Product details
Overview
BQ7694006DBT from Texas Instruments is a 9–15-series Li-ion and LiFePO₄ battery monitor AFE with integrated cell balancing FETs, low-side charge/discharge FET drivers, and dual 14-bit/16-bit ADCs for voltage, temperature, and coulomb counting. It supports up to three thermistors (103AT), delivers 2.5-V LDO output, and operates up to 108 V absolute max supply - used in 48-V e-bike and UPS battery packs.
For engineers reviewing the BQ7694006DBT datasheet, BQ7694006DBT pinout, BQ7694006DBT application, or BQ7694006DBT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 44-pin TSSOP package, I²C address 0x18 (preprogrammed), no-EEPROM configuration, random-cell connection tolerance, and hardware-based OV/UV/OCD/SCD protection with programmable delays.
Technical Context
The BQ7694006DBT 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 subsystem includes a 14-bit cell voltage/temperature converter (±25 mV accuracy over –40°C to 85°C) and a 16-bit coulomb counter (±2 LSB INL, ±0.5% gain error).
Hardware protection logic executes independently of host control: OV/UV thresholds are set via 12-bit registers with 16-LSB step resolution; OCD/SCD detection uses differential sense inputs (SRP/SRN) with configurable thresholds (8–100 mV OCD, 22–200 mV SCD) and delay options from 8 ms to 1280 ms.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Cell Count Support | 9–15 series Li-ion/LiFePO₄ cells - enables 36–60 V nominal pack designs like 48-V e-scooter batteries. |
| I²C Address | Fixed 7-bit address 0x18 - eliminates address conflict risk in multi-device systems; no software configuration required. |
| ADC Accuracy | ±25 mV cell voltage error (–40°C to 85°C) - ensures reliable OV/UV fault detection within safety margins. |
| Cell Balancing Current | 5 mA per cell (internal FET) - sufficient for passive balancing in high-capacity industrial packs with low self-discharge mismatch. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 6 V to 25 V on REGSRC; up to 108 V absolute max on BAT - supports direct connection to high-voltage battery stacks without external regulators. |
| Thermistor Support | Three independent 103AT thermistor inputs (TS1–TS3) with dedicated bias rails (VC0, VC5x, VC10x) - enables distributed thermal monitoring across large-format packs. |
| Protection Delay Resolution | OV/UV delays configurable in 1/4/8/16 s steps; OCD delays from 8 ms to 1280 ms - allows precise coordination with external FET response times and system fault recovery policies. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 44-pin TSSOP (DBT), 11.00 mm × 4.40 mm body size, 1.2 mm height - compatible with standard automated PCB assembly and provides thermal performance of RθJA = 70.1°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VC0–VC15 | Cell voltage sense inputs | Segmented rail inputs (VC0–VC5, VC5x–VC10, VC10x–VC15) enable direct 15-cell monitoring without external level shifters or isolation. |
| SRP / SRN | Differential current sense inputs | Accept ±200 mV differential signal from sense resistor - supports high-accuracy coulomb counting and fast OCD/SCD detection. |
| CHG / DSG | Low-side N-channel FET drivers | Drive external MOSFET gates with 10–14 V output (REGSRC ≥12 V); rise time ≤250 µs into 10 nF load. |
| REGSRC / REGOUT | LDO input/output | REGSRC accepts 6–25 V input; REGOUT delivers regulated 2.5 V (±2%) at up to 10 mA for MCU or sensor power. |
| TS1–TS3 | Thermistor bias and sense | Three independent thermistor channels with dedicated bias rails (VSS, VC5x, VC10x) - prevents crosstalk in multi-zone thermal management. |
| ALERT | Open-drain interrupt output | Asserts low on OV/UV/OCD/SCD/fault events; also accepts override input for manual reset or forced shutdown. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Random cell connection tolerance | Eliminates strict physical cell order requirements during pack assembly - reduces manufacturing complexity and rework. |
| No EEPROM programming | All configuration (I²C address, LDO voltage) factory-programmed and immutable - ensures consistent behavior across production batches. |
| SHIP mode ultra-low power | 0.6–1.8 µA quiescent current - extends shelf life of pre-assembled battery packs before first use. |
| Integrated balancing FETs | 5 mA per-cell internal discharge path - removes need for external balancing circuits in cost-sensitive applications. |
| Hardware-only protection logic | OCD/SCD/OV/UV triggers execute autonomously without host MCU intervention - guarantees fail-safe response during communication loss. |

FAQ
What is the factory-configured I²C address of the BQ7694006DBT?
The BQ7694006DBT has a permanently programmed 7-bit I²C address of 0x18. This value is stored in factory ROM and cannot be modified in-system or via software. It enables deterministic multi-device addressing in battery packs using multiple BQ76940 devices without bus contention.
Does the BQ7694006DBT support thermistor-based temperature monitoring?
Yes, the BQ7694006DBT supports three independent 103AT thermistors via TS1, TS2, and TS3 pins, each with dedicated bias rails (VSS, VC5x, VC10x). The internal ADC measures thermistor voltage with 14-bit resolution and ±2% accuracy across –40°C to 85°C, enabling precise zone-specific thermal profiling in large-format packs.
What is the maximum cell count supported by the BQ7694006DBT?
The BQ7694006DBT supports 9–15 series-connected cells, covering nominal pack voltages from 36 V to 60 V. Its segmented sensing architecture (VC0–VC5, VC5x–VC10, VC10x–VC15) allows direct monitoring of all 15 cells without external level-shifting circuitry or additional ICs.
Can the BQ7694006DBT perform cell balancing without external components?
Yes, the BQ7694006DBT integrates internal cell balancing FETs delivering 5 mA per cell. This eliminates the need for external balancing resistors or driver transistors in applications where moderate balancing current suffices - such as LiFePO₄ packs with low self-discharge variance.
What protection functions are implemented in hardware on the BQ7694006DBT?
The BQ7694006DBT implements five hardware-based protections: Overvoltage (OV), Undervoltage (UV), Overcurrent in Discharge (OCD), Short Circuit in Discharge (SCD), and secondary protector fault detection. All trigger autonomously without host MCU involvement, with configurable delays and thresholds stored in dedicated registers.
