Product details
Overview
BQ7791502PW from Texas Instruments is a stackable ultra-low power primary protector IC for 3- to 5-series Li-ion/Li-polymer battery packs, implementing autonomous voltage (±10 mV OV/±18 mV UV accuracy), current (OCD1: –10 to –85 mV; SCD: –40 to –340 mV), and temperature (OTD: 65°C; OTC: 45°C) protections with integrated passive cell balancing up to 50 mA. It enables HIBERNATE mode (2 µA) for storage and supports load removal detection in e-bike and power tool battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the BQ7791502PW datasheet, BQ7791502PW pinout, BQ7791502PW application, or BQ7791502PW equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions per TSSOP-24 package, confirmed protection thresholds specific to the BQ7791502 variant, and real-world implementation constraints for stacked pack designs requiring autonomous cell balancing and ultra-low quiescent current operation.
Technical Context
The BQ7791502PW implements a fully autonomous protection architecture with factory-programmed thresholds: overvoltage at 4.200 V (±10 mV), undervoltage at 2.900 V (±18 mV), and open-wire detection enabled with 100-nA sink current configuration. Its dual overcurrent discharge stages (OCD1: 70 ms delay; OCD2: 70 ms delay) and short-circuit discharge (120 µs delay) are resistor-programmable via OCDP–VSS.
It uses independent low-side NMOS CHG and DSG FET drivers (VFETON = 11–14 V, RDSGOFF = 10–16 Ω), supports cascade stacking via LPWR–PRES interconnect, and executes smart passive balancing using internal FETs with 50-mA max current and 100-mV hysteresis (VOV–VFC). The device operates across –40°C to +85°C with 36-V absolute max cell input rating.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed overvoltage threshold for BQ7791502PW?
The BQ7791502PW has a factory-programmed overvoltage threshold of 4.200 V ±10 mV at 25°C, with 200-mV hysteresis. This value is fixed and cannot be adjusted externally; it is optimized for standard 4.2-V Li-ion cells and verified across –40°C to +85°C operating range per TI SLUSCU0L datasheet Section 6.
Does BQ7791502PW support stacking for more than 5-series battery configurations?
Yes, BQ7791502PW supports stacking: a single device handles 3S–5S natively, and up to four BQ7791502PW units can be cascaded via LPWR–PRES and CBO–CBI interfaces to protect ≥6S packs (up to 20S). Each upper device's LPWR connects to the lower device's PRES, and CBO drives the next CBI-no external logic is required for coordination.
How is the 70-ms overcurrent discharge 1 (OCD1) delay set on BQ7791502PW?
The 70-ms OCD1 delay on BQ7791502PW is set by connecting a resistor from the OCDP pin to VSS. Per Table 6-1 and Section 8.5, this variant uses a 70-ms option; the exact resistor value is determined by the OCDP current–resistance relationship in the datasheet and must match TI's recommended tolerance (±1%) for timing accuracy.
Can BQ7791502PW perform cell balancing without an external microcontroller?
Yes, BQ7791502PW performs fully autonomous passive cell balancing using its integrated FETs-no MCU or firmware is needed. When CBI is pulled low, the device executes a smart algorithm that alternates balancing across odd/even cell groups every 521 ms, delivering up to 50 mA per cell with 100-mV hysteresis (VOV–VFC) to correct imbalance without external intervention.
What is the maximum absolute voltage rating per cell input on BQ7791502PW?
The BQ7791502PW has a 36-V absolute maximum rating on all cell voltage inputs (VC0–VC5), as specified in Section 8.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings. This allows safe operation with up to 5-series Li-ion (nominal 18.5 V, max 21 V) while providing robust margin against transients, ESD, and layout-induced spikes in high-vibration applications like power tools.
