Selection Guide

Choose the BQ79716B-Q1 when designing a 16S automotive or industrial BMS that requires ASIL-D functional safety compliance. It balances high accuracy with low cost per cell. If your system needs fewer than 16 cells, the BQ79712-Q1 may be a more economical choice. For 18S packs, the BQ79718-Q1 is a drop-in alternative with the same package. If you can accept an older generation without ASIL-D, the BQ79616PAPRQ1 is available. All options share the HTSSOP-20 (PAP) package, so PCB layouts can be reused. Consider the BQ79716B-Q1 for new designs targeting EV/HEV BMS or grid storage.

Key Differentiators

  • ASIL-D functional safety compliance (vs BQ79616PAPRQ1)
  • Pin-to-pin compatibility across channel options (vs BQ79718-Q1)
  • High-accuracy 16S measurement (vs BQ79712-Q1)

Design Notes

For high-voltage BMS applications, the BQ79716B-Q1's HTSSOP-20 (PAP) package requires a thermal pad connected to ground. Place a 0.1uF decoupling capacitor close to each VDD pin and a 10uF bulk capacitor. The daisy-chain interface should be routed with proper isolation to prevent noise coupling.

Do not exceed the maximum cell voltage rating. Ensure the ADC input filters are properly sized to reduce noise. When using the integrated balancer, confirm the balancing current does not cause excessive thermal rise.

The HTSSOP-20 has a thermal pad that must be soldered to a large copper region for heat dissipation. In a 16S BMS, the device's power dissipation is low, but balancing currents can produce heat. Use vias to the ground plane for thermal relief.
