Product details
Overview
BQ298018RUGR from Texas Instruments is a high-side single-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer battery protector IC with integrated charge-pump NFET drivers, providing overvoltage (4.400 V), undervoltage (2.700 V), overcurrent (–8 mV OCC / 20 mV OCD), short-circuit (60 mV), and overtemperature (85 °C) protection. It supports 1 mΩ sense resistors and enables system reset/shutdown via CTR pin control - deployed in fast-charging smartphones and power banks.
For engineers reviewing the BQ298018RUGR datasheet, BQ298018RUGR pinout, BQ298018RUGR application, or BQ298018RUGR equivalent, key selection considerations include its factory-configured 1.00 s OVP delay, 144 ms UVP delay, CTR-enabled dual-mode OT protection (internal die + optional PTC), and 0V charging capability unique to the BQ2980xx series.
Technical Context
The BQ298018RUGR implements high-side protection using an internal charge pump to drive NFET gates with VGS ≈ VDD × AFETON (1.45–1.81 V/V), reducing FET RDS(on) across cell voltage range. Its ±1 mV current-sense accuracy enables ultra-low-power dissipation with 1 mΩ RSNS.
It features dual-path OT detection: factory-set 85 °C internal die sensing with 4.5 s delay and fixed 15 °C hysteresis, plus configurable CTR pin interface for external PTC-based thermal monitoring using 1.5 MΩ, 5 MΩ, or 8 MΩ internal pull-up - all without requiring host MCU intervention.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the overvoltage protection threshold and delay setting for BQ298018RUGR?
The BQ298018RUGR has a factory-configured overvoltage protection (OVP) threshold of 4.400 V with a fixed 1.00-second detection delay. This setting triggers CHG FET shutdown when battery voltage exceeds 4.400 V for longer than 1 second during charging, preventing cell overcharge and thermal stress. The BQ298018RUGR maintains ±10 mV accuracy at 25 °C and ±25 mV across –40 °C to +85 °C operating range.
Does BQ298018RUGR support 0V charging, and how does it work?
Yes, BQ298018RUGR supports 0V charging as part of the BQ2980xx series. When VBAT > 1.0 V (V0INH), VDD < 2.0 V (VDRIVER_SHUT – VDRIVER_SHUT_HYS), and PACK+ voltage > 2.0 V (V0CHGR), the CHG output is driven to the PACK voltage instead of relying on the internal charge pump - enabling safe recharge of deeply depleted cells. This function is disabled in BQ2982xx variants.
How is the CTR pin used for overtemperature protection in BQ298018RUGR?
In BQ298018RUGR, the CTR pin can be factory-configured with a 1.5 MΩ, 5 MΩ, or 8 MΩ internal pull-up resistor to interface with an external PTC thermistor connected to VSS. As temperature rises, PTC resistance increases, raising CTR voltage above VIH (1.0 V) and turning off both CHG and DSG FETs - adding a second, localized OT protection layer beyond the internal 85 °C die sensor.
What are the key differences between BQ298018RUGR and BQ298015RUGR?
BQ298018RUGR has OVP = 4.400 V and UVP = 2.700 V, while BQ298015RUGR has OVP = 4.440 V and UVP = 2.800 V - both share identical CTR configuration, 85 °C internal OT, 0V charging, and X2QFN-8 package. The higher thresholds in BQ298015RUGR accommodate higher-voltage Li-ion chemistries or aging cells with increased OVP margin requirements.
What is the current consumption of BQ298018RUGR in normal and shutdown modes?
BQ298018RUGR draws 4 µA typical supply current in NORMAL mode (VDD > 4.0 V) and ≤0.1 µA in SHUTDOWN mode (VPACK < VBAT, VDD = 1.5 V). This ultra-low quiescent current minimizes battery self-discharge during storage, supporting >10-year shelf life in low-power portable applications - a critical requirement for consumer power banks and wearables.
