BQ79718B-Q1

9–18-cell high-voltage battery monitor

An 18-cell-module voltage monitor and balancer with published typical ±1mV accuracy and 300mA balancing capability. TI requires a request for the full datasheet; this page supports architecture screening, not detailed register, timing or electrical sign-off.

LifecycleActive
In one sentence: Qualification is grounded in this TI product's documentation; no grade is inferred from temperature. An ordering table may show junction or variant-specific limits, which must be distinguished from ambient conditions. TI explicitly lists Functional Safety-Compliant. This is a device-documentation category, not system ASIL certification; assess the exact function, assumptions and safety manual.

Orderable variants (OPNs)

The GPN is for selection; the full OPN is for ordering. These examples were observed on the verification date, not live stock. Variants may differ in package, temperature, gain/threshold and, for PMICs, NVM/sequencing. Distinguish TA from TJ in the exact datasheet.

FAQ

Can the B suffix be ignored?

No. This page verifies BQ79718B-Q1 and its listed OPN only. Do not infer revision compatibility from a shortened identifier.

Is the public documentation sufficient for design release?

No. The public datasheet is abbreviated. Obtain full register, electrical and safety material through TI; typical accuracy is not maximum error over temperature.

How should I verify the BQ79718B-Q1 orderable?

The page lists 1 OPN examples from official material checked on 2026-11-06. Match package, function options and temperature definitions; obtain live price/stock from TI or authorized distributors.
