Product details
Overview
BQ7693000DBT from Texas Instruments is a 6- to 10-series Li-ion and LiFePO₄ battery monitor AFE with integrated cell balancing FETs, low-side charge/discharge FET drivers, and dual thermistor support. It delivers ±15 mV cell voltage accuracy (25°C), 14-bit ADC resolution, and hardware-based overvoltage/undervoltage/overcurrent protection for 36-V nominal battery packs in power tools and e-scooters.
For engineers reviewing the BQ7693000DBT datasheet, BQ7693000DBT pinout, BQ7693000DBT application, or BQ7693000DBT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30-pin TSSOP package, I²C interface with CRC option, 2.5-V LDO output, 5 mA per-cell balancing current, and support for up to three thermistors with dedicated VC5X/TS2 pins.
Technical Context
The BQ7693000DBT implements a multi-rail sensing architecture with segmented voltage domains (BAT–VC5X, VC5X–VSS) enabling safe monitoring of up to 10-series cells at ≤36 V total pack voltage. Its dual ADC subsystem independently measures cell voltages (14-bit, ±15 mV @ 25°C), die temperature, external thermistors, and pack current via coulomb counting (16-bit, ±200 mV input range).
Hardware protection logic executes autonomous OV/UV/OCD/SCD responses using programmable thresholds and delay timers - including 1/2/4/8 s OV delays and 35–520 µs SCD response windows - without host intervention. The device supports SHIP mode with 0.6–1.8 µA quiescent current and random cell connection tolerance for flexible PCB layout.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ7694000DBT | Supports 9–15 series cells (48-V nominal); larger 44-pin TSSOP; higher cell count but same 5 mA balancing current | Required for ≥48-V packs (e.g., high-power e-bikes); not drop-in for 36-V designs due to pin count and domain mapping | Select BQ7694000DBT only when scaling to 12–15S configurations; verify VC10X/TS3 routing and thermal design. |
| MAX17853 | 14-bit ADC; 100 µA typical supply current; supports 14S; no integrated balancing FETs; requires external drivers | Used in automotive-grade modules where ASIL-B compliance and daisy-chain capability are mandatory | Choose MAX17853 for ISO 26262-compliant systems; accept added BOM cost for external balancing and isolation. |
Compared with BQ7693000DBT, BQ7694000DBT extends cell count but increases footprint and complexity, while MAX17853 trades integrated features for functional safety certification - making BQ7693000DBT optimal for cost-sensitive, high-volume 6–10S industrial packs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported battery pack voltage for the BQ7693000DBT?
The BQ7693000DBT supports up to 36-V nominal battery packs (6–10 series Li-ion or LiFePO₄ cells). Its absolute maximum BAT-to-VSS rating is 36 V, and it tolerates transient overvoltages up to 108 V - ensuring robustness against load-dump events in power tool and e-scooter applications. This rating is confirmed in Section 7.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings of the official datasheet.
Does the BQ7693000DBT include built-in cell balancing circuitry?
Yes, the BQ7693000DBT integrates dedicated cell balancing FETs capable of delivering 5 mA per cell. These internal switches eliminate the need for external balancing MOSFETs and associated gate drivers, reducing bill-of-materials cost and PCB area. Balancing is controlled entirely by the device's register map and can be enabled per cell; this functionality is documented in Section 1 Features and Section 8.3 Feature Description of the BQ7693000DBT datasheet.
Can the BQ7693000DBT monitor more than one temperature sensor?
Yes, the BQ7693000DBT supports two independent thermistor inputs: TS1 referenced to VSS and TS2 referenced to VC5X. This allows simultaneous monitoring of top- and bottom-pack temperatures in 36-V battery assemblies. Each input is biased using internal 10-kΩ pull-up networks matched to 103AT thermistors, and both channels operate with 12.5-ms decimation time. Details are specified in Table 6-2 Pin Functions and Section 7.5 Electrical Characteristics.
What communication interface does the BQ7693000DBT use, and does it support error checking?
The BQ7693000DBT uses a standard I²C-compatible interface (SCL/SDA pins) with optional CRC error checking on all register reads and writes. The default 7-bit I²C address is 0x08, and CRC enables robust communication in electrically noisy battery pack environments. This feature is explicitly listed under "Additional features" in Section 1 and detailed in Section 8.5 Register Maps of the datasheet.
How does the BQ7693000DBT handle short-circuit detection during discharge?
The BQ7693000DBT detects short circuits in discharge (SCD) by monitoring the SRP–SRN differential voltage. It offers programmable thresholds from 22–200 mV and ultra-fast response windows of 35–520 µs - significantly faster than overcurrent detection. Upon SCD trigger, it immediately disables the DSG FET driver to protect MOSFETs and wiring. This autonomous hardware protection is detailed in Section 1 Features and Section 7.5 Electrical Characteristics (SCDRANGE, SCDDELAY).
