Product details
Overview
BQ29704DSET from Texas Instruments is a single-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer battery protection IC that provides overvoltage (4.425 V), undervoltage (2.500 V), charge/discharge overcurrent (–0.100 V / 0.125 V), and short-circuit (0.5 V) detection with factory-programmed thresholds, 8 µA typical operating current in NORMAL mode, and 6-pin WSON (1.50 mm × 1.50 mm) package for space-constrained portable power systems.
For engineers reviewing the BQ29704DSET datasheet, BQ29704DSET pinout, BQ29704DSET application, or BQ29704DSET equivalent, this page delivers verified functional specifications, validated pin roles, confirmed protection timing behavior, real-world use cases in handheld devices, and two technically documented alternative parts with explicit threshold and timing differences.
Technical Context
The BQ29704DSET implements analog voltage sensing across external FETs to detect overcurrent conditions with ±10 mV accuracy at 25°C, uses internal comparators with fixed hysteresis (100 mV for OVP/UVP) and programmable delay timers (20 ms UVP delay, 8 ms OCD/OCC delay, 250 µs SCD delay), and operates from –40°C to +85°C with BAT supply range of 1.5 V to 8 V.
It supports zero-voltage charging initiation at ≥1.7 V battery voltage and inhibition below 0.75 V, features dual gate-drive outputs (COUT for CHG FET, DOUT for DSG FET) referenced to BAT and VSS respectively, and maintains <100 nA shutdown current while retaining fault-state memory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| OVP Threshold | 4.425 V ±10 mV @ 25°C - triggers CHG FET disable after 1.25 s delay if cell voltage exceeds safe charging limit |
| UVP Threshold | 2.500 V ±50 mV @ 25°C - disables DSG FET after 20 ms delay to prevent deep discharge damage |
| OCD Threshold | 0.125 V ±10 mV @ 25°C - detects discharge overcurrent via V––VSS differential, enabling fast DSG FET shutdown |
| OCC Threshold | –0.100 V ±10 mV @ 25°C - senses charge overcurrent using VSS–V– polarity, initiating COUT low after 8 ms |
| SCD Threshold | 0.5 V ±100 mV @ 25°C - identifies load short-circuit within 250 µs, forcing immediate DOUT low assertion |
| Operating Current | 4 µA typical @ 3.8 V BAT - enables multi-year battery runtime in always-on protection mode |
| Package | 6-pin WSON (DSE), 1.50 mm × 1.50 mm × 0.75 mm - surface-mount footprint compatible with automated PCB assembly |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin WSON (DSE), body size 1.50 mm × 1.50 mm, 0.75 mm height, wettable flank terminals for optical solder inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| NC (Pin 1) | No Connection | Electrically open; must be left unconnected or tied to ground per layout guidelines |
| COUT (Pin 2) | Charge FET Gate Drive Output | Drives CHG FET gate high during normal operation; pulls low to disable charging on OCC/SCP/OVP faults |
| DOUT (Pin 3) | Discharge FET Gate Drive Output | Drives DSG FET gate high during normal operation; pulls low to disable discharging on UVP/OCD/SCP faults |
| VSS (Pin 4) | Ground Reference | Primary ground reference for internal comparators, overcurrent sensing, and logic circuits |
| BAT (Pin 5) | Battery Positive Supply Input | Power input from battery pack anode; supplies internal circuitry and drives COUT/DOUT high-side outputs |
| V– (Pin 6) | Negative Sense Input | Differential input for OCD, OCC, and SCD detection; connected to pack– via 2.2 kΩ resistor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed protection thresholds | Fixed OVP=4.425 V, UVP=2.500 V, OCD=0.125 V, OCC=–0.100 V, SCD=0.5 V - eliminates external resistor networks and calibration effort |
| Dual independent FET drive outputs | COUT and DOUT provide dedicated NMOS gate control with BAT-referenced high drive - enables separate charge/discharge path management |
| Zero-voltage charging support | Enables safe recharge initiation at battery voltages ≥1.7 V and blocks charging below 0.75 V - prevents lithium plating on deeply depleted cells |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 4 µA NORMAL mode / 100 nA shutdown - extends shelf life and standby runtime without compromising protection responsiveness |
| Integrated short-circuit protection | 250 µs detection-to-action latency with 0.5 V threshold - mitigates thermal runaway risk during direct load shorts |

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 (vs. 4.425 V), UVP = 2.800 V (vs. 2.500 V), OCD = 0.160 V (vs. 0.125 V), tUVPD = 96 ms (vs. 20 ms) | Better suited for higher-capacity cells requiring deeper discharge tolerance and slower UVP response to avoid nuisance trips | Select BQ29702DSET when system requires higher UVP threshold and longer delay to accommodate voltage recovery after high-current discharge |
| BQ29703DSET | OVP = 4.425 V (same), UVP = 2.300 V (lower), OCD = 0.160 V (higher), tUVPD = 20 ms (same), tOCCD = 8 ms (same) | Optimized for ultra-low-voltage cutoff in energy-harvesting or backup battery applications where minimum operating voltage is critical | Choose BQ29703DSET only if application mandates 2.300 V UVP and can tolerate reduced discharge overcurrent sensitivity |
Compared with BQ29704DSET, BQ29702DSET offers higher UVP and slower response for robustness in high-drift cells, while BQ29703DSET lowers UVP for extended runtime at cost of reduced margin against cell damage - both require PCB-level validation due to differing threshold sensitivities.

FAQ
What is the overcharge protection voltage threshold for BQ29704DSET?
The BQ29704DSET has a factory-programmed overcharge detection voltage (VOVP) of 4.425 V with ±10 mV accuracy at 25°C. This threshold triggers the COUT output to go low after a fixed 1.25-second delay, disabling the charge FET to prevent cell damage. The value is laser-trimmed during manufacturing and cannot be adjusted in-circuit.
How does BQ29704DSET handle a completely depleted battery?
The BQ29704DSET supports zero-voltage charging: it allows charging to begin when the battery voltage reaches ≥1.7 V (V0CHG), and inhibits charging below 0.75 V (V0INH). This prevents lithium plating on deeply discharged cells while ensuring safe reactivation - a feature implemented entirely in hardware without MCU intervention.
What are the key timing parameters for fault response in BQ29704DSET?
BQ29704DSET uses fixed factory-programmed delays: 1.25 s for overcharge detection (tOVPD), 20 ms for over-discharge (tUVPD), 8 ms for charge/discharge overcurrent (tOCCD/tOCDD), and 250 µs for short-circuit (tSCCD). All recovery delays are also fixed: 12 ms for OVP, 8 ms for UVP/OCC/OCD, and 1 V release condition for SCD.
Can BQ29704DSET be used with external sense resistors for overcurrent detection?
No - the BQ29704DSET is designed exclusively for VDS-based overcurrent sensing across external FETs. Its V– pin measures the voltage drop between pack– and the FET source, eliminating the need for a separate sense resistor. Adding an external resistor would disrupt the calibrated 0.125 V OCD threshold and invalidate protection accuracy.
What is the operating temperature range and thermal performance of BQ29704DSET?
The BQ29704DSET operates from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. Its WSON package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 190.5°C/W under standard JEDEC conditions. At 85°C ambient and 4 µA supply current, self-heating remains negligible (<0.8°C), ensuring stable threshold accuracy across the full range.
