Product details
Overview
BQ7790509PWR from Texas Instruments is a 3- to 5-series ultra-low-power lithium-ion battery protector IC implementing factory-programmed voltage, current, temperature, and open-wire protections without MCU control. It delivers ±10 mV overvoltage/undervoltage accuracy, 100 mV overcurrent discharge 2 threshold, 200 mV short-circuit discharge threshold, and supports stackable configurations up to 20-series cells for power tools and energy storage systems.
For engineers reviewing the BQ7790509PWR datasheet, BQ7790509PWR pinout, BQ7790509PWR application, or BQ7790509PWR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 5-cell support, 90-ms OCD2 delay, 700-ms SCD delay with load-removal+delay recovery, and TSSOP-20 package compatibility with PCB-level thermal management in high-reliability battery packs.
Technical Context
The BQ7790509PWR integrates independent low-side NMOS CHG and DSG FET drivers with programmable fault recovery logic, enabling cascaded stack architectures where upper-device CHGU/DSG outputs feed CTRC/CTRD pins of lower devices. Its analog front-end uses differential cell voltage sensing (VC1–VC5), bidirectional current sensing (SRP/SRN), and thermistor-based temperature monitoring (TS/VTB) with factory-trimmed thresholds.
It operates in NORMAL mode at 6 µA typical quiescent current and SHUTDOWN mode at ≤0.5 µA, with absolute maximum ratings including 36 V per cell input and 25 V VDD. Protection decisions are made autonomously using internal comparators and delay timers-no external microcontroller or firmware required.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ7790508PWR | OV=3900 mV, UV=2000 mV, OCD2=100 mV, SCD=200 mV, OTD/OTC=70°C/50°C | Lower voltage thresholds suit LFP or aged Li-ion cells; same 90-ms OCD2 delay | Select for wider state-of-charge window or legacy cell chemistry compatibility |
| BQ7790512PWR | OV=4175 mV, UV=2800 mV, OCD2=150 mV, SCD=300 mV, UTC=0°C | Higher UV and SCD thresholds reduce nuisance trips in high-noise industrial environments | Select for ruggedized applications where false discharge cutoff must be minimized |
Compared with BQ7790509PWR, BQ7790508PWR offers lower protection thresholds for conservative cell management, while BQ7790512PWR raises UV and SCD trip points to improve noise immunity-both retain identical TSSOP-20 packaging and stack control interface for drop-in layout reuse.

FAQ
What is the exact overvoltage and undervoltage threshold configuration of the BQ7790509PWR?
The BQ7790509PWR is factory-programmed with a 4250 mV overvoltage threshold and 2500 mV undervoltage threshold, both with ±10 mV accuracy at 25°C. These values are fixed and non-adjustable in-circuit; they correspond to the "BQ7790509" variant defined in TI's device comparison table and are verified in the Electrical Characteristics section of the SLUSCM3K datasheet.
Does the BQ7790509PWR support 5-cell (5S) battery configurations natively?
Yes, the BQ7790509PWR natively supports 3- to 5-series lithium-ion configurations without external components. Pin VC5 is actively used as the top-cell voltage sense input, and the CCFG pin is internally biased for 5S detection. This is confirmed in the Device Comparison table and Pin Functions section of the BQ77905 datasheet.
What are the OCD2 and SCD fault timing parameters for the BQ7790509PWR?
The BQ7790509PWR has a 100 mV overcurrent discharge 2 (OCD2) threshold with a 90 ms detection delay, and a 200 mV short-circuit discharge (SCD) threshold with a 700 ms delay. Both use "Load Removal + Delay" recovery, meaning the FETs remain off until load is removed and the delay expires-verified in Table 5-2 of the SLUSCM3K datasheet.
Can the BQ7790509PWR be used in stacked configurations beyond 5 cells?
Yes, the BQ7790509PWR supports stacking up to 20-series cells using its CHGU and DSG outputs to drive CTRC and CTRD inputs of lower devices. This cascaded architecture is explicitly documented in the Simplified Schematic and Detailed Description sections, and requires no additional logic or firmware.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the BQ7790509PWR have?
The BQ7790509PWR is supplied in a 20-pin TSSOP package (PW suffix) measuring 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) is 98.4°C/W, and it features an exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation-critical for sustained discharge currents in power tool applications.
