Product details
Overview
BQ771604DPJR from Texas Instruments is a precision overvoltage protection IC for 2- to 4-series Li-ion battery packs, featuring ±10 mV OVP accuracy, 4.200 V fixed overvoltage threshold, and external capacitor-programmed delay (1–2 s with 0.1 µF). It monitors each cell independently and drives a CMOS active-high fault signal, used in eBike and power tool battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the BQ771604DPJR datasheet, BQ771604DPJR pinout, BQ771604DPJR application, or BQ771604DPJR equivalent, this device delivers high-accuracy cell-level overvoltage detection with integrated CD-pin fault detection, low 1 µA quiescent current, and WSON-8 packaging optimized for compact battery pack layouts.
Technical Context
The BQ771604DPJR implements independent per-cell voltage sensing using precision analog comparators referenced to a stable internal bandgap, triggering an external RC-based delay timer upon any cell exceeding 4.200 V. Its CMOS active-high output asserts after the programmed delay unless reset by cell voltage falling below (4.200 V – 50 mV) hysteresis.
It integrates CD-pin open/short fault detection: if the external capacitor fails to charge to 1.5 V or discharge to near VSS within defined timing windows, the OUT pin activates immediately-ensuring fail-safe response even with faulty timing components. The device operates across –40°C to +110°C with supply voltage from 3 V to 20 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| OVP Threshold | 4.200 V ±10 mV at 25°C - enables precise cell voltage clamping without calibration. |
| OVP Hysteresis | 50 mV (typical) - prevents chatter during recovery near trip point. |
| Quiescent Current | ≈1 µA when all cells < VPROTECT - extends battery shelf life in storage. |
| Input Leakage | <100 nA per Vx pin - minimizes cell imbalance and self-discharge error. |
| Delay Timer Range | 1–2 s with 0.1 µF CD capacitor - configurable via external component for system-level fault response tuning. |
| Output Drive | CMOS active-high, VOUT = VDD – 0.3 V @ 100 µA - directly interfaces with MCU GPIO or latch without pull-up. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +110°C - supports under-hood and industrial battery environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin WSON (DPJ), 3.00 mm × 4.00 mm, exposed thermal pad, 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 | Sense input for lowest cell; connects between Cell 1+ and VSS; requires RIN/CIN filter. |
| V2 | Cell 2 positive sense | Sense input for second cell; connects between Cell 2+ and Cell 1+; requires RIN/CIN filter. |
| V3 | Cell 3 positive sense | Sense input for third cell; connects between Cell 3+ and Cell 2+; unused in 2S config. |
| V4 | Cell 4 positive sense | Sense input for fourth cell; connects between Cell 4+ and Cell 3+; unused in 2S/3S configs. |
| VSS | Ground reference | IC ground and negative terminal of lowest cell; must be low-impedance return path. |
| CD | Delay capacitor interface | Connects to external timing capacitor; includes built-in charge/discharge and fault detection circuitry. |
| OUT | Overvoltage fault output | CMOS active-high signal; drives high (VDD – 0.3 V) during OV condition; no external pull-up required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent per-cell monitoring | Four differential inputs (V1–VSS, V2–V1, V3–V2, V4–V3) enable true series-string voltage tracking without shared reference errors. |
| CD-pin fault detection | Detects open or shorted external delay capacitor and forces immediate OUT assertion - eliminates single-point failure risk. |
| Customer Test Mode | Shorting CD to VSS reduces OV delay to ≤170 ms - accelerates production-line functional testing without compromising safety. |
| High-accuracy OVP | ±10 mV initial accuracy and ±54 mV max drift over –40°C to +110°C ensures reliable protection across temperature extremes. |
| Ultra-low leakage | <100 nA per cell input minimizes inter-cell voltage imbalance and preserves state-of-charge accuracy during long-term storage. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar overvoltage protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ771601DPJR | OVP threshold = 4.225 V, hysteresis = 50 mV - tighter voltage margin for higher-capacity NMC cells. | Used where cell chemistry requires slightly elevated OVP (e.g., high-voltage NMC). | Select when nominal cell OCV exceeds 4.200 V but remains below 4.225 V at full charge. |
| BQ771602DPJR | OVP threshold = 4.225 V, output = NCH open-drain active-low - requires external pull-up resistor. | Preferred in systems with legacy active-low fault signaling or wired-OR fault bus architectures. | Choose only if host system expects active-low logic and can accommodate pull-up design constraints. |
Compared with BQ771604DPJR, BQ771601DPJR offers a 25 mV higher OVP threshold for chemistries needing less conservative clamping, while BQ771602DPJR provides active-low output compatibility at the cost of added external components and reduced noise immunity on the fault line.

FAQ
What is the exact overvoltage protection threshold for BQ771604DPJR?
The BQ771604DPJR has a fixed overvoltage protection threshold of 4.200 V ±10 mV at 25°C, with ±54 mV maximum accuracy drift across the full –40°C to +110°C operating range. This value is factory-trimmed and does not require external calibration. The BQ771604DPJR uses an internal precision reference to maintain stability against supply and temperature variation.
Does BQ771604DPJR support 2-cell, 3-cell, and 4-cell battery configurations?
Yes, the BQ771604DPJR supports 2-series, 3-series, and 4-series Li-ion battery configurations. Unused Vx pins (e.g., V3 and V4 in a 2S setup) must be shorted to the adjacent lower-potential node as specified in the datasheet's typical application schematics. All four sense inputs are internally isolated, enabling true differential monitoring per cell gap.
How is the overvoltage delay time set on BQ771604DPJR?
The BQ771604DPJR uses an external capacitor connected to the CD pin to set the overvoltage delay time. With a 0.1 µF capacitor, the delay ranges from 1 s to 2 s depending on process and temperature. The relationship follows tCD (s) = K × CCD (µF), where K = 10–20. The BQ771604DPJR also detects CD pin faults (open/short) and triggers immediate OUT assertion if the capacitor fails to charge or discharge properly.
What is the output type and drive capability of BQ771604DPJR?
The BQ771604DPJR features a CMOS active-high output. When triggered, OUT drives high to VDD – 0.3 V at 100 µA sink load; it sources up to 4.5 mA during overvoltage. No external pull-up is required. This differs from NCH open-drain variants (e.g., BQ771602DPJR), making the BQ771604DPJR ideal for direct MCU GPIO interfacing without additional passives.
What package and thermal characteristics does BQ771604DPJR use?
The BQ771604DPJR is housed in an 8-pin WSON (DPJ) package measuring 3.00 mm × 4.00 mm with an exposed thermal pad. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) is 56.6°C/W, and junction-to-board (RθJB) is 30.6°C/W. The device is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +110°C ambient, with MSL Level-1 handling and lead-free (NiPdAu) finish compliant with RoHS.
