Product details
Overview
BQ78350DBT-R1 from Texas Instruments is a Li-ion and LiFePO4 battery management controller, serving as the companion to bq769x0 analog front-end (AFE) devices. It delivers CEDV-based fuel gauging, SMBus 1.1 host communication, configurable protection (voltage/current/temperature), lifetime data logging, and SHA-1 authentication - deployed in e-bikes, power tools, and UPS systems.
For engineers reviewing the BQ78350DBT-R1 datasheet, BQ78350DBT-R1 pinout, BQ78350DBT-R1 application, or BQ78350DBT-R1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 30-pin TSSOP package, dual-oscillator architecture (4.194 MHz + 32.768 kHz), 16-bit ADC with 13–14-bit effective resolution, SMBus slave address programmability via SMBA, and integration with external AFE for cell voltage/current/temperature monitoring.
Technical Context
The BQ78350DBT-R1 operates as a system-level BMS controller-not a standalone monitor-relying on digital register reads from companion bq76920/bq76930/bq76940 AFEs for cell voltages, current (via SRP/SRN delta-sigma coulomb counter), and thermistor data. Its internal CoolRISC CPU executes CEDV fuel-gauge algorithms and manages protection logic across up to 15-series cells.
It implements three power modes (NORMAL, SLEEP, SHUTDOWN) with sub-1 µA shutdown current, uses VEN-controlled BAT translation for low-power voltage sensing, and supports optional LED/LCD display drive via five segment outputs (LED1–LED5) with 3 mA sink capability. Authentication and data integrity are enforced via SHA-1 and SMBus PEC.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery management controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ78350-R1 | Requires external bq769x0 AFE; 30-pin TSSOP; SMBus-only interface; integrated CEDV algorithm | Targeted for designs where AFE/controller separation enables flexible cell count scaling (3–15S) and layout optimization | Select when system requires field-upgradable firmware, SHA-1 security, and lifetime data logging without host MCU overhead |
| BQ76940 | Integrated AFE + basic controller in single 48-pin TQFP; includes built-in cell balancing FETs; no CEDV or SHA-1 | Suitable for fixed-cell-count (9–15S) applications where space constraints favor monolithic solution over two-chip architecture | Choose when minimizing board area and component count outweighs need for advanced gauging, authentication, or long-term diagnostics |
Compared with BQ78350DBT-R1, the BQ76940 integrates sensing and control but sacrifices CEDV accuracy, secure authentication, and non-volatile lifetime logging - making it appropriate for cost-optimized, lower-complexity packs where host MCU handles higher-layer BMS functions.

FAQ
What is the role of the BQ78350DBT-R1 in a battery management system?
The BQ78350DBT-R1 serves as the intelligent controller in a two-chip BMS architecture, paired exclusively with bq769x0 AFEs. It executes CEDV fuel gauging, interprets AFE-collected cell voltage/current/temperature data, enforces configurable protection thresholds, logs lifetime diagnostics, and communicates results via SMBus - while offloading precision analog sensing to the AFE.
Does the BQ78350DBT-R1 include integrated cell balancing circuitry?
No, the BQ78350DBT-R1 does not contain integrated balancing FETs or drivers. It computes cell imbalance conditions and signals balancing commands to external circuitry or relies on the companion bq769x0 AFE (e.g., bq76940) which provides passive cell balancing control. Balancing execution is handled outside the BQ78350DBT-R1 die.
How does the BQ78350DBT-R1 achieve accurate state-of-charge estimation?
The BQ78350DBT-R1 uses Compensated End-of-Discharge Voltage (CEDV) technology - a model-based algorithm that dynamically adjusts voltage thresholds for remaining capacity based on real-time temperature, load current, and battery aging. It combines this with coulomb counting from the bq769x0 AFE's integrating ADC and self-discharge compensation to maintain >98% SoC accuracy over 500+ cycles.
Can the BQ78350DBT-R1 operate without an external AFE?
No - the BQ78350DBT-R1 is architecturally dependent on a bq769x0-series AFE (bq76920, bq76930, or bq76940). It lacks native ADCs for direct cell voltage measurement or high-precision current sensing. All cell-level analog data is acquired by the AFE and transferred digitally to the BQ78350DBT-R1 via SDA/SCL interface for processing and decision-making.
What are the SMBus addressing options for the BQ78350DBT-R1?
The BQ78350DBT-R1 supports eight unique SMBus slave addresses via resistor-divider configuration on SMBA (Pin 30). The device samples SMBA voltage at power-on reset or system-present detection to select one of eight predefined addresses (0x0B–0x12), enabling multiple BQ78350DBT-R1 devices on the same bus without address conflict.
