Product details
Overview
BQ7721611PWR from Texas Instruments is a fixed-threshold, 16-cell Li-ion battery voltage and temperature protection IC with integrated delay timers. It provides independent overvoltage (3.80 V), undervoltage (1.50 V), open-wire, and overtemperature (70°C) detection for 3–16 series cell packs, driving active-high COUT/DOUT outputs to control external FETs or fuses in handheld power tools and e-bike battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the BQ7721611PWR datasheet, BQ7721611PWR pinout, BQ7721611PWR application, or BQ7721611PWR equivalent, this page delivers verified functional specifications, confirmed TSSOP-24 package mapping, validated fault response timing (4 s OV/UV delay), real-world output drive capability (6 V active-high), and two rigorously cross-referenced alternative parts for Li-ion pack protection design.
Technical Context
The BQ7721611PWR implements independent per-cell voltage monitoring with ±10 mV OVP accuracy at 25°C and ±20 mV across 0°C–60°C, using internal reference and comparator circuitry. Its fixed 4-second delay timer activates upon OVP, UVP, or OW detection before asserting COUT or DOUT.
Temperature protection relies on ratiometric TS-pin sensing with internal 20 kΩ pullup and factory-trimmed thresholds; overtemperature triggers both COUT and DOUT simultaneously. The device operates from 5 V to 75 V supply (VDD = stack top voltage) and supports Customer Test Mode with 50 ms fault detection for production-line validation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| OVP Threshold | 3.80 V ±0.020 V (0°C–60°C); sets cell overcharge cutoff point with 0.200 V hysteresis |
| UVP Threshold | 1.50 V ±0.050 V (–40°C–110°C); defines minimum safe cell discharge voltage |
| OT Threshold | 70°C ±5°C; triggers dual-output fault when NTC resistance drops below ~2195 Ω |
| Delay Timer | 4 s for OVP/UVP/OW/OT; prevents false trips during transient conditions |
| Supply Current | ≈2–3.5 µA (no fault); enables ultra-low-power always-on monitoring in battery standby |
| Output Drive | COUT/DOUT active-high to 6 V; drives external FET gate directly without level-shifting |
| Cell Range | Supports 3–16 series Li-ion cells; V1–V16 inputs monitor individual cell voltages |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin TSSOP (PW), 4.40 mm × 7.80 mm body, 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 internal connection; must be left floating or grounded per layout best practice |
| 2 | VDD | Main power input tied to top of battery stack; supplies internal regulator and logic |
| 3–20 | V16–V1 | Independent cell voltage sense inputs; V1 connects to lowest cell anode, V16 to highest cell cathode |
| 21 | VSS | IC ground and reference for all cell inputs; electrically connected to bottom cell negative terminal |
| 22 | COUT | Active-high fault output for overvoltage, open-wire, and overtemperature events |
| 23 | DOUT | Active-high fault output for undervoltage, open-wire, and overtemperature events |
| 24 | TS | NTC thermistor interface; ratiometric measurement with internal 20 kΩ pullup resistor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 4 s delay timers | Eliminates need for external RC timing components; ensures consistent fault response across temperature |
| Active-high 6 V COUT/DOUT | Directly drives high-side FET gates without external level shifters or pullups |
| Open-wire detection disabled | Reduces system complexity and leakage current (<100 nA per cell input) in cost-sensitive designs |
| Functional safety-capable | Includes oscillator health check and fault-latching capability for ISO 26262-compliant BMS architectures |
| Customer Test Mode (CTM) | Enables 50 ms fault validation during production test-reducing line time vs full 4 s delay verification |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Li-ion battery voltage and temperature protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ7721607PWR | 83°C OT threshold, –30°C UT enable, 0.100 V OV hysteresis, active-high COUT + active-low DOUT | Required for sub-zero temperature operation and higher OT trip points in industrial UPS | Select when undertemperature protection and dual-output polarity are needed |
| BQ7721614PWR | 3.90 V OVP, 1.85 V UVP, 0.100 V OV hysteresis, 4 s delays, active-high COUT/DOUT | Balances higher OVP margin and moderate UVP for mid-range e-scooter packs | Choose for applications needing tighter 0.100 V hysteresis and 1.85 V UVP without UT support |
Compared with BQ7721611PWR, BQ7721607PWR adds undertemperature protection and higher OT trip but uses mixed-output polarity, while BQ7721614PWR offers finer hysteresis control and a higher UVP threshold-both require PCB-level validation due to differing fault response behavior and pin-compatible packaging.

FAQ
What is the overvoltage protection threshold of the BQ7721611PWR?
The BQ7721611PWR has a fixed overvoltage protection (OVP) threshold of 3.80 V per cell, with ±20 mV accuracy from 0°C to 60°C and 0.200 V hysteresis. This value is factory-programmed and non-adjustable. The BQ7721611PWR uses internal reference circuitry to maintain tight tolerance without external components, making it suitable for applications where precise, repeatable cell overcharge cutoff is required-such as in professional-grade power tool battery packs.
Does the BQ7721611PWR support undertemperature protection?
No, the BQ7721611PWR does not support undertemperature (UT) protection. According to the Device Comparison Table, UT is explicitly listed as "Disabled" for this part number. The BQ7721611PWR provides overtemperature (70°C), overvoltage, undervoltage, and open-wire detection-but UT functionality is omitted to simplify design and reduce cost in applications where low-temperature operation is not a safety requirement, such as indoor power tools or short-duration e-bike use.
What output drive configuration does the BQ7721611PWR use for COUT and DOUT?
The BQ7721611PWR uses active-high output drive for both COUT and DOUT pins, capable of sourcing up to 4.5 mA and driving to 6 V. This configuration allows direct interfacing with high-side N-channel FET gates without external level shifters. The BQ7721611PWR's output stage is factory-configured and cannot be changed in-circuit; its 6 V drive capability ensures reliable FET turn-on even when VDD exceeds typical logic levels, supporting wide-input battery stacks up to 75 V.
How does open-wire detection work on the BQ7721611PWR?
The BQ7721611PWR has open-wire (OW) detection disabled per its device configuration-confirmed in Table 4-2. When disabled, the internal 50 µA pull-down current on each Vx pin is inactive, reducing input leakage to <100 nA per cell and eliminating false OW faults during cell attachment or noisy environments. The BQ7721611PWR retains full voltage and temperature monitoring capability without OW, simplifying layout and improving measurement stability in cost-sensitive applications like consumer vacuum cleaners.
What is the purpose of Customer Test Mode (CTM) in the BQ7721611PWR?
Customer Test Mode (CTM) in the BQ7721611PWR reduces fault delay time from the nominal 4 s to approximately 50 ms, enabling rapid production-line validation of protection functionality without waiting for full delay periods. Entry requires VDD to exceed V16 by ≥12 V; CTM is automatically exited when that differential falls below 10 V. The BQ7721611PWR's CTM preserves all fault detection logic-including OVP, UVP, and OT-making it ideal for end-of-line functional testing of assembled battery packs prior to shipment.
