Product details
Overview
BQ29718DSET from Texas Instruments is a single-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer battery protection IC that integrates overvoltage (4.425 V), undervoltage (2.500 V), charge/discharge overcurrent (–0.100 V / 0.100 V), and short-circuit (0.5 V) detection with factory-programmed thresholds and fixed timing delays (1.25 s OVP, 20 ms UVP, 8 ms OCD/OCC, 250 µs SCP). It operates from –40°C to +85°C with 4 µA normal-mode current and supports zero-voltage charging for deeply depleted cells in portable power systems.
For engineers reviewing the BQ29718DSET datasheet, BQ29718DSET pinout, BQ29718DSET application, or BQ29718DSET equivalent, this device delivers precision cell-level fault monitoring across external FETs, low-quiescent-power operation in battery-powered handhelds, and factory-configured protection parameters eliminating external component tuning.
Technical Context
The BQ29718DSET implements analog voltage sensing at BAT–VSS (OVP/UVP), V––VSS (OCD/SCP), and VSS–V– (OCC) with ±10 mV accuracy at 25°C and ±15 mV over full temperature range. Its internal oscillator drives fixed-duration fault timers-1.25 s for overcharge, 20 ms for undervoltage, and 8 ms for overcurrent events-with 12 ms and 8 ms recovery delays respectively.
It uses dual gate-drive outputs (COUT for CHG FET, DOUT for DSG FET) referenced to BAT and VSS, enabling direct NMOS control without level shifters. The V– pin serves as a bidirectional sense node for both charge- and discharge-current monitoring via differential measurement against VSS, supporting ±0.100 V OCD and –0.100 V OCC thresholds with ±5 mV typical sensing accuracy.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| OVP Threshold | 4.425 V ±10 mV at 25°C - triggers CHG FET disable after 1.25 s delay when cell voltage exceeds safe charging limit |
| UVP Threshold | 2.500 V ±50 mV at 25°C - disables DSG FET after 20 ms delay to prevent deep discharge damage |
| OCD Threshold | 0.100 V ±10 mV at 25°C - detects discharge overcurrent by sensing V––VSS voltage drop across external FET RDS(on) |
| OCC Threshold | –0.100 V ±10 mV at 25°C - detects charge overcurrent by sensing VSS–V– voltage polarity reversal during charging |
| SCP Threshold | 0.5 V ±100 mV at 25°C - triggers immediate DSG FET shutdown within 250 µs for load short-circuit protection |
| IQ (NORMAL) | 4 µA at 3.8 V - enables multi-year battery shelf life in always-connected portable devices |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - supports reliable operation in consumer handhelds exposed to ambient thermal cycling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ29717DSET | OVP=4.425 V, UVP=2.500 V, OCD=0.130 V - higher discharge overcurrent threshold reduces false trips under pulsed loads | Better suited for high-pulse-current devices like motorized tools where 0.100 V OCD may trigger prematurely | Select BQ29717DSET if system peak discharge current causes marginal V––VSS excursions near 0.100 V |
| BQ29723DSET | OVP=4.425 V, UVP=2.500 V, OCD=0.100 V, OCC=–0.060 V - tighter charge overcurrent sensitivity improves safety margin during fast charging | Preferred for USB PD 3.0 chargers delivering >2 A where –0.100 V OCC may allow excessive charge current | Choose BQ29723DSET when charger compliance requires <–0.080 V OCC detection for UL 2054 Class 1 certification |
Compared with BQ29718DSET, BQ29717DSET raises OCD threshold to 0.130 V for robustness against transient load noise, while BQ29723DSET tightens OCC to –0.060 V for stricter fast-charge current limiting-both retain identical 1.25 s OVP delay and 250 µs SCP response.

FAQ
What protection functions does the BQ29718DSET provide?
The BQ29718DSET provides overcharge protection (OVP at 4.425 V), over-discharge protection (UVP at 2.500 V), charge overcurrent protection (OCC at –0.100 V), discharge overcurrent protection (OCD at 0.100 V), and load short-circuit protection (SCP at 0.5 V). All thresholds are factory-programmed and temperature-compensated, with fixed delay timers (1.25 s OVP, 20 ms UVP, 8 ms OCD/OCC, 250 µs SCP) implemented in the BQ29718DSET die.
How does the BQ29718DSET support zero-voltage charging?
The BQ29718DSET enables zero-voltage charging when the voltage between BAT and V– reaches ≥1.7 V, allowing safe reactivation of deeply depleted cells. This function is intrinsic to the BQ29718DSET architecture and requires no external configuration-once triggered, the BQ29718DSET permits CHG FET activation to initiate trickle charging before full-rate charging resumes.
What is the package type and pin configuration of the BQ29718DSET?
The BQ29718DSET uses a 6-pin WSON (DSE) package measuring 1.50 mm × 1.50 mm × 0.75 mm with wettable flanks. Pin 1 is NC, Pin 2 is COUT, Pin 3 is DOUT, Pin 4 is VSS, Pin 5 is BAT, and Pin 6 is V–. This layout is standardized across the BQ297xx family and documented in Figure 5-1 of the BQ29718DSET datasheet.
Can the BQ29718DSET be used without a battery charger present?
Yes, the BQ29718DSET operates in NORMAL mode (4 µA IQ) or Shutdown mode (100 nA IQ) without charger presence. It continuously monitors BAT–VSS for OVP/UVP and V––VSS/VSS–V– for OCD/OCC/SCP regardless of charger state-making the BQ29718DSET suitable for standalone battery pack protection in devices with intermittent charging cycles.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for the BQ29718DSET?
The BQ29718DSET has an absolute maximum BAT input voltage of 12 V, V– pin range of BAT – 28 V to BAT + 0.3 V, DOUT/COUT output voltage range of VSS – 0.3 V to BAT + 0.3 V, and operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. Exceeding these limits may cause permanent damage, per Section 6.1 of the BQ29718DSET datasheet.
