HT7Q1520
3 to 8 Cell Analog Front End
for Li-Battery Protection
Features
General Description
• VIN Input Range from 7.5V to 36V
The HT7Q1520 is a high voltage analog-front-end IC
for 3 to 8 cell Li-ion rechargeable battery protection.
It consists of an accumulative cell voltage monitor
and a high accuracy voltage regulator. The device is
designed to monitor an accumulative voltage from 1
to N and outputs the divide-by-N voltage to the analog
multiplexer with a ±0.5% divided ratio accuracy.
The anti-reverse current switch is implemented to
prevent a backflow current even if VOUT is higher than
VBATn. Each divided accumulative cell voltage can
be observed sequentially on pin VBATn which will
benefit MCUs with a lower number of ADCs. There
are 3 control bits, B0, B1 and B2, to select which
terminal voltage outputs with a maximum 100Hz
scanning frequency when COUT=2.2nF. The enable
pin, EN_S, is used to close all switches and the output
voltage is pulled down by an internal 1MΩ resistor. An
integrated regulator provides a 5V supply to the MCU
with a 30mA driving current capability and which has
±1% precision. The voltage regulator is always active
even if the EN_S pin is cleared to a logic low level.
• Accumulative Cell Voltage Monitor: 8-to-1 Analog
Multiplexer with divided ratio accuracy: 1/n ± 0.5%
• Reverse-current prevention switching scan
frequency of 100Hz
• Requires fewer MCU A/D Converters (ADCs)
• 5V/30mA internal Voltage Regulator with ±1%
accuracy
• Operating Temperature Range: -40oC to +85oC
• Package Type: 16-pin NSOP
Applications
• Electric power tools
• Handheld vacuum cleaners

Note: 1. If less than 8 serial batteries are used, connect the unused VBATn to the highest voltage potential. Do not
leave any VBATn pin floating to prevent damage to the device.
2. The bold lines indicate that these connections need to be as short as possible.
3. VIN pin should not be floating to prevent abnormal operations.
