Product details
Overview
BQ3055DBTR from Texas Instruments is a fully integrated, single-chip battery pack manager and CEDV gas gauge IC for 2-, 3-, and 4-series Li-ion/Li-polymer battery packs. It provides hardware-based overcurrent/short-circuit protection, software-configurable voltage/current/temperature safety thresholds, integrated cell balancing, dual thermistor inputs (TS1/TS2), and SMBus v1.1 host interface - deployed in notebook PC battery packs requiring precise state-of-charge reporting and multi-level safety.
For engineers reviewing the BQ3055DBTR datasheet, BQ3055DBTR pinout, BQ3055DBTR application, or BQ3055DBTR equivalent, this page delivers verified functional roles, validated protection thresholds, confirmed TSSOP-30 package mapping, real-world use-case implementation context, and two technically documented alternative parts with explicit parameter and application differences.
Technical Context
The BQ3055DBTR implements a dual-oscillator architecture: a 4.194-MHz high-frequency oscillator for CPU timing and a 32.768-kHz low-frequency oscillator for RTC and low-power monitoring. Its analog front end includes a 16-bit coulomb counter (±0.25 mV offset, 15-bit effective resolution) and four 16-bit cell voltage inputs (VC1–VC4) supporting up to 4-series stacks with internal balancing FETs (RDS(ON) = 60–430 Ω).
Protection logic combines hardware-triggered discharge overcurrent (OCD, SCD1/SCD2) and charge short-circuit (SCC) detection with programmable thresholds (e.g., OCD trip range: 25–200 mV), plus software-managed 1st/2nd-level safety layers. SHA-1 authentication secures battery identity via dedicated SMBus commands and secure memory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | VCC = 3.8 V to 25 V - supports full operation across 2S to 4S Li-ion packs (7.2 V to 16.8 V nominal) plus headroom for transient surges. |
| Coulomb Counter Resolution | 16-bit no-missing-codes, 15-bit effective signed resolution - enables sub-1% capacity estimation accuracy under dynamic load profiles. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the BQ3055DBTR in a battery pack?
The BQ3055DBTR serves as a fully integrated battery pack manager and CEDV gas gauge IC. It performs real-time cell voltage monitoring (VC1–VC4), coulomb counting (SRP/SRN), temperature sensing (TS1/TS2), hardware/software protection, cell balancing, and SMBus communication. In the BQ3055DBTR, these functions are consolidated into a single TSSOP-30 device to eliminate discrete protection ICs and external microcontrollers in 2–4S Li-ion packs.
Does the BQ3055DBTR support hardware-based short-circuit protection during charging?
Yes, the BQ3055DBTR includes dedicated hardware-based short-circuit protection for charging (SCC) with a programmable detection threshold ranging from –50 mV to –300 mV (depending on RSNS setting) and configurable delay steps down to 61 ms. This feature operates independently of firmware and triggers immediate FET shutdown, making it suitable for compliance with IEC 62133 safety standards in the BQ3055DBTR design.
What are the key low-power modes supported by the BQ3055DBTR?
The BQ3055DBTR supports three defined low-power states: Normal mode (ICC ≈ 160 µA), Sleep mode (<76 µA), and Shutdown mode (3.7 µA). Sleep mode retains RAM and real-time clock operation while disabling the CPU and analog peripherals; Shutdown mode preserves only critical registers and requires SMBus wake or PRES assertion to resume. These modes are explicitly characterized across –40°C to +85°C in the BQ3055DBTR datasheet.
Can the BQ3055DBTR perform cell balancing without external components?
Yes, the BQ3055DBTR integrates four independent N-channel balancing FETs connected to VC1–VC4 pins. Each FET supports programmable on-time and has RDS(ON) of 60–430 Ω depending on VDS, enabling passive cell balancing without external MOSFETs or resistors. This capability is confirmed in the BQ3055DBTR datasheet Section 6.16 and Functional Block Diagram.
Is SHA-1 authentication implemented in hardware within the BQ3055DBTR?
Yes, the BQ3055DBTR contains a dedicated hardware SHA-1 engine and secure memory block for cryptographic key storage and challenge-response authentication. This allows OEMs to verify genuine battery packs at system boot or during SMBus communication - a feature explicitly documented in the BQ3055DBTR Features list and Section 8.3 of the datasheet.
