ29703DSET provides overcharge protection (OVP at 4.425 V), over-discharge protection (UVP at 2.300 V), charge overcurrent protection (OCC at –0.100 V), discharge overcurrent protection (OCD at 0.160 V), and load short-circuit protection (SCP at 0.5 V). All thresholds are factory-programmed and non-adjustable. The BQ29703DSET executes these protections autonomously using internal comparators and fixed-delay timers without external firmware.
What is the quiescent current of the BQ29703DSET in NORMAL mode?
The BQ29703DSET draws 4 µA typical current in NORMAL mode at TA = 25°C and BAT = 3.8 V, enabling multi-year battery shelf life in always-connected protection circuits. In Shutdown mode, current drops to 100 nA. These values are measured per TI SLUSBU9I datasheet Section 6.5 and confirmed across –40°C to +85°C operating range.
How does the BQ29703DSET support zero-voltage charging?
The BQ29703DSET enables zero-voltage charging when the voltage between BAT and V– reaches ≥1.7 V, allowing safe pre-charge of fully depleted Li-ion cells. Charging is inhibited if BAT–VSS falls below 0.75 V. This function is implemented in hardware and requires no external control-ensuring the BQ29703DSET remains functional even when the battery voltage is near 0 V.
What package type and dimensions does the BQ29703DSET use?
The BQ29703DSET uses a 6-pin WSON package designated DSE, with nominal dimensions of 1.50 mm × 1.50 mm × 0.75 mm. It features wettable flanks for automated optical inspection and complies with JEDEC MO-229 standards. Pin layout matches TI's standardized BQ297xx footprint, enabling drop-in compatibility across the family.
Can the BQ29703DSET be used without a battery charger enabled?
Yes-the BQ29703DSET operates fully autonomously in NORMAL mode (4 µA) or Shutdown mode (100 nA) without requiring an active charger. It continuously monitors BAT–VSS for OVP/UVP and V––VSS for OCD/OCC/SCP, triggering COUT or DOUT gate-drive outputs to disable external FETs on fault detection. No host processor or charger IC is needed for basic protection functionality.
