Five to Ten Series Cell Lithium-Ion or Lithium-Polymer Battery Protector
and Analog Front End
• 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 Series-Cell Primary
Protection
The bq77PL900 is a five to ten series cell lithium-ion
battery pack protector. The integrated I

C
• PMOS FET Drive for Charge and Discharge
communications interface allows the bq77PL900 also
FETs
to be as an analog front end (AFE) for a Host
• Capable of Operation with 1-m Ω Sense
controller. Two LDOs, one 5-V, 25-mA and one 3.3-V,
Resistor
25-mA, are also included and may be used to power
• Supply Voltage Range from 7 V to 50 V
a host controller or support circuitry.
• Low Supply Current of 450 µ A Typical
The bq77PL900 integrates a voltage translation
• Integrated 5-V, 25-mA LDO
system to extract battery parameters such as
individual cell voltages and charge/discharge current.
• Integrated 3.3-V, 25-mA LDO
Variables such as voltage protection thresholds and
• Stand-Alone Mode
detection delay times can be programmed by using
– Pack Protection Control and Recovery
the internal EEPROM.
– Individual Cell Monitoring
The bq77PL900 can act as a stand-alone
– Integrated Cell Balancing
self-contained battery protection system (stand-alone
mode). It can alternatively be combined with a host
– Programmable Threshold and Delay Time
microcontroller to offer fuel gauge or other battery
for
management capabilities to the host system
– Overvoltage
(host-control mode).
– Undervoltage
The bq77PL900 provides full safety protection for
– Overcurrent in Discharge
overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent in discharge,
and short circuit in discharge conditions. When the
– Short Circuit in Discharge
EEPROM programmable safety thresholds are
– Fixed Overtemperature Protection
reached, the bq77PL900 turns off the FET drive

C Interface to Host Controller
to configure the protection features.
– Analog Interface for Host Cell Measurement
The analog front end (AFE) outputs allow a host
and System Charge/Discharge Current
controller to observe individual cell voltages and
charge/discharge currents. The host controller ’ s
– Host-Controlled Protection Recovery
analog-to-digital converter connects to the
– Host-Controlled Cell Balancing
bq77PL900 to acquire these values.
Cell balancing can be performed autonomously, or
the host controller can activate it individually via a cell

bypass current is set via an external series resistor
and the internal FET-on resistance (typically 400 Ω ).
• Portable Test Equipment
Optionally, external bypass cell balance FETs can be
used for increased current capability.
