Typical applications
Alternates and companions
TI lists it as pin-compatible with added current sensing in the same package. Verify current-sense, register and software differences before substitution.
TI product page →TI lists it as pin-compatible in the same 64-pin QFP package with current sensing. It is not an unconditional drop-in; check system requirements.
TI product page →14S member of the family with pin-package/software compatibility but a different cell count; select by pack configuration.
TI product page →FAQ
How many cells does BQ79616-Q1 support?
It supports 6–16S and is suited to 12S/14S/16S high-voltage modules. The family also includes BQ79612-Q1 and BQ79614-Q1 for other cell counts.
Is BQ79616-Q1 ASIL-D?
TI lists systematic and hardware capability up to ASIL-D and provides ISO 26262 documentation. The BMS system's ASIL-D claim still depends on the vehicle safety concept and verification.
What are the pin-compatible alternatives?
TI's similar-products section lists BQ79656-Q1 and BQ75614-Q1 as pin-compatible, while BQ79614-Q1 is the 14S family member. Check current-sense, register and software differences before substitution.
