Product details
Overview
BQ7694003DBT from Texas Instruments is a 9–15-series Li-ion/LiFePO₄ battery monitor AFE with integrated cell balancing FETs, low-side charge/discharge drivers, and dual 14-bit/16-bit ADCs for voltage, temperature, and coulomb counting. It supports up to three 103AT thermistors, delivers 2.5-V or 3.3-V LDO output, and operates up to 108 V absolute max supply-designed for 48-V industrial battery packs in e-scooters and energy storage systems.
For engineers reviewing the BQ7694003DBT datasheet, BQ7694003DBT pinout, BQ7694003DBT application, or BQ7694003DBT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 44-pin TSSOP package, I²C interface with CRC option, random cell connection tolerance, ultra-low-power SHIP mode (0.6–1.8 µA), and hardware-based overvoltage/undervoltage/overcurrent protection with programmable delays.
Technical Context
The BQ7694003DBT implements a multi-rail sensing architecture with segmented voltage domains (VC0–VC5, VC5x–VC10, VC10x–VC15) enabling direct monitoring of up to 15 series cells without external level shifters. Its dual-ADC system separates cell voltage/temperature measurement (14-bit, ±10 mV accuracy at 25°C) from pack current sensing (16-bit coulomb counter, ±2 LSB INL, 8.44 µV LSB).
Hardware protection logic runs independently of host communication: OV/UV thresholds are set via register-programmable ADC codes (step size 16 LSB), while OCD/SCD detection uses configurable voltage windows across SRP–SRN with 35–520 µs response latency. The device includes dedicated thermistor biasing (10 kΩ pull-up, ±0.3 kΩ drift) and supports boot-triggered initialization via TS1.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery monitor AFE applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ7694000DBT | Same 44-TSSOP package and 9–15S support, but configured for 2.5-V LDO output and no CRC on I²C interface. | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs where CRC validation is unnecessary and 2.5-V rail suffices for host MCU. | Select BQ7694000DBT when CRC is not required and system uses 2.5-V logic; BQ7694003DBT adds CRC and 3.3-V LDO flexibility. |
| MAX17853 | 14-channel monitor (max 14S), 3.3-V fixed LDO, SPI interface, no integrated balancing FETs-requires external balancing circuitry. | Targeted at automotive ASIL-B systems with SPI master requirement and higher channel density per package. | Choose MAX17853 for SPI-based BMS architectures needing ASIL-B compliance; BQ7694003DBT offers lower system cost via integrated balancing and I²C simplicity. |
Compared with BQ7694000DBT, BQ7694003DBT provides CRC-enabled I²C communication and 3.3-V LDO output-critical for noise-prone industrial environments and mixed-voltage systems. Against MAX17853, it reduces bill-of-materials by integrating balancing FETs and simplifies firmware via I²C, though supports one fewer cell than MAX17853's 14S limit.

FAQ
What is the maximum cell count supported by the BQ7694003DBT?
The BQ7694003DBT supports 9–15 series cells, enabling direct monitoring of 48-V nominal Li-ion or LiFePO₄ battery packs. Its segmented voltage domain architecture (VC0–VC5, VC5x–VC10, VC10x–VC15) eliminates the need for external level shifters in 15S configurations. This capability is confirmed in the device comparison table and pin diagram documentation for the BQ76940 family.
Does the BQ7694003DBT include integrated cell balancing FETs?
Yes, the BQ7694003DBT integrates internal cell balancing FETs rated for 5 mA per cell-verified in the "Additional features" section and electrical characteristics table. These FETs reduce external component count and simplify PCB layout for passive balancing in high-cell-count packs, distinguishing it from alternatives like the MAX17853 that require external balancing components.
What LDO output voltage does the BQ7694003DBT provide?
The BQ7694003DBT delivers a 3.3-V regulated output on the REGOUT pin, as specified in the device comparison table where "BQ7694003DBT" is explicitly listed under the "LDO (V)" column with value "3.3". This differs from BQ7694000DBT (2.5 V) and enables direct powering of 3.3-V microcontrollers or sensors without external regulators.
How does the BQ7694003DBT handle thermistor connections?
The BQ7694003DBT supports three independent thermistor inputs (TS1, TS2, TS3), each with dedicated internal 10 kΩ pull-up bias and referenced to separate ground domains: TS1 to VSS, TS2 to VC5x, and TS3 to VC10x. This architecture minimizes noise coupling in large battery packs and is documented in the pin functions table and recommended operating conditions section.
What protection features are implemented in hardware on the BQ7694003DBT?
The BQ7694003DBT implements five hardware-based protections: overvoltage (OV), undervoltage (UV), overcurrent in discharge (OCD), short circuit in discharge (SCD), and secondary protector fault detection. All operate autonomously without host intervention, with programmable thresholds and delay timers-detailed in the "Hardware protection features" list and electrical characteristics tables for OV/UV/OCD/SCD parameters.
