FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
The bq76925 Host controlled analog front end (AFE)
is part of a complete pack monitoring, balancing and
protection system for 3, 4, 5 or 6 series cell Lithium
batteries. The bq76925 allows a Host controller to
easily monitor individual cell voltages, pack current
and temperature. This information may be used by
the Host to determine unsafe or faulty operating
conditions such as over-voltage, under-voltage,
over-temperature and over-current, as well as cell
imbalance, state of charge and state of health
conditions.

etc.)
– UPS Systems
– Medical Equipment
– Portable Test Equipment
Cell input voltages are level shifted, multiplexed,
scaled and output for measurement by a Host ADC.
A low-drift calibrated reference voltage is provided on
a dedicated pin to enable accurate measurements.
The voltage across an external sense resistor is
amplified and output to a Host ADC for both charge
and discharge current measurements. Two gain
settings enable operation with a variety of sense
resistor values over a wide range of pack currents.
To enable temperature measurements by the Host,
the AFE provides a separate output pin for biasing an
external thermistor network. This output can be
switched on and off under Host control to minimize
power consumption.
The bq76925 includes a comparator with a
dynamically selectable threshold for monitoring
current. The comparator result is driven through an
open-drain output to alert the host when the threshold
is exceeded. This feature can be used to wake up the
Host on connection of the load, or to alert the Host to
a potential fault condition.
The bq76925 integrates cell balancing FETs that are
fully controlled by the Host. The balancing current is
set by external resistors up to a maximum value of 50
mA. These same FETs may be utilized in conjunction
with cell voltage measurements to detect an open
wire on a cell sense-line.
The Host communicates with the AFE via an I2C
interface. A packet CRC may optionally be used to
ensure robust operation. The device may be put into
a low-current sleep mode via the I2C interface and
awakened by pulling up the ALERT pin.

Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only. Functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “Recommended Operating
Conditions” is not implied. Exposure to absolute–maximum–rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Balancing current is not internally limited. The cell balancing operation is completely controlled by the Host processor, no automatic
function or time-out is included in the part. Care must be used to ensure that balancing current through the part is below the maximum
power dissipation limit. The Host algorithm is responsible for limiting thermal dissipation to package ratings.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
The bq76925 Host controlled analog front end (AFE) is part of a complete pack monitoring, balancing and
protection system for 3 to 6 series cell Lithium batteries. The bq76925 allows a Host controller to easily monitor
individual cell voltages, pack current and temperature. This information can be used by the Host to detect and
act on a fault condition caused when one or more of these parameters exceed the limits of the application. In
addition, this information may be used by the Host to determine end-of-charge, end-of-discharge and other
gas-gauging and state of health conditions.

POWER MODES
Power On Reset (POR)
When initially powering up the bq76925, the voltage on the BAT pin must exceed VPOR (4.7 V max) before the
device will turn on. Following this, the device will remain operational as long as the voltage on BAT remains
above VSHUT (3.6 V max). If the BAT voltage falls below VSHUT the device will shut down. Recovery from
shutdown occurs when BAT rises back above the VPOR threshold and is equivalent to a POR. The VPOR threshold
following a shutdown depends on the minimum level reached by BAT after crossing below VSHUT. If BAT does
not fall below ~1.4 V, a higher VPOR (7.5 V max) applies. This is illustrated in Figure 3.

Figure 3. Power On State vs VBAT
Following a power on reset, all volatile registers assume their default state. Therefore, care must be taken that
transients on the BAT pin during normal operation do not fall below VSHUT. To avoid this condition in systems
subject to extreme transients or brown-outs, a hold-up circuit such as the one shown in the functional diagram is
recommended. When a hold-up circuit is used, care must be taken to observe the BAT to VC6 maximum ratings.
Standby
Individual device functions such as cell translator, current amplifier, reference and current comparator can be
enabled and disabled under Host control by writing to the POWER_CTL register. This feature can be used to
save power by disabling functions that are unused. In the minimum power standby mode, all device functions can
be turned off leaving only the 3.3 V regulator active.
Sleep
In addition to standby, a sleep mode is provided by which the Host can order the bq76925 to shutdown all
internal circuitry including the LDO regulator. In this mode the device will consume a minimal amount of current
(< 1.5 μA) due only to leakage and powering of the wake-up detection circuitry.
Sleep mode is entered by writing a ‘1’ to the SLEEP bit in the POWER_CTL register. In sleep mode, all functions
including the LDO are disabled. Wake-up is achieved by pulling up the ALERT pin; however the wake-up circuitry
is not armed until the voltage at V3P3 drops to ~0 V. To facilitate the discharge of V3P3, an internal 3 kΩ
pull-down is connected from V3P3 to VSS during the time that sleep mode is active. Once V3P3 is discharged,
the bq76925 may be awakened by pulling the ALERT pin above VWAKE (2 V max).

SLUSAM9A – JULY 2011 – REVISED JULY 2011

The SLEEP_DIS bit in the POWER_CTL register acts as an override to the sleep function. When SLEEP_DIS is
set to ‘1’, writing the SLEEP bit has no effect (i.e. sleep mode cannot be entered). If SLEEP_DIS is set after
sleep mode has been entered, the device will immediately exit sleep mode. This scenario can arise if
SLEEP_DIS is set after SLEEP is set, but before V3P3 has discharged below a valid operating voltage. This
scenario can also occur if the V3P3 pin is held up by external circuitry and not allowed to fully discharge.
If the over-current alert function is not used, the ALERT pin can function as a dedicated wake-up pin. Otherwise,
the ALERT pin will normally be pulled up to the LDO voltage, so care must be taken in the system design so that
the wake-up signal does not interfere with proper operation of the regulator.
Internal LDO Voltage Regulator
The bq76925 provides a regulated 3.3 V supply voltage on the V3P3 pin for operating the device’s internal logic
and interface circuitry. This regulator may also be used to directly power an external microcontroller or other
external circuitry up to a limit of 4 mA load current. In this configuration, the VCTL pin is tied directly to the BAT
pin. For applications requiring more than 4 mA, an external bypass transistor may be used to supply the load
current. In this configuration the VCTL pin is tied to the gate of the bypass FET. These two configurations are
show in Figure 4.

Figure 4. LDO Regulator Configurations
For the configuration of Figure 4B), a high gain bypass device should be used to ensure stability. A bipolar PNP
or p-channel FET bypass device may be used. Contact TI for recommendations.
The LDO regulator may be overridden (i.e., back-fed) by an external supply voltage greater than the regulated
voltage on V3P3. In this configuration the bq76925 internal logic and interface circuitry will operate from the
external supply and the internal 3.3 V regulator will supply no load current.
ADC Interface
The bq76925 is designed to interface to a multi-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) located in an external
Host controller, such as an MSP430 Microcontroller or equivalent. Three outputs provide voltage, current and
temperature information for measurement by the Host. In addition, the bq76925 includes a low-drift calibrated 1.5
/ 3 V reference that is output on a dedicated pin for use as the reference input to the ADC.
The gain and offset characteristics of the bq76925 are measured during factory test and stored in non-volatile
memory as correction factors. The Host reads these correction factors and applies them to the ADC conversion
results in order to achieve high measurement accuracy. In addition, the precise voltage reference of the bq76925
can be used to calibrate out the gain and offset of the Host ADC.
Reference Voltage
The bq76925 outputs a stable reference voltage for use by the Host ADC. A nominal voltage of 1.5 V or 3 V is
selected via the REF_SEL bit in the CONFIG_2 register. The reference voltage is very stable across
temperature, but the initial voltage may vary by ±4%. The variation from nominal is manifested as a gain error in
the ADC conversion result. To correct for this error, offset and gain correction factors are determined at final test
and stored in the non-volatile registers VREF_CAL and VREF_CAL_EXT. The Host reads the correction factors
and applies them to the nominal reference voltage to arrive at the actual reference voltage as described under
Cell Voltage Monitoring. After gain correction, the tolerance of the reference will be within ±0.1%.

Host ADC Calibration
All analog to digital converters have inherent gain and offset errors which adversely affect measurement
accuracy. Some microcontrollers may be characterized by the manufacturer and shipped with ADC gain and
offset information stored on-chip. It is also possible for such characterization to be done by the end-user on loose
devices prior to PCB assembly, or as a part of the assembled PCB test.
For applications where such ADC characterization is not provided or is not practical, the bq76925 provides a
means for in-situ calibration of the Host ADC. Through setting of the VCOUT_SEL bits in the CELL_CTL register
two scaled versions of the reference voltage, 0.5 × VREF and 0.85 × VREF, can be selected for output on the
VCOUT pin for measurement by the Host ADC. Measuring both scaled voltages enables the Host to do a
two-point calibration of the ADC and compensate for the ADC offset and gain in all subsequent ADC
measurement results as shown in Figure 5.
Note that the calibration accuracy will be limited by the tolerance of the scaled reference voltage output so that
use of this method may not be effective. For these cases, it is recommended to use a higher accuracy source for
the two-point calibration shown in Figure 5.

Cell Voltage Monitoring
The cell voltage monitoring circuits include an input level-shifter, multiplexer (MUX) and scaling amplifier. The
Host selects one VCn cell input for measurement by setting the VCOUT_SEL and CELL_SEL bits in the
CELL_CTL register. The scaling factor is set by the REF_SEL bit in the CONFIG_2 register. The selected cell
input is level shifted to VSS reference, scaled by a nominal gain GVCOUT = 0.3 (REF_SEL = 0) or 0.6 (REF_SEL
= 1) and output on the VCOUT pin for measurement by the Host ADC.
Similar to the reference voltage, gain and offset correction factors are determined at final test for each individual
cell input and stored in non-volatile registers VCn_CAL (n = 1-6) and VC_CAL_EXT_m (m = 1-2). These factors
are read by the Host and applied to the ADC voltage measurement results in order to obtain the specified
accuracy.
The cell voltage offset and gain correction factors are stored as 5-bit signed integers in 2’s complement format.
The most significant bits (VCn_OC_4, VCn_GC_4) are stored separately and must be concatenated with the
least significant bits (VCn_OFFSET_CORR, VCn_GAIN_CORR).
The reference voltage offset and gain correction factors are stored respectively as a 6-bit and 5-bit signed integer
in 2’s complement format. As with the cell voltage correction factors, the most significant bits (VREF_OC_5,
VREF_OC_4, VREF_GC_4) are stored separately and must be concatenated with the least significant bits
(VREF_OFFSET_CORR, VREF_GAIN_CORR).

Cell Amplifier Headroom Under Extreme Cell Imbalance
For cell voltages across (VC1 – VC0) that are less than ~2.64 V, extreme cell voltage imbalances between
(VC1 – VC0) and (VC2 – VC1) can lead to a loss of gain in the (VC2 – VC1) amplifier. The cell imbalance at
which the loss of gain occurs is determined by the following equation:
(VC2 - VC1) ´ 0.6 > (VC1 - VSS)
(3)
Assuming VC0 = VSS, it can be seen that when (VC1 – VC0) > 2.64 volts, the voltage across (VC2 – VC1) can
range up to the limit of 4.4 V without any loss of gain. At the minimum value of (VC1 – VC0) = 1.4 V, an
imbalance of more than 900 mV is tolerated before any loss of gain in the (VC2 – VC1) amplifier. For higher
values of (VC1 – VC0), increasingly large imbalances are tolerated. For example, when (VC1 – VC0) = 2.0 V, an
imbalance up to 1.33 V (i.e. (VC2 – VC1) = 3.33 V) results in no degradation of amplifier performance.
Normally, cell imbalances greater than 900 mV will signal a faulty condition of the battery pack and its use should
be discontinued. The loss of gain on the second cell input does not affect the ability of the system to detect this
condition. The gain fall-off is gradual so that the measured imbalance will never be less than the critical
imbalance set by Equation 3.
Therefore if the measured (VC2 – VC1) is greater than (VC1 – VSS) / 0.6, a severe imbalance is detected and
the pack should enter a fault state which prevents further use. In this severe cell imbalance condition
comparisons of the measured (VC2 – VC1) to any over-voltage limits will be optimistic due to the reduced gain in
the amplifier, further emphasizing the need to enter a fault state.
Cell Amplifier Headroom Under BAT Voltage Drop
Voltage differences between BAT and the top cell potential come from two sources as shown in Figure 6: V3P3
regulator current that flows through the RBAT filter resistor, and the voltage drop in the series diode DBAT of the
hold-up circuit. These effects cause BAT to be less than the top cell voltage measured by the cell amplifier.

Figure 6. Sources of Voltage Drop Affecting the BAT Pin
The top cell amplifier (VC6 – VC5) is designed to measure an input voltage down to 1.4 V with a difference
between the BAT and VC6 pin up to 1.2 V (i.e. BAT can be 1.2 V lower than VC6). However, in applications with
fewer than 6 cells, the upper cell inputs are typically shorted to the top cell input. For example, in a 5-cell
application VC6 and VC5 would be shorted together and the (VC5 – VC4) amplifier would measure the top cell
voltage. The case is similar for 4- and 3-cell applications.
For these cases when using the (VC5 – VC4), (VC4 –VC3) or (VC3 – VC2) amplifier to measure the top cell, the
difference between BAT and the top cell amplifier must be less than 240 mV in order to measure cell voltages
down to 1.4 V. Note that at higher cell input voltages the top amplifier tolerates a greater difference. For example,
in a 5-cell configuration (VC6 and VC5 tied together) the (VC5 – VC4) amplifier is able to measure down to a 1.7
V input with a 600 mV difference between VC5 and BAT.
Accordingly, in systems with fewer than 6 cells it is important in system design to minimize RBAT and to use a
Schottky type diode for DBAT with a low forward voltage. If it is not possible to reduce the drop at BAT to an
acceptable level, then for 4 and 5 cell configurations the (VC6 – VC5) amplifier may be used as the top cell
amplifier as show in Table 1, which allows up to a 1.2 V difference between BAT and top cell.

Current Monitoring
Current is measured by converting current to voltage via a sense resistor connected between SENSEN and
SENSEP. A positive voltage at SENSEP with respect to SENSEN indicates a discharge current is flowing, and a
negative voltage indicates a charge current. The small voltage developed across the sense resistor is amplified
by gain GVIOUT and output on the VIOUT pin for conversion by the Host ADC. The voltage on VIOUT is always
positive and for zero current is set to 3/4 of the output range. The current sense amplifier is inverting; discharge
current causes VIOUT to decrease and charge current causes VIOUT to increase. Therefore, the measurement
range for discharge currents is 3 times the measurement range for charge currents.
The current sense amplifier is preceded by a multiplexer that allows measurement of either the SENSEN or
SENSEP input with respect to VSS. The Host selects the pin for measurement by writing the I_AMP_CAL bit in
the CONFIG_1 register. The Host then calculates the voltage across the sense resistor by subtracting the
measured voltage at SENSEN from the measured voltage at SENSEP. If the SENSEN and VSS connections are
such that charge and discharge currents do not flow through the connection between them, i.e. there is no
voltage drop between SENSEN and VSS due to the current being measured, then the measurement of the
SENSEN voltage can be regarded as a calibration step and stored by the Host for use as a pseudo-constant in
the VSENSE calculation. The SENSEN voltage measurement would then only need updating when changing
environmental conditions warrant.

SLUSAM9A – JULY 2011 – REVISED JULY 2011

The Host sets GVIOUT by writing the I_GAIN bit in the CONFIG_1 register. The available gains of 4 and 8 enable
operation with a variety of sense resistor values over a broad range of pack currents. The gain may be changed
at any time allowing for dynamic range and resolution adjustment. The input and output ranges of the amplifier
are determined by the value of the REF_SEL bit in the CONFIG_2 register. These values are shown in Table 2.
Because the current amplifier is inverting, the Min column under Output Range corresponds to the Max column
under Input Range. Likewise, the Max column under Output Range corresponds to the Min column under Input
Range.
The actual current is calculated from the measured voltage (VIOUT) as follows. Note that VSENSE is positive when
discharge current is flowing. In keeping with battery pack conventions, the sign of ISENSE is inverted so that
discharge current is negative.

Over Current Monitoring
The bq76925 also includes a comparator for monitoring the current sense resistor and alerting the Host when the
voltage across the sense resistor exceeds a selected threshold. The available thresholds range from 25 mV to
400 mV and are set by writing the I_THRESH bits in the CONFIG_1 register. Positive (discharge) or negative
(charge) current may be monitored by setting the I_COMP_POL bit in the CONFIG_1 register. By the choice of
sense resistor and threshold a variety of trip points are possible to support a wide range of applications.
The comparator result is driven through the open-drain ALERT output to signal the host when the threshold is
exceeded. This feature can be used to wake up the Host on connection of a load, or to alert the Host to a
potential fault condition. The ALERT pin state is also available by reading the ALERT bit in the STATUS register.
Temperature Monitoring
To enable temperature measurements by the Host, the bq76925 provides the LDO regulator voltage on a
separate output pin (VTB) for biasing an external thermistor network. In order to minimize power consumption,
the Host may switch the VTB output on and off by writing to the VTB_EN bit in the POWER_CTL register. Note
that if the LDO is back-fed by an external source, the VTB bias will be switched to the external source.
In a typical application, the thermistor network will consist of a resistor in series with an NTC thermistor, forming
a resistor divider where the output is proportional to temperature. This output may be measured by the Host ADC
to determine temperature.
Internal Temperature Monitoring
The internal temperature (TINT) of the bq76925 can be measured by setting VCOUT_SEL = ‘01’ and CELL_SEL
= ‘110’ in the CELL_CTL register. In this configuration, a voltage proportional to temperature (VTEMP_INT) is output
on the VCOUT pin. This voltage is related to the internal temperature as follows:
VTEMP_INT(mV) = VTEMP_INT(TINT = 25°C) – TINT(°C) × ΔVTEMP_INT

Cell Balancing and Open Cell Detection
The bq76925 integrates cell balancing FETs that are individually controlled by the Host. The balancing method is
resistive bleed balancing, where the balancing current is set by the external cell input resistors. The maximum
allowed balancing current is 50 mA per cell.
The Host may activate one or more cell balancing FETs by writing the BAL_n bits in the BAL_CTL register. To
allow the greatest flexibility, the Host has complete control over the balancing FETs. However, in order to avoid
exceeding the maximum cell input voltage, the bq76925 will prevent two adjacent balancing FETs from being
turned on simultaneously. If two adjacent bits in the balance control register are set to 1, neither balancing
transistor will be turned on. The Host based balancing algorithm must also limit the power dissipation to the
maximum ratings of the device.
In a normal system, closing a cell balancing FET will cause 2 cell voltages to appear across one cell input. This
fact can be utilized to detect a cell sense-line open condition, i.e. a broken wire from the cell sense point to the
bq76925 VCn input. Table 3 shows how this can be accomplished. Note that the normal cell voltage
measurements may represent a saturated or full scale reading. However, these will normally be distinguishable
from the open cell measurement.

It should be noted that the cell amplifier headroom limits discussed above apply to the open cell detection
method because by virtue of closing a switch between 2 cell inputs, internally to the device this appears as an
extreme cell imbalance. Therefore, when testing for an open on CELL2 by closing the CELL1 balancing FET, the
CELL2 measurement will be less than the expected normal result due to gain loss caused by the imbalance.
However, the CELL2 measurement will still increase under this condition so that a difference between open (no
change) and normal (measured voltage increases) can be detected.
Host Interface
The Host communicates with the AFE via an I2C interface. A CRC byte may optionally be used to ensure robust
operation. The CRC is calculated over all bytes in the message according to the polynomial x8 + x2 + x + 1.
I2C Addressing
In order to reduce communications overhead, the addressing scheme for the I2C interface combines the slave
device address and device register addresses into a single 7-bit address as shown below.
ADDRESS[6:0] = (I2C_GROUP_ADDR[3:0] << 3) + REG_ADDR[4:0]
The I2C_GROUP_ADDR is a 4-bit value stored in the EEPROM. REG_ADDR is the 5-bit register address being
accessed, and can range from 0x00 – 0x1F. The factory programmed value of the group address is ‘0100’.
Contact TI if an alternative group address is required.
For the default I2C_GROUP_ADDR, the combined address can be formed as shown in Table 4.

Bus Write Command to bq76925
The Host writes to the registers of the bq76925 as shown in Figure 7. The bq76925 acknowledges each received
byte by pulling the SDA line low during the acknowledge period.
The Host may optionally send a CRC after the Data byte as shown. The CRC for write commands is enabled by
writing the CRC_EN bit in the CONFIG_2 register. If the CRC is not used, then the Host generates the Stop
condition immediately after the bq76925 acknowledges receipt of the Data byte.
When the CRC is disabled, the bq76925 will act on the command on the first rising edge of SCL following the
ACK of the Data byte. This occurs as part of the normal bus setup prior to a Stop. If a CRC byte is sent while the
CRC is disabled, the first rising edge of the SCL following the ACK will be the clocking of the first bit of the CRC.
The bq76925 does not distinguish these two cases. In both cases, the command will complete normally, and in
the latter case the CRC will be ignored.

Figure 7. I2C Write Command
Bus Read Command from bq76925
The Host reads from the registers of the bq76925 as shown in Figure 8. This protocol is similar to the write
protocol, except that the slave now drives data back to the Host. The bq76925 acknowledges each received byte
by pulling the SDA line low during the acknowledge period. When the bq76925 sends data back to the Host, the
Host drives the acknowledge.
The Host may optionally request a CRC byte following the Data byte as shown. The CRC for read commands is
always enabled, but not required. If the CRC is not used, then the Host simply NACK’s the Data byte and then
generates the Stop condition.

TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)

TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably
be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing
such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and
acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products
and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be
provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in
such safety-critical applications.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at
the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are
designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated
products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
