Product details
Overview
BQ7791506PW 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), current (OCD1: –2500 mV, OCD2: –100 mV, SCD: –300 mV), and temperature (OTD: 65°C, OTC: 50°C) protections without MCU control. It delivers smart passive cell balancing up to 50 mA and operates at 2 µA in HIBERNATE mode - critical for e-bike and power tool battery longevity and safety.
For engineers reviewing the BQ7791506PW datasheet, BQ7791506PW pinout, BQ7791506PW application, or BQ7791506PW equivalent, key selection considerations include its factory-programmed 3.8 V overvoltage threshold with 200 mV hysteresis, load-removal recovery for OCD1/OCD2/SCD faults, and TSSOP-24 package compatibility with stacked multi-device configurations up to 20-series cells.
Technical Context
The BQ7791506PW implements independent low-side NMOS CHG and DSG FET drivers with programmable overcurrent delay via OCDP resistor, enabling precise discharge protection tuning. Its cascade interface (LPWR/PRES/CBO/CBI) supports daisy-chained stacking while maintaining autonomous operation per device.
Cell balancing is executed via integrated FETs with 50-mA max current and 50-mV step resolution between VCBTH and VCBTL thresholds; external FET support allows higher balancing currents. Temperature sensing uses a 10-kΩ NTC thermistor biased by VTB, with OTD/OTC/UTD/UTC thresholds set by analog mV-level detection referenced to VTB.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Quiescent Current | 2 µA in HIBERNATE mode - enables multi-year shelf life for shipped battery packs without self-discharge risk. |
| Overvoltage Threshold | 3.800 V ±10 mV - factory-programmed for tight cell voltage clamp in 3–5S Li-ion systems. |
| Undervoltage Threshold | 2.500 V ±18 mV - prevents deep discharge damage during high-load e-bike or power tool operation. |
| OCD1 Delay | 50 ms - resistor-programmable via OCDP pin, allowing trade-off between false-trigger immunity and fault response speed. |
| Cell Balancing Current | Up to 50 mA - sufficient for passive balancing of 3–5S packs with <50 mV inter-cell variance at full charge. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +85°C - supports industrial-grade operation in robotic vacuum cleaners and outdoor power equipment. |
| Max Cell Input Rating | 36 V absolute - ensures robustness against transient spikes in 10.8–72-V pack architectures. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 package (7.70 mm × 4.40 mm), 0.65-mm pitch, lead-free, RoHS-compliant - optimized for compact, high-density battery management PCB layouts with thermal relief via exposed pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | 3–25 V main supply rail; powers internal logic and drivers - requires 1-µF ceramic decoupling to VSS. |
| VC0–VC5 | Cell voltage sense inputs | Differential monitoring of 6 cell nodes (supports 3–5S via CCFG configuration); open-wire detection enabled. |
| SRP/SRN | Current sense differential inputs | Measures pack current via external shunt; enables OCD1/OCD2/SCD detection with ±20% accuracy above 20 mV. |
| DSG / CHG | Low-side FET gate drivers | Drive external NMOS FETs; DSG sinks up to 1 mA, CHG sources up to 1 mA - compatible with 1-MΩ gate resistors. |
| PRES / LPWR | HIBERNATE mode control | PRES high = NORMAL mode; floating = HIBERNATE; LPWR connects to lower device's PRES in stack - enables synchronized ultra-low-power state. |
| CBI / CBO | Cell balancing enable/control | CBI low = enable balancing; CBO drives upper device's CBI in stack - supports cascaded balancing across devices. |
| OCDP | OCD delay programming | Resistor-to-VSS sets OCD1/OCD2 delay (50 ms for BQ7791506); eliminates need for external timing capacitors. |
| TS / VTB | NTC thermistor interface | VTB provides 3.3-V bias; TS reads thermistor voltage - supports dual-threshold OTD/OTC/UTD/UTC protection with 10-kΩ reference. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Autonomous stackable architecture | Enables scalable 3S–20S protection using identical BQ7791506PW devices - no host MCU or firmware required for basic protection. |
| Smart passive cell balancing | Integrated 50-mA FETs with 50-mV VSTEP resolution balance cells only when voltage exceeds VCBTH - minimizes heat and power loss. |
| Load-removal recovery | Automatic reset of OCD1/OCD2/SCD faults upon load removal - eliminates manual reset requirement in consumer tools and e-bikes. |
| HIBERNATE mode | Reduces current to 2 µA and disables all protections except wake-up circuitry - ideal for long-term storage and shipping compliance. |
| Factory-programmed protection set | Fixed OV=3.8 V, UV=2.5 V, OTD=65°C, OTC=50°C, OCD1=–2500 mV, OCD2=–100 mV, SCD=–300 mV - eliminates field calibration effort. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar primary battery protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ7791508PW | Higher OV (4.2 V), longer OCD1 delay (1420 ms), –20°C UTD threshold | Better suited for high-voltage 5S Li-ion packs requiring extended overcurrent fault tolerance | Select for 48–72-V e-bike packs where slower fault response improves surge immunity |
| BQ7791514PW | Lower OV (3.65 V), tighter SCD threshold (–200 mV), 50-ms OCD1 delay | Optimized for high-safety 3S–4S power banks with fast short-circuit response | Choose when rapid SCD cutoff (<1 ms) and lower overvoltage clamp are mandatory |
Compared with BQ7791506PW, BQ7791508PW trades faster fault response for greater surge tolerance, while BQ7791514PW prioritizes precision low-voltage clamping and sub-millisecond short-circuit reaction - neither offers pin-compatible replacement without layout or resistor network changes.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed overvoltage threshold for BQ7791506PW?
The BQ7791506PW has a fixed overvoltage threshold of 3.800 V ±10 mV, with 200 mV hysteresis. This value is laser-trimmed during manufacturing and cannot be adjusted externally - ensuring consistent cell protection across production batches without calibration overhead.
Does BQ7791506PW support stacking for more than 5-series battery configurations?
Yes, BQ7791506PW supports stacking via its LPWR/PRES/CBO/CBI interface. Up to four BQ7791506PW devices can be cascaded to protect 6–20 series cells. Each device manages its local cell group autonomously, eliminating single-point failure risk in high-voltage packs.
How does the HIBERNATE mode function on BQ7791506PW?
HIBERNATE mode activates when the PRES pin is left floating, reducing quiescent current to 2 µA. In this state, all protections and balancing are disabled except wake-up circuitry. Exiting HIBERNATE requires driving PRES ≥1.5 V for >10 ms - enabling safe shipping and long-term storage of battery packs.
Can BQ7791506PW perform cell balancing without external components?
Yes, BQ7791506PW integrates cell balancing FETs capable of up to 50 mA per cell. No external FETs are required for balancing currents ≤50 mA. For higher currents, external FETs can be added using the CBO/CBI interface and RCB resistor - preserving design flexibility.
What is the purpose of the OCDP pin on BQ7791506PW?
The OCDP pin on BQ7791506PW allows resistor-based programming of overcurrent discharge 1 (OCD1) and OCD2 fault detection delays. For BQ7791506PW, a specific resistor value sets the 50-ms OCD1 delay - removing timing capacitor dependencies and improving board-level reliability.
