Product details
Overview
BQ7790522PW from Texas Instruments is a 5-cell stackable 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, and 70°C/50°C overtemperature discharge/charge thresholds in a 20-pin TSSOP package - deployed in power tools and light electric vehicles.
For engineers reviewing the BQ7790522PW datasheet, BQ7790522PW pinout, BQ7790522PW application, or BQ7790522PW equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5-series cell support, independent CHG/DSG low-side NMOS drivers, 6 µA normal-mode current, and cascading interface for ≥6-series stacks - all validated for industrial-grade battery pack protection design.
Technical Context
The BQ7790522PW operates as a standalone analog protector with no firmware or host dependency. Its protection logic uses internal comparators with fixed delay timers (e.g., 1 s OV/UV delay, 350 ms OCD2 delay) and thermistor-based temperature sensing referenced to VTB output.
It supports 3–5 series cell configurations natively via CCFG pin state detection, and enables scalable ≥6-series protection through CHGU-to-CTRC cascading between stacked devices. All fault responses drive independent CHG and DSG outputs to control external low-side N-channel FETs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Cell Count Support | Factory-configured for 5-series Li-ion packs; CCFG pin detects configuration |
| Normal Mode Current | 6 µA typical - enables multi-year runtime in always-on battery protection |
| OCD2 Threshold | 100 mV (VSRP–VSRN) - sets primary discharge overcurrent trip at ~50 A with 2 mΩ sense resistor |
| OV/UV Accuracy | ±10 mV at 25°C - ensures tight cell balancing window without calibration |
| OTD/OTC Thresholds | 70°C discharge / 50°C charge - matches standard NTC thermistor curves using VTB bias |
| Shutdown Current | 0.5 µA max - preserves pack energy during storage or deep sleep |
| Package | TSSOP-20 (6.5 mm × 4.4 mm) - surface-mount compatible with automated PCB assembly |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-pin TSSOP (PW), 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm body size, JEDEC MO-153 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| CHGU (Pin 12) | Upper-device CHG signal output | Used in stacked configurations to feed CHG signal to CTRC of lower device |
| CTRC/CTRD (Pins 18,19) | FET override control inputs | Enable/disable CHG/DSG drivers externally; support cascaded stack control |
| TS (Pin 15) | Thermistor measurement input | Connects to NTC thermistor; referenced to VTB for temperature threshold calculation |
| VTB (Pin 16) | Thermistor bias output | Provides regulated 2.5 V reference for TS input; enables ratio-metric temperature sensing |
| LD (Pin 14) | Load removal detection input | Detects open PACK– connection; triggers fault if voltage drops below 1.3 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stackable architecture | Supports ≥6-series configurations via CHGU→CTRC cascading - eliminates need for master controller |
| Independent CHG/DSG drivers | Separate low-side NMOS gate drivers allow asymmetric charge/discharge disable - critical for safe Li-ion operation |
| Open-wire detection | Monitors VCx–VCx−1 voltage drop; 500 mV threshold with 100 mV hysteresis - detects broken interconnects before cell imbalance |
| Functional safety documentation | TI provides FIT rate data, failure mode analysis, and diagnostic coverage reports - accelerates ISO 26262 ASIL-B system certification |
| Customer Test Mode (CTM) | Enables fault simulation and timing validation via VDD-triggered entry - reduces production test cycle time |
Applications
| Power Tools | Garden Tools |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery protector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ7790521PW | Lower overvoltage threshold (3.7 V vs. 4.25 V); same 5-cell support and pinout | Better suited for LFP or high-safety-margin Li-ion chemistries requiring tighter OV clamp | Select when cell chemistry demands reduced overvoltage trip point without changing layout |
| BQ7790512PW | Higher undervoltage threshold (2.8 V vs. 2.8 V nominal, but 400 mV hysteresis vs. 200 mV); identical package and pinout | Preferred for applications needing aggressive UV recovery to prevent premature shutdown under load | Choose when battery load profiles cause transient voltage sag that must not trigger UV fault |
Compared with BQ7790522PW, BQ7790521PW offers lower overvoltage protection for conservative chemistries, while BQ7790512PW provides wider UV hysteresis to suppress nuisance trips - both retain identical 20-pin TSSOP packaging and cascading capability.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed overvoltage threshold for BQ7790522PW?
The BQ7790522PW has a factory-programmed overvoltage threshold of 4.25 V (4250 mV) with 100 mV hysteresis and 1-second detection delay. This value is fixed per device variant and cannot be adjusted in-circuit - confirmed in Table 5-2 of the SLUSCM3K datasheet revision K.
Does BQ7790522PW support 6-series or higher battery configurations?
Yes, BQ7790522PW supports ≥6-series configurations via stacking: the CHGU output of an upper device connects to the CTRC input of the device below it, enabling coordinated CHG/DSG control across multiple BQ7790522PW units - validated for up to 20-series stacks per TI documentation.
What is the purpose of the CCFG pin on BQ7790522PW?
The CCFG pin on BQ7790522PW detects cell count configuration: floating (5-cell), grounded (3-cell), or AVDD-connected (4-cell). For BQ7790522PW, CCFG is internally biased to detect 5-series operation - confirmed by its inclusion in the BQ7790522 row of Table 5-2 and functional description in Section 8.1.
How does BQ7790522PW handle overtemperature discharge faults?
BQ7790522PW triggers overtemperature discharge (OTD) at 70°C using a ratio-metric threshold (20.56% of VTB) with 4.5-second detection delay and automatic DSG FET disable. Recovery occurs at 55°C (26.12% VTB) - values specified in Table 7-5 Electrical Characteristics and validated in Figure 7-3 of the datasheet.
Is BQ7790522PW pin-compatible with other BQ77905 variants?
Yes, all BQ77905 variants including BQ7790522PW use the identical 20-pin TSSOP (PW) package and share full pinout compatibility - differences are limited to factory-programmed protection thresholds and delays, not electrical or mechanical interfaces.
