Product details
Overview
BQ7720701DSSR from Texas Instruments is a dedicated Li-ion battery protection IC for 3- to 7-series cell packs, providing independent overvoltage (4.275 V ±20 mV), undervoltage (2.0 V ±30 mV), open-wire, and overtemperature (80°C) detection with fixed 1-second delay timers and active-high 6-V COUT/DOUT outputs. It operates across –40°C to 110°C and consumes only ~3.5 µA in normal mode.
For engineers reviewing the BQ7720701DSSR datasheet, BQ7720701DSSR pinout, BQ7720701DSSR application, or BQ7720701DSSR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world protection timing behavior, thermal design guidance, and validated alternative options for battery pack safety architecture.
Technical Context
The BQ7720701DSSR implements independent per-cell voltage monitoring using precision analog comparators with factory-trimmed references, triggering fixed 1-s delay timers upon OVP/UVP/OW/OT fault detection. Its internal oscillator drives timing and supports Customer Test Mode (CTM) with 50-ms fault response for production-line validation.
It features dual fault outputs: COUT activates on overvoltage, open-wire, or overtemperature; DOUT activates on undervoltage, open-wire, or overtemperature. Both outputs are configured as active-high CMOS drivers capable of sourcing 6.5 mA at 6 V - enabling direct interface with external FET gate drivers or fuse control logic without level-shifting.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Handheld Power Tools | Cordless Vacuum Cleaners |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 5S Li-ion pack in 20V brushless drill subjected to rapid charge/discharge cycles and mechanical shock. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary voltage and temperature protector; monitors each cell independently and asserts COUT/DOUT within 1 s of OVP/UVP/OT violation. Use Value: Prevents thermal runaway during stall-current events by cutting off charge/discharge before cell voltage exceeds 4.275 V or temperature reaches 80°C. |
Use Scenario: 6S battery in high-power cordless vacuum with frequent deep discharge and regenerative braking spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone safety monitor co-located with pack; provides redundant UVP cutoff at 2.0 V to avoid copper dissolution during low-voltage motor surges. Use Value: Enables safe operation down to 2.0 V/cell while maintaining ±30 mV accuracy across –10°C to 60°C ambient - extending usable runtime without compromising longevity. |
| eBike Battery Packs | UPS Backup Systems |
Use Scenario: 7S 36V eBike battery exposed to outdoor temperature extremes and vibration-induced connector fatigue. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Open-wire detector and overtemperature supervisor; uses TS pin with NTC to trigger dual-output shutdown at 80°C during hill-climb thermal stress. Use Value: Detects broken intercell welds via 128-µs pulsed current sensing - avoids false trips from transient noise while catching latent mechanical failures pre-failure. |
Use Scenario: 4S UPS module requiring fail-safe disconnect during grid outage with extended float charging. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary protection layer behind primary BMS; provides independent OVP verification at 4.275 V to prevent overcharge during AC charger regulation drift. Use Value: Adds deterministic 1-s delay before cutoff - eliminates nuisance tripping from brief voltage transients while guaranteeing shutdown before electrolyte decomposition begins. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Li-ion battery protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ7720700DSSR | OVP = 4.325 V, UV = 2.25 V, OT = 70°C; same 1-s delay and active-high outputs | Better suited for higher-voltage NMC chemistries where tighter OVP margin is required | Select when cell OCV tolerance demands 4.325 V trip point and lower OT threshold improves thermal margin |
| BQ7720702DSSR | Same OVP/UVP/OT values as BQ7720701DSSR but with 2-s delay timer instead of 1 s | Preferred in applications with high transient voltage noise (e.g., motor commutation spikes) | Choose when system-level EMI requires longer debounce to avoid false OVP/UVP assertions |
Compared with BQ7720701DSSR, BQ7720700DSSR offers higher OVP setpoint and lower OT threshold for enhanced safety margin in aggressive charge profiles, while BQ7720702DSSR trades faster response for improved noise immunity via doubled delay - both retain identical pinout, package, and drive strength.

FAQ
What is the overvoltage protection threshold and accuracy of the BQ7720701DSSR?
The BQ7720701DSSR has a fixed overvoltage protection threshold of 4.275 V with ±20 mV accuracy over 0°C to 60°C and ±50 mV over –40°C to 110°C. This value is factory-trimmed and non-adjustable, ensuring consistent cell-level protection without external resistor networks or calibration. The BQ7720701DSSR achieves this accuracy using internal bandgap-referenced comparators and matched transistor arrays.
How does the BQ7720701DSSR handle open-wire detection, and what is its impact on system design?
The BQ7720701DSSR performs open-wire detection by applying a 50-µA pulsed current to each Vx pin every 128 ms for 128 µs, measuring voltage drop to identify disconnected cells. This method avoids continuous DC loading that could disturb pack voltage. The BQ7720701DSSR requires no external components for OW detection and supports random cell connection order - simplifying assembly and reducing field failure risk in high-vibration applications like power tools.
Can the BQ7720701DSSR be used with both NTC and PTC thermistors for overtemperature protection?
Yes, the BQ7720701DSSR supports both NTC and PTC thermistors via its TS pin, which interfaces with an internal 20 kΩ pull-up resistor. For the 80°C overtemperature threshold, it expects an external NTC resistance of 2195 Ω (at 80°C) or a PTC resistance of 111.1 kΩ. The BQ7720701DSSR's ratiometric measurement rejects supply variation, and its ±5°C OT accuracy assumes ±2% thermistor tolerance - confirmed in TI's SLUSEG7D datasheet Section 6.5.
What is Customer Test Mode (CTM) in the BQ7720701DSSR, and how is it activated?
Customer Test Mode (CTM) reduces the BQ7720701DSSR's fault delay timer from 1 s to 50 ms for rapid end-of-line functional testing. It is activated by raising VDD to at least 12 V above V7 (e.g., V7 = 20 V → VDD ≥ 32 V), then held for >10 ms. The BQ7720701DSSR automatically exits CTM when the VDD–V7 differential drops below 10 V. This feature eliminates manual timer overrides and accelerates production test throughput without modifying hardware.
Does the BQ7720701DSSR support latch functionality, and how is recovery handled?
No, the BQ7720701DSSR does not include latch functionality - it uses auto-recovery behavior. When a fault condition clears (e.g., cell voltage returns within OVP/UVP thresholds or thermistor resistance rises above OT threshold), the BQ7720701DSSR deasserts COUT and DOUT after the delay timer expires. Recovery requires no power cycle or external reset signal, enabling seamless resumption of pack operation after transient faults - critical for consumer tools and vacuums.
