Product details
Overview
BQ7720702DSSR from Texas Instruments is a dedicated Li-ion battery cell voltage and temperature protection IC for 3- to 7-series battery packs, featuring ±10 mV overvoltage detection accuracy at 25°C, 4 s internal delay timer for overvoltage/undervoltage/open-wire/overtemperature faults, and active-high 6 V COUT/DOUT outputs. It is used in cordless power tools and e-bike battery management systems to prevent cell damage during charge/discharge cycles.
For engineers reviewing the BQ7720702DSSR datasheet, BQ7720702DSSR pinout, BQ7720702DSSR application, or BQ7720702DSSR equivalent, key selection considerations include its fixed 4 s fault delay, 4.275 V overvoltage threshold, 2.0 V undervoltage threshold, 80°C overtemperature trip point, and WSON-12 (DSS) package with 3 mm × 2 mm footprint.
Technical Context
The BQ7720702DSSR implements independent per-cell voltage monitoring across up to seven series-connected Li-ion cells, with dedicated comparators for overvoltage (OVP), undervoltage (UVP), and open-wire (OW) detection. Its internal delay timer initiates on fault detection and triggers COUT for OVP/OW/OT and DOUT for UVP/OW/OT after expiration.
Temperature protection uses an NTC thermistor connected to the TS pin, with ratiometric sensing against an internal 20 kΩ pull-up; overtemperature is detected when external resistance falls below 2195 Ω (corresponding to 80°C). The device supports Customer Test Mode (CTM) with 50 ms fault delay for production-line validation.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ7720704DSSR | Same package and OVP/UVP thresholds, but COUT = open-drain active-pulldown, DOUT = active-high 6 V; 83°C OT trip. | Suitable for designs requiring asymmetric output drive (e.g., COUT controlling P-FET, DOUT driving MCU interrupt). | Select when mixed-output polarity is needed for legacy FET driver compatibility or specific fault isolation schemes. |
| BQ7720701DSSR | Same package and output drive, but 1 s OVP/UVP delay and 2.0 V UVP (identical), 80°C OT (identical), 4.275 V OVP (identical). | Better suited for applications needing faster response to overvoltage events, such as high-power fast-charging systems. | Choose when 4 s delay is too conservative and system-level fault tolerance allows shorter timing margins. |
Compared with BQ7720702DSSR, BQ7720704DSSR offers flexible output polarity at the cost of reduced OT margin (83°C vs. 80°C), while BQ7720701DSSR trades delay robustness for responsiveness-both require revalidation of fault-handling firmware and FET gate drive timing.

FAQ
What is the overvoltage protection threshold of the BQ7720702DSSR?
The BQ7720702DSSR has a fixed overvoltage protection (OVP) threshold of 4.275 V per cell, with ±10 mV accuracy at 25°C. This value is factory-programmed and cannot be adjusted externally. It applies to all seven cell inputs (V1–V7) and triggers the COUT pin after the 4 s internal delay timer expires if any monitored cell exceeds this level.
Does the BQ7720702DSSR support both NTC and PTC thermistors for temperature monitoring?
Yes, the BQ7720702DSSR supports both NTC and PTC thermistors via the TS pin. For NTC, it uses an internal 20 kΩ pull-up resistor and detects overtemperature when external resistance falls below 2195 Ω (80°C). For PTC, the required external resistance is 111.1 kΩ. The device does not auto-detect thermistor type-selection is made during part ordering and configuration.
How does the open-wire detection function work on the BQ7720702DSSR?
The BQ7720702DSSR applies a 50 µA pulsed sink current to each Vx pin every 128 ms for 128 µs. If Vn < Vn−1 − 200 mV (or V1 − VSS < 500 mV), an open-wire condition is flagged. After the 4 s delay timer expires, both COUT and DOUT go active. Recovery requires restoring the physical connection and clearing all other active faults.
Can the BQ7720702DSSR be used in a 3-cell battery pack?
Yes, the BQ7720702DSSR supports 3- to 7-series Li-ion configurations. Unused Vx pins (e.g., V4–V7 in a 3-cell pack) must be connected to VSS. The device automatically adapts its monitoring window and does not require external configuration changes-only correct physical wiring per the simplified schematic in the datasheet.
What is the purpose of Customer Test Mode (CTM) in the BQ7720702DSSR?
Customer Test Mode (CTM) reduces the fault delay timer from 4 s to 50 ms, enabling rapid functional validation during battery pack manufacturing. CTM is activated by applying VDD ≥ V7 + 12 V (minimum 13 V differential). It is intended solely for production testing and must not be used in end-equipment operation due to safety implications.
