Product details
Overview
BQ7721607PWR from Texas Instruments is a fixed-threshold, 16-cell Li-ion battery voltage and temperature protection IC with integrated delay timers. It provides independent per-cell overvoltage (4.25 V ±10 mV at 25°C), undervoltage (2.5 V), overtemperature (83°C), and undertemperature (–30°C) detection, plus open-wire fault detection - all in a 24-pin TSSOP package for handheld power tools and e-bike battery packs.
For engineers reviewing the BQ7721607PWR datasheet, BQ7721607PWR pinout, BQ7721607PWR application, or BQ7721607PWR equivalent, this device delivers production-ready, functional-safety-capable cell monitoring with active-high 6V COUT/DOUT outputs, 4s OV/UV delay timing, and <1 µA quiescent current under no-fault conditions - critical for low-power, high-reliability battery management systems.
Technical Context
The BQ7721607PWR implements independent analog voltage comparators per cell input (V1–V16) with precision reference trimming, enabling ±10 mV OVP accuracy at 25°C and ±20 mV across 0°C to 60°C. Its internal oscillator drives fixed delay timers (4 s for OVP/UVP, 4 s for OW/OT) that trigger COUT or DOUT only after timeout - preventing false trips from transient spikes.
Temperature sensing uses ratiometric TS pin monitoring with internal 20 kΩ pullup and external NTC thermistor; OT threshold is factory-set to 83°C and UT to –30°C. Output drive is configured as active-high CMOS with 6V capability on both COUT and DOUT, supporting direct interface to external FET gate drivers or fuse control circuits without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| OVP Threshold | 4.25 V ±10 mV at 25°C - enables precise high-voltage cutoff before cell degradation in 16S Li-ion stacks. |
| UVP Threshold | 2.5 V - prevents deep discharge damage to cells in cordless power tool applications. |
| OT / UT Thresholds | 83°C / –30°C - factory-trimmed thresholds for thermal runaway prevention and low-temp charge blocking. |
| Delay Timing | 4 s OVP/UVP, 4 s OW/OT - fixed internal timers eliminate external component dependency and reduce BOM count. |
| Quiescent Current | ≈1 µA (VCELL(ALL) < VOV) - extends shelf life and reduces self-discharge in standby battery packs. |
| Output Drive | Active-high CMOS, 6V capable - directly drives external MOSFET gates or logic-level fuses without pull-up resistors. |
| Cell Input Leakage | <100 nA (OW disabled) - minimizes measurement error and preserves cell balance in high-impedance sensing networks. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin TSSOP (PW), 4.40 mm × 7.80 mm body size, 0.65 mm lead pitch, leaded surface-mount format compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15, 16 | NC | No-connect pins - must be left floating; no internal connection or function. |
| 2 | VDD | Main unregulated supply input (5–75 V); powers internal regulator and sensing circuitry for up to 16-series stacks. |
| 3–20 | V16 to V1 | Independent cell voltage sense inputs - connect sequentially to top (V16) through bottom (V1) of stack; each monitors Vn–Vn−1 differential. |
| 21 | VSS | IC ground and stack negative reference - electrically tied to lowest cell's negative terminal. |
| 22 | COUT | Active-high 6V fault output - asserted on OVP, OW, OT, or UT; drives external protection FETs or fuses directly. |
| 23 | DOUT | Active-high 6V fault output - asserted on UVP, OW, OT, or UT; used for secondary disconnect or system alert signaling. |
| 24 | TS | NTC thermistor interface - ratiometric input with internal 20 kΩ pullup; requires external NTC for temperature monitoring. |
Key Features

Use Value: Prevents overvoltage-induced thermal runaway during fast charging and undervoltage-induced copper shunting during high-torque motor stalls. |
Use Scenario: 48 V nominal e-bike battery modules requiring robust overtemperature and open-wire detection across 13–14 series cells. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone protection AFE - detects 83°C OT and –30°C UT via NTC, triggers dual-output shutdown to isolate motor and charger interfaces. Use Value: Enables safe regenerative braking and low-temp charging compliance without microcontroller intervention. |
| Cordless Vacuum Cleaners | UPS Battery Backup |
|
Use Scenario: High-power, short-duration vacuum cleaner batteries with aggressive discharge profiles and tight thermal constraints.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ7721610PWR | Same 24-pin TSSOP package and 4.25 V OVP, but COUT is active-high 6V while DOUT is active-low - differs in output polarity configuration. | Requires external pull-up on DOUT for logic compatibility; better suited for designs needing asymmetric fault signaling. | Select BQ7721610PWR only if active-low DOUT is required for existing gate driver or latch circuit topology. |
| BQ7721613PWR | Identical OVP (4.25 V), UV (2.0 V), OT (83°C), and UT (–30°C), but uses 0.2 V hysteresis vs. 0.1 V - slightly wider recovery window. | Reduces chattering on marginal UVP events in high-noise power tool environments; trades tighter threshold control for stability. | Choose BQ7721613PWR when field reliability under EMI-heavy conditions outweighs need for minimal UV hysteresis. |
Compared with BQ7721607PWR, BQ7721610PWR offers mixed-output polarity for flexible interface design, while BQ7721613PWR provides enhanced noise immunity via doubled UV hysteresis - both retain identical cell count, timing, and thermal thresholds but differ in output behavior and hysteresis tuning.

FAQ
What is the overvoltage protection threshold of the BQ7721607PWR?
The BQ7721607PWR has a factory-programmed overvoltage protection (OVP) threshold of 4.25 V per cell, with ±10 mV accuracy at 25°C and ±20 mV accuracy from 0°C to 60°C. This value is permanently stored in one-time-programmable (OTP) memory and cannot be adjusted externally. The BQ7721607PWR uses this fixed threshold to trigger COUT after a 4 s delay when any monitored cell exceeds 4.25 V.
Does the BQ7721607PWR support undertemperature protection?
Yes, the BQ7721607PWR supports undertemperature (UT) protection with a factory-set threshold of –30°C, detected via the TS pin using an external NTC thermistor and internal 20 kΩ pullup resistor. When the thermistor resistance rises above the UT trip point, the device asserts both COUT and DOUT after a 4 s delay. The BQ7721607PWR does not require additional configuration to enable UT - it is active by default.
What output drive type does the BQ7721607PWR use on COUT and DOUT?
The BQ7721607PWR uses active-high CMOS output drive on both COUT and DOUT, capable of sourcing up to 4.5 mA at 6 V. This allows direct connection to gate drivers or logic inputs without external pull-up resistors. Unlike open-drain variants, the BQ7721607PWR's outputs actively drive high during faults and return low when cleared - confirmed by Device Comparison Table entry for BQ7721607PWR showing "Active High, 6V Drive".
Can the BQ7721607PWR monitor fewer than 16 cells?
Yes, the BQ7721607PWR supports 3- to 16-series cell configurations. Unused Vx pins (e.g., V16–V4 for a 3S pack) must be connected to VSS to prevent floating inputs, per TI's layout guidance. The device automatically adapts its monitoring range based on physical connections - no configuration register or strap pins are required. All BQ7721607PWR functionality remains fully operational regardless of actual cell count within the 3–16 range.
What is the purpose of Customer Test Mode (CTM) in the BQ7721607PWR?
Customer Test Mode (CTM) in the BQ7721607PWR reduces fault detection delay from 4 s to 50 ms by applying VDD ≥ V16 + 12 V, enabling rapid production-line validation of protection timing without modifying hardware. CTM is temporary and self-exiting: when VDD drops below the threshold, the device returns to normal 4 s timing. The BQ7721607PWR does not retain CTM state after power cycle - it always boots into normal mode.
