Product details
Overview
BQ771601DPJR from Texas Instruments is a precision overvoltage protection IC for 2- to 4-series Li-ion battery packs, featuring ±10 mV OVP accuracy, 4.225 V fixed overvoltage threshold, and external capacitor-programmed delay timer (1–2 s with 0.1 µF). It monitors each cell independently and drives a CMOS active-high fault output, used in e-bike battery management systems to prevent cell damage during charging.
For engineers reviewing the BQ771601DPJR datasheet, BQ771601DPJR pinout, BQ771601DPJR application, or BQ771601DPJR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.225 V OVP threshold with only 50 mV hysteresis, ultra-low 1 µA supply current under normal operation, <100 nA per-cell input leakage, 8-pin WSON (3.0 × 4.0 mm) package, and integrated CD pin fault detection for open/shorted delay capacitors.
Technical Context
The BQ771601DPJR implements independent per-cell voltage sensing using precision analog comparators referenced to a stable internal bandgap. Its overvoltage response is governed by an external RC delay circuit on the CD pin, where charging current (300 µA) and discharging current (100 nA) define timing with ±10 mV threshold accuracy across –40°C to +110°C.
It operates in three functional modes: NORMAL (all cells below 4.225 V), OVERVOLTAGE (any cell ≥4.225 V triggers CD timer; OUT goes high after delay), and Customer Test Mode (CD shorted to VSS reduces delay to ≤170 ms). The CMOS active-high output delivers 4.5 mA source current and sinks up to 14 mA when inactive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| OVP Threshold | 4.225 V ±10 mV at 25°C - ensures precise cell-level overvoltage cutoff without premature tripping |

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin WSON (DPJ), 3.00 mm × 4.00 mm, exposed thermal pad, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | Unregulated 3–20 V supply; requires RC filter (RVD/CVD) for noise immunity |
| V1 | Cell 1 positive sense input | Senses voltage across lowest cell (V1–VSS); requires RIN/CIN filter for stability |
| V2 | Cell 2 positive sense input | Senses voltage across second cell (V2–V1); unused pins in 2S/3S configs must be shorted |
| V3 | Cell 3 positive sense input | Senses voltage across third cell (V3–V2); supports up to 4S configuration |
| V4 | Cell 4 positive sense input | Senses voltage across top cell (V4–V3); not connected in 2S/3S designs |
| VSS | Ground reference | IC ground and negative terminal of lowest cell; common return for all sense paths |
| CD | External delay capacitor connection | Charges to 1.5 V then discharges to trigger OUT; detects open/short faults autonomously |
| OUT | Overvoltage fault output | CMOS active-high signal; drives high after delay expiration to indicate OV condition |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent per-cell monitoring | Four dedicated high-impedance inputs (V1–V4) enable true series-cell voltage tracking without shared reference errors |
| Capacitor-programmable delay timer | 1–2 s range with 0.1 µF CCD; eliminates need for internal oscillator trimming or digital programming |
| CD pin fault detection | Autonomously triggers OUT if CD capacitor is open-circuited or shorted - no external supervision required |
| Customer Test Mode | Shorting CD to VSS reduces delay to ≤170 ms - accelerates production-line OV functional testing |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1 µA ICC at VCELL(ALL) < VPROTECT - preserves pack capacity during long-term storage or idle states |

FAQ
What is the overvoltage protection threshold of the BQ771601DPJR?
The BQ771601DPJR has a fixed overvoltage protection threshold of 4.225 V with ±10 mV accuracy at 25°C. This value is trimmed at wafer test and remains stable across temperature, with worst-case drift of ±54 mV at 110°C. The BQ771601DPJR does not support user adjustment - the threshold is factory-set and guaranteed per device.
How does the external delay capacitor affect timing in the BQ771601DPJR?
In the BQ771601DPJR, the external capacitor on the CD pin sets the overvoltage delay time via tCD = K × CCD, where K ranges from 10 to 20 s/F. With a 0.1 µF capacitor, the delay is 1–2 seconds. The BQ771601DPJR also monitors CD pin voltage to detect open or shorted capacitors and will assert OUT immediately if a fault is identified.
What package type and dimensions does the BQ771601DPJR use?
The BQ771601DPJR uses an 8-pin WSON (DPJ) package measuring 3.00 mm × 4.00 mm with an exposed thermal pad. It is RoHS-compliant, rated MSL-1, and compatible with standard reflow profiles. The part marking "771601" appears on the top surface, and the device is supplied in large tape-and-reel (3000 pcs) or small tape-and-reel (250 pcs) formats.
Does the BQ771601DPJR support 2-cell, 3-cell, and 4-cell configurations?
Yes, the BQ771601DPJR supports 2-, 3-, and 4-series Li-ion configurations. For 2S operation, V3 and V4 pins are shorted to V2; for 3S, V4 is shorted to V3. All configurations retain independent per-cell monitoring on active inputs, and the BQ771601DPJR maintains full OVP accuracy and delay functionality regardless of stack size.
What is the function of the Customer Test Mode in the BQ771601DPJR?
The Customer Test Mode in the BQ771601DPJR is activated by shorting the CD pin to VSS, reducing the overvoltage delay to ≤170 ms. This allows rapid functional verification during production testing without modifying hardware or firmware. The BQ771601DPJR retains full OVP accuracy and fault signaling in this mode, making it ideal for high-volume battery pack manufacturing.
