Product details
Overview
BQ7791500PWR from Texas Instruments is a stackable ultra-low power primary protector IC for 3- to 5-series Li-ion/Li-polymer battery packs, delivering autonomous cell balancing, HIBERNATE mode (2 µA), ±10 mV overvoltage accuracy, and independent CHG/DSG FET drivers - deployed in e-bike and power tool battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the BQ7791500PWR datasheet, BQ7791500PWR pinout, BQ7791500PWR application, or BQ7791500PWR equivalent, key selection criteria include factory-programmed protection thresholds (OV=4.2 V, UV=2.9 V), TSSOP-24 package compatibility, 36-V absolute max per cell input, and support for scalable stacking up to 20-series configurations.
Technical Context
The BQ7791500PWR implements a fully autonomous protection architecture with no MCU required: voltage (OV/UV), current (OCD1/OCD2/SCD), temperature (OTC/OTD/UTC/UTD), and open-wire detection are all handled internally using factory-trimmed thresholds and resistor-programmable delays. Its stackable interface uses LPWR/PRES signaling and CBO/CBI daisy-chaining to coordinate multi-device operation.
It integrates smart passive cell balancing with internal 50-mA FETs and supports external FETs for higher balancing current; HIBERNATE mode disables all protections except wake-up logic, reducing quiescent current to 2 µA while retaining state retention via VDD-supplied bias. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C with 3-V to 25-V supply range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Quiescent Current | 8 µA (NORMAL), 2 µA (HIBERNATE) - enables multi-year shelf life in shipped battery packs without compromising protection readiness |
| Overvoltage Threshold | 4.200 V ±10 mV - factory-programmed for precise cell-level safety margin at full charge |
| Undervoltage Threshold | 2.900 V ±18 mV - prevents deep discharge damage in high-drain applications like robotic vacuums |
| Cell Balancing Current | Up to 50 mA (internal FETs) - corrects cell-to-cell imbalance autonomously without host intervention |
| Stacking Support | 3–5 series per device; up to 20+ series via daisy-chain - eliminates need for custom firmware in multi-cell BMS designs |
| Protection Delay Config | Resistor-programmable OCD1/OCD2 delays (e.g., 60 ms default) - allows tuning response time to match pack impedance and load profile |
| Thermal Protection | OTD = 65°C / OTC = 45°C with 10-kΩ NTC bias - provides differentiated charge/discharge thermal cutoff for safe fast-charging cycles |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 package (7.70 mm × 4.40 mm), 0.65-mm pitch, exposed thermal pad; designed for compact, thermally efficient PCB layout in space-constrained battery modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, VSS | Power supply and analog ground | Primary power domain for internal logic and sensing; requires local 1-µF ceramic decoupling |
| VC0–VC5 | Cell voltage sense inputs | Measure individual cell voltages across 3–5 series cells; support open-wire fault detection on each node |
| SRP/SRN | Differential current sense inputs | Monitor pack current via external sense resistor; enable OCD1/OCD2/SCD protection with ±10% threshold accuracy |
| CHG/DSG | Low-side NMOS FET drivers | Directly control external charge/discharge FETs; 12-V typical gate drive ensures robust turn-on under low-VDD conditions |
| CBI/CBO | Cell balancing enable/control | CBI enables balancing per device; CBO signals upper-tier devices in stacked configuration - enables coordinated balancing across stacks |
| PRES/LPWR | HIBERNATE mode control | PRES high = NORMAL mode; floating = HIBERNATE; LPWR connects to lower device's PRES for inter-device wake coordination |
| CTRC/CTRD | FET override control inputs | Allow external host or cascaded device to force CHG/DSG state override - critical for system-level fault escalation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Autonomous cell balancing | Integrated 50-mA balancing FETs with programmable hysteresis (50–200 mV) eliminate need for external balancing controllers |
| HIBERNATE mode | 2-µA quiescent current with PRES-controlled entry/exit - extends shelf-life of pre-charged battery packs without manual reset |
| Stackable architecture | LPWR/PRES and CBO/CBI daisy-chain interface enables seamless expansion from 3- to 20+-series without redesigning protection logic |
| Factory-programmed thresholds | Fixed OV=4.200 V, UV=2.900 V, OTD=65°C, OTC=45°C - removes calibration burden and ensures consistent safety compliance across production lots |
| Independent CHG/DSG drivers | Dual low-side gate drivers support asymmetric protection (e.g., disable charging while permitting discharge during thermal faults) |
Applications
| Power Tools | e-Bikes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar primary battery protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ7791501PWR | OV=4.250 V, OTC=50°C, UTD=–20°C - tighter thermal thresholds and higher overvoltage setpoint | Better suited for high-temperature environments (e.g., outdoor power equipment) requiring extended charge window | Select when pack chemistry tolerates 4.25-V charge ceiling and ambient operating range exceeds 55°C |
| BQ7791502PWR | Identical OV/UV thresholds to BQ7791500PWR but with 70-ms OCD1 delay (vs. 60 ms) and same thermal thresholds | Provides longer transient tolerance before discharge cutoff - beneficial for high-inrush motor loads | Choose for applications with brief current spikes (e.g., brushless motor startup) where false OCD1 trips must be minimized |

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed overvoltage threshold for BQ7791500PWR?
The BQ7791500PWR has a factory-programmed overvoltage threshold of 4.200 V ±10 mV at 25°C, optimized for standard NMC and NCA lithium-ion cells. This value is laser-trimmed during manufacturing and cannot be adjusted in-system. The BQ7791500PWR datasheet specifies this as a fixed parameter with guaranteed accuracy across –40°C to +85°C operating range.
Does BQ7791500PWR support stacking beyond 5-series cell configurations?
Yes - the BQ7791500PWR supports scalable stacking: a single device handles 3–5 series cells, and up to four devices can be daisy-chained via LPWR/PRES and CBO/CBI pins to protect up to 20-series configurations. Each added device extends the voltage monitoring range by its supported cell count, maintaining autonomous operation without host controller involvement.
How does HIBERNATE mode function on BQ7791500PWR?
HIBERNATE mode on BQ7791500PWR reduces quiescent current to 2 µA by disabling all protection functions except wake-up circuitry. It activates when the PRES pin is left floating and exits when PRES is driven above 1.5 V. During HIBERNATE, the device retains configuration state and resumes full protection within 10 ms of wake signal - critical for battery pack shipping and long-term storage.
Can BQ7791500PWR perform cell balancing without external components?
Yes - the BQ7791500PWR integrates internal FETs capable of up to 50 mA balancing current per cell, requiring only external RC filters (RINI = 33 Ω, CINI = 1 µF) per channel. No external balancing FETs or driver circuitry are needed for standard applications; external FETs are optional only when >50 mA balancing current is required.
What package type and footprint does BQ7791500PWR use?
The BQ7791500PWR uses a TSSOP-24 package with nominal body dimensions of 7.70 mm × 4.40 mm and 0.65-mm lead pitch. It features an exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation and is compatible with standard reflow soldering processes. The pinout is documented in TI's SLUSCU0L datasheet Figure 7-1 and Table 7-1.
