FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
Single IC Li-Ion Protection for 3-Series to 6-
The bq77PL157 is a stackable overvoltage protection
Series Cells
device for 3, 4, 5 or 6 series cell Li-Ion battery packs.
Stackable to Protect up to 18-Series Cells
This device incorporates a precise and accurate
Programmable Detection Time Delay
overvoltage detection circuit with preconfigured
threshold limits. Additional features include the ability
Low Power Consumption
to stack multiple parts to monitor up to 18 series
Typical 2-µA to 2.5-µA Normal Mode
cells.
Fixed 4.225 V Overvoltage Threshold
FUNCTION

Added Safety and Reliability and the LVO pin becomes active.
Permanent or Recoverable Fault Options
If multiple bq77PL157 devices are stacked, the LVIN
pin of the next-lower device receives the LVO pin

from the above device and similarly starts a
shortened delay timer before activating its OUT pin.
APPLICATIONS
(No additional isolation or level-shift circuitry is
Primary or Secondary Level Voltage Protection
required.) The lowest bq77PL157 in the string is used
for Li-Ion Battery Packs for Use in:
to activate a power MOSFET located in the low side
of the power path.
