MP2791
7-Cell to 14-Cell, High-Accuracy Battery
Monitor and Protector with Coulomb Counting
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP2791 is a robust battery management
device, providing a complete analog front-end
(AFE) monitoring and protection solution. It is
designed for multiple-cell series battery
management systems (BMS). The device can
support I2C or SPI communication. It supports
connections for 7-cell to 14-cell series battery
packs, with an absolute voltage exceeding 75V
on particular pins.
•
Incorporates Dual ADC Architecture:
o <±2% State-of-Charge (SOC) Error with
MPF4279x Fuel Gauge
o Cell Voltage Measurement Error <5mV
o Current/Coulomb Counter Error <±0.5%
o Strictly Synchronized Current/Voltage
Measurement for Impedance Sensing
Includes High-Side N-Channel MOSFET
Drivers for Charge and Discharge Control:
o Supports MOSFET Soft-Start Discharge
Control to Eliminate Pre-Charge Circuit
o Drives Up to 100A DC with Parallel N-
Channel MOSFETs
•
•
The MP2791 integrates two separate analog-to-
digital converters (ADCs). The first ADC
measures each channel’s differential cell
voltages (up to 14 channels), die temperature,
and 4-channel temperatures via external NTC
thermistors. The second ADC measures the
charge/discharge current via an external current-
sense resistor. The dual ADC architecture
enables synchronous voltage and current
measurements for cell and pack impedance
monitoring.
Hardware Configurable Protections:
o Charge/Discharge OCP and SCP
o Cell UVP and OVP
o Pack UVP and OVP
o Cell Low-/High-Temperature Protection
o Die High-Temperature Protection
Passive Cell-Balancing up to 58mA per Cell:
o Can Drive External Balancing
Transistors
o Automatic or Manual Control
Additional Features:
•
•
When paired with an MPF4279x fuel gauge, the
MP2791 can achieve a state-of-charge (SOC)
error to within 2%.
o Integrated 3.3V and 5V LDOs
o Reduced Current Standby Mode
o Load and Charger Plug-In Detection
o High-Voltage and Low-Voltage GPIOs
o Dedicated Thermistor Inputs
o Open Wire Detection
o Persistent Dead Battery Flag
o Lockable MTP Memory for Thresholds
I2C or SPI Interface with 8-Bit CRC
Random Cell Connection Tolerant
Available in a TQFP-48 (7mmx7mm)
Package
The MP2791 includes high-side MOSFET (HS-
FET) drivers for charge and discharge control.
The discharge (DSG) MOSFET driver includes a
configurable soft start (SS) that provides a
controlled turn-on, eliminating the need for an
external pre-charge circuit. The MOSFET drivers
also incorporate over-current protection (OCP),
short-circuit protection (SCP), battery under-
voltage protection (UVP), battery over-voltage
protection (OVP), and high-/low-temperature
protection. All of these protections have
configurable thresholds.

•
Internal passive balancing MOSFETs can be
used to equalize mismatched cells, supporting
up to 58mA. There is also the option to drive
external balancing transistors (MOSFET or BJT).
