[FAQ] BQ796XX Automotive Grade Battery Monitors Family

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ79616-Q1, BQ79656-Q1, BQ79600-Q1, BQ79631-Q1, BQ75614-Q1

What are the differences between the devices in the BQ796xx family?

  • Cell Module Monitors for HV stacks:

    BQ79616-Q1 is stackable 16 channel with dedicated bus bar BBP/BBN pins

    BQ79656-Q1 is stackable 16 channel with shunt-resistor current sense SRP/SRN pins. This device has limited bus bar support for voltage measurements only

    Last digit number can vary between 2/4/6 options that indicates 12/14/16 channels

     

    Bridge Communications:

    BQ79600-Q1 is a communication bridge that has UART/SPI host interfaces. 

     

    Battery Junction Box Application:

    BQ79631-Q1 is UIR (voltage, current, insulation resistance) sensor for BJB applications

     

    48V Application:

    BQ75614-Q1 is non stackable pack and cell monitor with shunt-resistor current sense SRP/SRN pins for 48V applications. This device has limited bus bar support for voltage measurements only

     

    12V Application:

    BQ796506-Q1 pack and cell monitor up to 6 channels. It also supports shunt-resistor current sensing.
