DESCRIPTION
The bq2944x is a secondary overvoltage protection IC for 2-series, 3-series, or 4-series cell Li-Ion battery packs
that incorporates a high-accuracy precision overvoltage detection circuit.
FUNCTION
The voltage of each cell in a battery pack is compared to an internal reference voltage. If any cells reach an
overvoltage condition, the bq2944x device starts a timer that provides a delay proportional to the capacitance on
the CD pin. Upon expiration of the internal timer, the OUT pin changes from a low state to a high state. An
optional latch configuration is available that holds the OUT pin in a high state indefinitely after an overvoltage
condition has satisfied the specified delay timer period. The latch is released when the CD pin is shorted to GND.

The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under natural convection is obtained in a simulation on a JEDEC-standard, high-K board, as
specified in JESD51-7, in an environment described in JESD51-2a.
The junction-to-case (top) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the package top. No specific JEDECstandard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.
The junction-to-board thermal resistance is obtained by simulating in an environment with a ring cold plate fixture to control the PCB
temperature, as described in JESD51-8.
The junction-to-top characterization parameter, yJT, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining qJA, using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-board characterization parameter, yJB, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted
from the simulation data for obtaining qJA , using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).
The junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the exposed (power) pad. No specific
JEDEC standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
PROTECTION (OUT) TIMING AND DELAY TIME CAPACITOR SIZING
The bq2944x uses an external capacitor to set delay timing during an overvoltage condition. When any of the
cells exceed the overvoltage threshold, the bq2944x activates an internal current source of nominally 140 nA,
which charges the external capacitor. When the external capacitor charges up to a voltage of nominally 1.2 V,
the OUT pin transitions from a low state to a high state, by means of an internal pull-up network, to a regulated
voltage of no more than 9.5 V when IOH = 0 mA.

OUT
H
T0461-01
Figure 4. Timing for Overvoltage Sensing
Sizing the external capacitor is based on the desired delay time as follows:
CCD =
td
XDELAY
Where td is the desired delay time and xDELAY is the overvoltage delay time scale factor, expressed in seconds
per microFarad. xDELAY is nominally 9.0 s/µF. For example, if a nominal delay of 3 seconds is desired, the
customer should use a CCD capacitor that is 3 s/9.0 s/µF = 0.33 µF.
The delay time is calculated as follows:
t d = CCD ´ XDELAY
If the cell overvoltage condition is removed before the external capacitor reaches the reference voltage, the
internal current source is disabled and an internal discharge block is employed to discharge the external
capacitor down to 0 V. In this instance, the OUT pin remains in a low state.
For latched versions of the bq2944x, if an overvoltage condition has caused the OUT pin to transition to a high
state, the external capacitor remains charged even after the overvoltage condition has been removed. In this
instance, the OUT pin remains in a high state.
For non-latched versions, the OUT pin is allowed to transition back from a high to low state when the overvoltage
condition is no longer present, and the external capacitor is discharged down to 0 V.

CELL CONNECTION SEQUENCE
NOTE
Before connecting the cells, propagate the overvoltage delay timing capacitor, CCD.
The recommended cell connection sequence begins from the bottom of the stack, as follows:
1. GND
2. VC4
3. VC3
4. VC2
5. VC1
While not advised, connecting the cells in a sequence other than that described above does not result in errant
activity on the OUT pin. For example:
1. GND
2. VC4, VC3, VC2, or VC1
3. Remaining VCx pin
4. Remaining VCx pin
5. Remaining VCx pin
CUSTOMER TEST MODE
Customer Test Mode (CTM) helps to greatly reduce the overvoltage detection delay time and enable quicker
customer production testing. This mode is intended for quick-pass board-level verification tests, and, as such,
individual cell overvoltage levels may deviate slightly from the specifications (VPROTECT, VOA). If accurate
overvoltage thresholds are to be tested, use the standard delay settings that are intended for normal use.
To enter CTM, VDD should be set to approximately 9.5 V higher than VC1. When CTM is entered, the device
switches from the normal overvoltage delay time scale factor, xDELAY, to a significantly reduced factor, xDELAY_CTM,
thereby reducing the delay time during an overvoltage condition. The CTM overvoltage delay time is similar to
the equation presented in PROTECTION (OUT) TIMING AND DELAY TIME CAPACITOR SIZING with the
substitution of xDELAY_CTM in place of xDELAY:
t d _ CTM = CCD ´ XDELAY_CTM
CAUTION
Avoid exceeding any Absolute Maximum Voltages on any pins when placing the part
into Customer Test Mode. Also, avoid exceeding Absolute Maximum Voltages for the
individual cell voltages (VC1–VC2), (VC2–VC3), (VC3–VC4), and (VC4–GND).
Stressing the pins beyond the rated limits may cause permanent damage to the
device.
To exit CTM, power off the device and then power it back on.
For latched versions of the bq2944x, the external CCD capacitor must be externally discharged if any overvoltage
functionality is exercised during protection testing. This can be accomplished by shorting the CD pin to GND. If
the CCD capacitor is not explicitly discharged, a residual charge may cause the overvoltage delay time to be
inaccurate.
