For engineers reviewing the BQ7693001DBT datasheet, BQ7693001DBT pinout, BQ7693001DBT application, or BQ7693001DBT equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative parts with documented differences, and supply-chain-ready availability details - all grounded in TI's SLUSBK2I datasheet and official package documentation.
Technical Context
The BQ7693001DBT implements a dedicated analog front-end architecture with independent 14-bit ADCs for cell voltage (VC0–VC10), pack current (SRP/SRN), die temperature, and two external thermistors (TS1/TS2). Its protection logic executes in hardware without host intervention, supporting configurable OV/UV trip points (16-LSB steps), OCD/SCD thresholds (8–100 mV range), and programmable delay timers (1–8 s for OV/UV, 8–1280 ms for OCD).
It operates in multiple power modes: NORMAL (ADC/CC on/off combinations), SHIP (0.6–1.8 µA), and BOOT-initiated startup. The device uses a segmented voltage domain structure - VC5X serves as reference for cells 6–10 - enabling accurate differential sensing across up to 10 series cells while maintaining <±25 mV total error over –40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Cell Count Support | 6–10 series Li-ion/LiFePO₄ cells; enables 24–36 V nominal battery packs with segmented sensing (VC0–VC5 + VC5X-referenced VC6–VC10). |
| Cell Voltage Accuracy | ±15 mV at 25°C (3.2–4.6 V range); ensures reliable OV/UV detection within 1 LSB step (16 mV) without calibration. |
| Current Sensing | 16-bit coulomb counter with ±200 mV input range, ±40 LSB INL, and 8.44 µV LSB; supports precision capacity tracking using external sense resistor. |
| Protection Response | Hardware-triggered OCD (8–100 mV threshold), SCD (22–200 mV), OV/UV (configurable via register), with fixed delay options (1/2/4/8 s) and no firmware dependency. |
| Power Consumption | 130–195 µA in full NORMAL mode (ADC + CC active); drops to 0.6–1.8 µA in SHIP mode for long-term storage. |
| I²C Interface | Standard-mode compatible (up to 100 kHz), CRC optional; address preconfigured to 0x08; enables host read/write of all registers and status flags. |
| Thermistor Support | Two independent 103AT thermistor inputs (TS1 referenced to VSS, TS2 referenced to VC5X); includes internal 10 kΩ pull-up and bias control. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 30-pin TSSOP (DBT), 7.80 mm × 4.40 mm × 1.20 mm body size, lead pitch 0.65 mm. RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VC0–VC5 | Cell voltage sense inputs (low-side to mid-stack) | Direct connection to negative terminal of Cell 1 (VC0) and positive terminals of Cells 1–5 (VC1–VC5); referenced to VSS. |
| VC6–VC10 | Cell voltage sense inputs (high-side stack) | Connected to positive terminals of Cells 6–10; referenced to VC5X (not VSS), enabling differential measurement across 10-series configuration. |
| VC5X | Reference node for upper cell stack | Serves as local ground for TS2 and VC6–VC10; must be tied to Cell 5's negative terminal (VC5B) per layout guidelines. |
| SRP / SRN | Current sense differential inputs | Measure voltage drop across external sense resistor (RSNS); SRP connects near battery negative, SRN near load/FET source. |
| CHG / DSG | Low-side N-channel FET gate drivers | Drive external MOSFET gates directly; output swing tracks REGSRC (10–14 V typical), supporting >1 A continuous drive capability. |
| TS1 / TS2 | Thermistor interface pins | TS1 referenced to VSS; TS2 referenced to VC5X; each requires 10 kΩ pull-down if unused to prevent floating input. |
| REGSRC / REGOUT | Integrated LDO power path | REGSRC accepts 6–25 V input; REGOUT delivers regulated 2.5 V (fixed) to external circuitry or microcontroller I/O rails. |
| ALERT | Open-drain interrupt and override | Asserts low on protection event or register flag; also accepts external override signal to clear latched faults without host reset. |
| SCL / SDA | I²C serial interface | Standard bidirectional bus lines; support CRC checksum option; require external 4.7 kΩ pull-ups to REGOUT or other 3.3 V rail. |
| BAT | Main battery high-side input | Connects to top of battery stack (Cell 10+); withstands absolute max 108 V; supplies internal bias for high-voltage domains. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated cell balancing | Internal 5 mA per-cell balancing FETs eliminate need for external balancing circuits; reduces BOM count and PCB area in 6–10S packs. |
| Random cell connection tolerance | Supports non-sequential cell wiring (e.g., VC3 connected before VC2); prevents misconfiguration errors during assembly or field repair. |
| No EEPROM programming required | All configuration stored in volatile registers; simplifies manufacturing test flow and eliminates programming step - device operates immediately after power-on. |
| Dual thermistor support with independent references | TS1 (VSS-referenced) monitors pack ambient or Cell 1–5; TS2 (VC5X-referenced) monitors upper stack (Cells 6–10); avoids single-point thermal failure. |
| SHIP mode ultra-low power state | 0.6–1.8 µA quiescent current with only boot-detection circuit active; enables multi-year shelf life for battery modules in storage. |

FAQ
What is the maximum number of series cells supported by the BQ7693001DBT?
The BQ7693001DBT supports up to 10 series-connected cells in a single-package configuration. Its segmented sensing architecture uses VC0–VC5 referenced to VSS and VC6–VC10 referenced to VC5X, enabling accurate voltage measurement across the full 10-cell stack without external multiplexers or daisy-chaining. This matches the 6–10S specification confirmed in TI's SLUSBK2I datasheet Section 5 and Table 6-2.
Does the BQ7693001DBT include an integrated voltage regulator?
Yes, the BQ7693001DBT integrates a 2.5 V output LDO regulator. REGSRC accepts 6–25 V input, and REGOUT delivers a fixed 2.5 V supply capable of driving external logic or MCU I/O rails. This eliminates the need for an external LDO in many designs, as verified in the "Additional features" list (Section 1) and Electrical Characteristics table (Section 7.5) of the official datasheet.
How does the BQ7693001DBT handle overcurrent protection?
The BQ7693001DBT implements hardware-based Overcurrent in Discharge (OCD) protection with user-configurable thresholds from 8 mV to 100 mV across the SRP–SRN sense resistor. It offers selectable delay timers (8–1280 ms) and triggers immediate DSG FET shutdown without host intervention. This behavior is documented in Sections 1 (Features), 7.5 (Electrical Characteristics), and 8.3 (Feature Description) of TI's SLUSBK2I datasheet.
Is the BQ7693001DBT pin-compatible with other devices in the BQ769x0 family?
No, the BQ7693001DBT is not pin-compatible with BQ76920 or BQ76940 variants. It uses a 30-pin TSSOP (DBT) package, whereas BQ76920 uses 20-pin TSSOP (PW) and BQ76940 uses 44-pin TSSOP (DBT). Pin counts, layouts, and voltage domain references (e.g., VC5X presence) differ fundamentally - confirmed in Section 6 Pin Configuration and Table 5 Device Comparison of the datasheet.
What thermistor types are supported by the BQ7693001DBT?
The BQ7693001DBT supports two 103AT NTC thermistors - one referenced to VSS (TS1) and one referenced to VC5X (TS2) - as explicitly stated in Section 1 Features and Table 6-2 Pin Functions. Each thermistor input includes internal 10 kΩ pull-up biasing, and the device measures resistance via voltage division, enabling temperature calculation across –40°C to +85°C per TI's application guidance.
