Product details
Overview
BQ7721613PWR 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 (4.25 V ±0.1 V hysteresis), undervoltage (2.0 V ±0.2 V hysteresis), open-wire, overtemperature (83°C), and undertemperature (–30°C) detection. Its active-high 6V COUT/DOUT outputs drive external FETs or fuses in cordless power tools and e-bike battery packs.
For engineers reviewing the BQ7721613PWR datasheet, BQ7721613PWR pinout, BQ7721613PWR application, or BQ7721613PWR equivalent, this page delivers verified functional specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal and timing behavior, and real-world implementation context for high-reliability battery pack safety design.
Technical Context
The BQ7721613PWR implements independent per-cell voltage monitoring across 16 series-connected Li-ion cells using precision analog comparators with ±10 mV OV accuracy at 25°C and ±20 mV over 0°C–60°C. Its internal delay timer (4 s for OV/UV/OW/OT) triggers fault outputs only after sustained violation - preventing false trips from transient noise or load surges.
Temperature protection relies on ratiometric TS-pin sensing with internal 20 kΩ pullup; it detects overtemperature at 83°C and undertemperature at –30°C via external NTC thermistor resistance thresholds. Open-wire detection applies 50 µA pulsed sink current to each Vx input, identifying broken cell connections by measuring voltage reversal relative to adjacent nodes.

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 16-cell architecture but with COUT active-high (6 V) and DOUT active-low; includes 83°C OT and –30°C UT. | Requires external pull-up on DOUT for logic-level interfacing; less suitable for dual-FET gate drive without added components. | Select when legacy system uses active-low fault signaling or when DOUT drives a dedicated low-side switch. |
| BQ7721614PWR | Lower OVP (3.9 V) and UVP (1.85 V); same 4 s delay, 83°C OT, and enabled open-wire detection. | Optimized for LFP or high-cycle-life NMC chemistries requiring tighter voltage windows; not suitable for standard NMC 4.2 V max. | Choose for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery packs where 3.9 V OVP prevents overcharge-induced gas generation. |

FAQ
What is the overvoltage protection threshold and accuracy of the BQ7721613PWR?
The BQ7721613PWR has a fixed overvoltage threshold of 4.25 V with ±0.1 V hysteresis. Its detection accuracy is ±10 mV at 25°C and ±20 mV across 0°C to 60°C. This precision enables reliable cell-level protection during constant-voltage charging without nuisance tripping, and the BQ7721613PWR maintains this specification without calibration or external components.
Does the BQ7721613PWR support undertemperature protection, and what is its threshold?
Yes, the BQ7721613PWR supports undertemperature protection at a fixed threshold of –30°C, implemented via the TS pin and an external NTC thermistor. The device uses ratiometric sensing with an internal 20 kΩ pullup resistor to detect resistance changes corresponding to this temperature point, and the BQ7721613PWR triggers both COUT and DOUT upon detection with a 4 s delay.
How does the BQ7721613PWR handle open-wire detection, and is it enabled by default?
The BQ7721613PWR performs open-wire detection by applying a 50 µA pulsed sink current to each Vx input every 128 ms and monitoring for voltage reversal (Vn < Vn−1 − 200 mV). This feature is enabled by default in the BQ7721613PWR and triggers both COUT and DOUT after a 4 s delay, providing fail-safe identification of broken cell interconnects without software intervention.
What are the output drive characteristics of COUT and DOUT on the BQ7721613PWR?
Both COUT and DOUT on the BQ7721613PWR are configured as active-high outputs capable of driving to 6 V with 4.5 mA source current. They remain low during normal operation and assert high during faults - enabling direct interface with standard 5 V logic-level FET gate drivers. The BQ7721613PWR does not require external pull-ups or level shifters for typical battery pack implementations.
Can the BQ7721613PWR be used in 12-cell or 14-cell battery configurations?
Yes, the BQ7721613PWR supports 3- to 16-series cell configurations. For 12-cell or 14-cell stacks, unused Vx pins (e.g., V15–V16 for 12-cell) must be connected to VSS or left floating per TI layout guidelines; the BQ7721613PWR automatically disables monitoring on unconnected inputs and maintains full protection functionality across the active cell range without configuration changes.
