The BQ2969 family is a high-accuracy, low-power overvoltage protector with a 3mA regulated output supply for Li-ion and LiFePO4 (LFP) battery pack applications.

Each cell in a 2-series to 4-series cell stack is individually monitored for an overvoltage condition. An internally fixed-delay timer is initiated upon detection of an overvoltage condition on any cell. Upon expiration of the delay timer, the output pin is triggered into an active state to indicate that an overvoltage condition has occurred.

The regulated output supply delivers up to 3mA output current to drive always-on circuits, such as a real-time clock (RTC) oscillator. The BQ2969 family has a self-disable function to turn off the regulated output if any cell voltage falls below a programmable undervoltage threshold, thereby preventing drain on the battery.Read more
