Product details
Overview
BQ7697204PFBR from Texas Instruments is a high-accuracy, 3- to 16-series Li-ion/LiFePO₄ battery monitor and protector IC with ±3.0 mV cell voltage measurement accuracy, integrated high-side NFET charge pump drivers, dual programmable LDOs (REG1/REG2), and SPI communication interface. It performs autonomous or host-controlled cell balancing and supports up to nine external thermistors in energy storage and e-mobility battery packs.
For engineers reviewing the BQ7697204PFBR datasheet, BQ7697204PFBR pinout, BQ7697204PFBR application, or BQ7697204PFBR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 48-pin TQFP package, 85 V high-voltage tolerance on cell inputs, 9–10 µA DEEPSLEEP current, ±200-mV current-sense range, and OTP memory programmability for production-line configuration.
Technical Context
The BQ7697204PFBR implements two independent ADCs for simultaneous high-accuracy voltage and current sampling, with coulomb counter input offset error <1 µV (typical) and dedicated digital filters (CC1/CC2) for precision charge tracking. Its protection subsystem includes comparator-based overvoltage, undervoltage, overtemperature, and overcurrent detection with configurable thresholds and delays.
It integrates a charge pump enabling high-side NFET drive without external components, supports random cell attach during manufacturing, and features an internal 1.8-V LDO (REG18) plus two user-programmable LDOs (REG1/REG2) settable to 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.0 V, 3.3 V, or 5.0 V - all powered from REGIN. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C with functional 85 V absolute max rating on VC0–VC16 pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Cell Count Range | Supports 3- to 16-series Li-ion, Li-polymer, or LiFePO₄ stacks - enables scalable pack design from 12.6 V to 67.2 V nominal. |
| Cell Voltage Accuracy | ±3.0 mV - ensures precise state-of-charge estimation and tight voltage-based protection triggering. |
| Coulomb Counter Offset | <1 µV (typical) - minimizes integration drift during long-term current monitoring for accurate capacity tracking. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ7697202PFBR | I²C interface (400 kHz), CRC enabled, REG1 LDO default enabled at 3.3 V - lacks SPI support and has fixed communication protocol. | Better suited for MCU-hosted systems with existing I²C infrastructure and no requirement for deterministic SPI timing. | Select BQ7697202PFBR when I²C is preferred and CRC-based data integrity is required; avoid if host requires SPI or flexible LDO disable. |
| BQ76972PFBR | Default I²C interface, CRC disabled, REG1 LDO default disabled - baseline variant with minimal factory configuration. | Appropriate for cost-sensitive designs where communication flexibility and LDO usage are determined in final firmware. | Select BQ76972PFBR for prototyping or multi-variant platforms; BQ7697204PFBR is preferred for production SPI-based systems needing guaranteed CRC and preset LDOs. |
Compared with BQ76972PFBR and BQ7697202PFBR, the BQ7697204PFBR uniquely delivers SPI interface with CRC enabled and REG1 preconfigured to 3.3 V - optimizing it for high-integrity, production-ready BMS implementations where deterministic timing and factory-set power rails reduce validation effort.

FAQ
What communication interface does the BQ7697204PFBR support?
The BQ7697204PFBR supports SPI communication at up to 400 kHz, with pins mapped to SCL (SPI_SCLK), SDA (SPI_MISO), HDQ (SPI_MOSI), and CFETOFF (SPI_CS). Unlike other variants in the family, it does not support I²C or HDQ by default - SPI is its sole primary interface, enabling deterministic, noise-resistant host communication essential for real-time BMS control.
Does the BQ7697204PFBR include built-in cell balancing capability?
Yes, the BQ7697204PFBR integrates autonomous passive cell balancing circuitry with dedicated balancing FETs and timing logic per cell. It supports both host-controlled and autonomous balancing modes, with maximum balancing current of 100 mA per cell. Balancing is configurable via registers and can be triggered based on voltage differentials or scheduled intervals - no external balancing ICs or discrete FETs are required.
What is the operating voltage range for the BQ7697204PFBR's cell voltage inputs (VC0–VC16)?
The BQ7697204PFBR supports up to 85 V absolute maximum on VC0–VC16 pins, enabling direct monitoring of 16-series Li-ion packs (up to ~67.2 V nominal). Per TI's recommended operating conditions, VC(x) inputs tolerate up to VVC(x−1)+5.5 V for x ≥ 5, ensuring safe operation across stacked configurations without external voltage dividers or level shifters - a key enabler for high-cell-count industrial battery packs.
How does the BQ7697204PFBR manage ultra-low-power operation in battery standby mode?
The BQ7697204PFBR offers multiple low-power states: DEEPSLEEP draws just 9.2–10.7 µA (with LFO on/off), while SHUTDOWN consumes only 1–3.1 µA. In DEEPSLEEP, the device retains register contents and supports wake-up via TS2 voltage fall or LD pin transition - allowing rapid resumption of monitoring without full re-initialization. This makes BQ7697204PFBR ideal for battery backup and energy storage applications requiring multi-year shelf life.
Can the BQ7697204PFBR drive high-side NFETs without external components?
Yes, the BQ7697204PFBR integrates a charge pump that generates gate drive voltage above the battery stack voltage, enabling direct high-side NFET control. It drives CHG and DSG outputs with up to 11 V overdrive, and supports PCHG/PDSG for precharge and predischarge sequencing. No external bootstrap capacitors or gate driver ICs are needed - simplifying layout and improving reliability in high-voltage pack designs.
