Product details
Overview
BQ7694201PFBR from Texas Instruments is a high-accuracy, 3- to 10-series Li-ion/LiFePO₄ battery monitor and protector IC with integrated high-side charge-pump NFET drivers, dual programmable LDOs (REG1/REG2), and simultaneous voltage/current ADC sampling. It delivers ±5 mV typical cell voltage accuracy, <1 µV input offset for coulomb counting, and supports autonomous or host-controlled cell balancing in cordless power tools and e-bikes.
For engineers reviewing the BQ7694201PFBR datasheet, BQ7694201PFBR pinout, BQ7694201PFBR application, or BQ7694201PFBR equivalent, key selection criteria include its SPI interface with CRC enabled, 48-pin TQFP (PFB) package, 85-V cell-stack tolerance, 9–10 µA DEEPSLEEP current, and support for up to nine external thermistors with internal diagnostics.
Technical Context
The BQ7694201PFBR implements two independent high-accuracy ADCs: one dedicated to cell voltage measurement (±5 mV typical error at 25°C) and another for current sensing across a ±200-mV sense resistor range, enabling synchronized sampling. Its protection subsystem includes configurable overvoltage, undervoltage, overtemperature, and overcurrent triggers with both primary and secondary response layers.
It integrates a high-voltage charge pump driving NFETs for high-side protection, autonomous recovery logic, and OTP memory programmable on production line. Communication is via 400-kHz SPI (CRC enabled), with multifunction pins supporting HDQ, I²C, or general-purpose ADC/thermistor inputs - all operating within –40°C to +85°C functional temperature range.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery monitor and protector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ7694202PFBR | I²C interface (400 kHz) with CRC enabled; REG1 LDO defaults to 3.3 V | Preferred for host systems using I²C buses with strict noise immunity requirements | Select when I²C is required and 3.3-V LDO output is needed for MCU or sensor biasing |
| BQ7695201PFBR | Higher cell count (up to 16S); adds integrated 3.3-V LDO regulator and enhanced diagnostics | Suitable for larger industrial or energy storage systems beyond 10S | Choose only if scaling to >10S stacks or requiring built-in 3.3-V supply for external peripherals |
Compared with BQ7694201PFBR, the BQ7694202PFBR offers identical functionality but substitutes SPI for I²C - simplifying integration in I²C-dominant architectures - while the BQ7695201PFBR extends scalability to 16S at higher cost and pin count, making it over-specified for 3–10S applications unless future-proofing is critical.

FAQ
What communication interface does the BQ7694201PFBR support?
The BQ7694201PFBR supports 400-kHz SPI with CRC enabled as its primary interface. Unlike other variants in the BQ76942 family, it does not support I²C or HDQ by default - SPI configuration is fixed and verified in the device part number suffix "01". This ensures deterministic timing and robust noise immunity in electrically noisy power tool or e-bike environments where the BQ7694201PFBR is deployed.
Does the BQ7694201PFBR include integrated FET drivers?
Yes, the BQ7694201PFBR integrates high-side charge-pump NFET drivers for PCHG and PDSG, plus NMOS drivers for CHG and DSG. These drivers support up to 70-V output swing and are designed to directly control external MOSFETs without level-shifting components. The BQ7694201PFBR's charge pump eliminates the need for external high-voltage bias supplies, reducing system complexity and PCB area - a key advantage over discrete protection solutions.
What is the cell voltage measurement accuracy of the BQ7694201PFBR?
The BQ7694201PFBR achieves ±5 mV typical cell voltage measurement accuracy at 25°C (2 V–5 V range), ±10 mV from 0°C to 60°C, and ±15 mV across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range. This accuracy is specified after board-level offset calibration and enables reliable overvoltage/undervoltage protection and precise state-of-charge estimation - critical for maximizing cycle life in applications like cordless power tools where the BQ7694201PFBR is commonly used.
How many external thermistors can the BQ7694201PFBR monitor?
The BQ7694201PFBR supports up to nine external thermistors via dedicated TS1–TS3 pins and six additional multifunction pins (ALERT, HDQ, CFETOFF, DFETOFF, DCHG, DDSG) configurable as thermistor inputs. Combined with its internal die temperature sensor, this provides comprehensive thermal coverage across large battery packs - essential for meeting safety standards in e-bikes and drones where the BQ7694201PFBR serves as the primary thermal supervisor.
What power modes does the BQ7694201PFBR offer and what are their typical currents?
The BQ7694201PFBR offers NORMAL mode (286 µA), multiple SLEEP options (24–41 µA), multiple DEEPSLEEP options (9–10 µA), and SHUTDOWN mode (1 µA). DEEPSLEEP enables ultra-low quiescent current while retaining wake capability via TS2 or LD pin - extending shelf life and enabling instant-on behavior in portable equipment. These modes are fully configurable via registers or OTP, and the BQ7694201PFBR's low-power architecture is validated across –40°C to +85°C.
