HT7Q1521
3 to 8 Cell Analog Front End
for Li-Battery Protection
Features
General Description
• VIN Input Range from 7.5V to 36V
• Accumulative Cell Voltage Monitor
The HT7Q1521 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 ana-
log 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 from VBAT1 to VBAT8 which
benefits 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% accuracy. The voltage regulator and
cell voltage monitor are shut down with an ultra-low
standby current of 0.1μA when the device is in the
Sleep Mode. When the HVWK pin is triggered by a
voltage greater than its threshold, the device will re-
turn to the normal operating state.
