Product details
Overview
BQ7790522PWR from Texas Instruments is a 5-cell stackable lithium-ion battery protector IC implementing autonomous voltage, current, temperature, and open-wire protection without MCU control. It delivers ±10 mV overvoltage/undervoltage accuracy, 100 mV overcurrent discharge 2 threshold, and 300 ms overcurrent 2 delay - enabling robust pack-level safety in 14.8-V to 25.9-V power tool and light EV battery systems.
For engineers reviewing the BQ7790522PWR datasheet, BQ7790522PWR pinout, BQ7790522PWR application, or BQ7790522PWR equivalent, key selection considerations include its factory-programmed 4.25 V overvoltage / 2.8 V undervoltage thresholds, 70°C/50°C discharge/charge overtemperature limits, 20-pin TSSOP package with independent CHG/DSG FET drivers, and scalable stack architecture supporting up to 20-series cell configurations.
Technical Context
The BQ7790522PWR operates in NORMAL mode at 6 µA quiescent current and SHUTDOWN mode at ≤0.5 µA, using internal comparators and fixed-delay timers for autonomous fault response. Its 5-cell configuration is set via CCFG pin biasing, and it supports cascaded stacking via CHGU/CTRC/CTRD signals to extend protection to ≥6-series packs.
Protection execution relies on integrated low-side NMOS FET drivers (CHG/DSG) with 12 V typical on-voltage, 0.5 kΩ CHG off-resistance, and 16 Ω DSG off-resistance. Fault detection uses differential SRP/SRN sensing, VCx-based cell voltage monitoring, and TS/VTB-based NTC thermistor interface with programmable temperature thresholds referenced to VTB.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Cell Count Support | Factory-configured for 5-series Li-ion stacks; scalable to 20-series via daisy-chained stacking |
| Overvoltage Threshold | 4.25 V ±10 mV - enables precise cell balancing guardbanding for 4.2 V nominal cells |
| Undervoltage Threshold | 2.80 V ±18 mV - prevents deep discharge damage in high-drain applications like power tools |
| OCD2 Threshold & Delay | 100 mV with 350 ms delay - detects sustained overload before thermal runaway in motor-driven loads |
| OTD/OTC Thresholds | 70°C discharge / 50°C charge - matches common NTC thermistor curves for accurate thermal shutdown |
| Quiescent Current | 6 µA in NORMAL mode - extends shelf life and reduces self-discharge in standby battery packs |
| Package | TSSOP-20 (6.5 mm × 4.4 mm) - surface-mount compatible with automated PCB assembly and thermal relief pads |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-pin TSSOP (PW), body size 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, rated for –40°C to +85°C operating temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 1) | Power supply input | Accepts 3–25 V; powers internal regulators and logic; POR triggers at 4 V rising edge |
| VC1–VC5 (Pins 7,6,5,4,3) | Cell voltage sense inputs | Monitor individual cell voltages from bottom to top of 5-cell stack; VC5 must connect to VC4 on BQ77904 only |

| CHG/DSG (Pins 13,11) | Low-side FET gate drivers | Drive external NMOS FETs; CHG controls charge path, DSG controls discharge path; 1 mA drive capability |
| CHGU/CTRC/CTRD (Pins 12,18,19) | Stack control interface | Enable cascading: CHGU feeds upper device's CHG signal to lower device's CTRC; CTRD disables DSG |
| TS/VTB (Pins 15,16) | NTC thermistor interface | TS accepts thermistor voltage divider; VTB provides 2.5 V bias reference; thresholds defined as % of VTB |
| LD (Pin 14) | Load removal detection input | Monitors PACK– node; triggers recovery when load disconnect exceeds 1.3 V threshold |
| CCFG (Pin 17) | Cell count configuration | Determines 3/4/5-cell mode via analog voltage ratio to AVDD; 5-cell mode requires floating or mid-bias |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ7790521PWR | Lower overvoltage threshold (3.70 V) and reduced OCD2 delay (20 ms); same 5-cell configuration and TSSOP-20 package | Better suited for LFP chemistries requiring tighter voltage windows; less margin for Li-ion overvoltage tolerance | Select BQ7790521PWR only when 3.7 V OV threshold aligns with cell chemistry and safety margins |
| BQ7790512PWR | Higher undervoltage threshold (2.80 V) with 400 mV hysteresis; identical OCD2/OTD/OTC settings and pinout | Improved deep-discharge prevention in high-self-discharge cells; longer UV recovery time due to larger hysteresis | Prefer BQ7790512PWR for applications where post-fault reconnection stability outweighs faster UV recovery |
Compared with BQ7790522PWR, BQ7790521PWR trades overvoltage margin for LFP compatibility, while BQ7790512PWR enhances undervoltage hysteresis for stable recovery - both retain identical stacking, thermal, and current-sense architecture but require validation of threshold alignment with cell voltage profiles.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed overvoltage threshold for BQ7790522PWR?
The BQ7790522PWR has a factory-programmed overvoltage threshold of 4.25 V ±10 mV at 25°C, with 100 mV hysteresis. This setting is laser-trimmed during manufacturing and cannot be modified in-circuit. The threshold remains stable across –40°C to +85°C with ±40 mV total error, making it suitable for 4.2 V nominal Li-ion cells requiring tight voltage guardbands.
How does BQ7790522PWR support 5-cell battery stacks without external configuration?
The BQ7790522PWR detects 5-cell configuration automatically via its CCFG pin, which senses an internal bias condition indicating five series-connected cells. No external resistors or jumpers are needed - the device configures its VC1–VC5 input range, protection thresholds, and timing parameters accordingly upon power-up.
Can BQ7790522PWR be used in a stacked configuration with other BQ77905 variants?
Yes, BQ7790522PWR supports daisy-chained stacking with any BQ77905 variant (e.g., BQ7790521PWR or BQ7790512PWR) using CHGU, CTRC, and CTRD pins. However, mixed-variant stacks require matching overtemperature and undervoltage thresholds to ensure consistent fault propagation - TI recommends using identical part numbers per stack for production designs.
What is the purpose of the LD pin on BQ7790522PWR?
The LD (Load Detection) pin on BQ7790522PWR monitors the PACK– node to detect physical load removal after a protection event. When voltage at LD rises above 1.3 V, the device initiates automatic recovery - re-enabling CHG/DSG FETs after configured delays. This eliminates need for external reset circuitry in consumer battery packs.
Does BQ7790522PWR include functional safety documentation?
Yes, BQ7790522PWR is functional safety-capable with documentation including FIT rate calculation, failure mode effects analysis (FMEA), and diagnostic coverage metrics. These materials assist system designers in meeting ISO 26262 ASIL-B requirements for automotive and industrial battery applications - available through TI's functional safety portal upon request.
