BQ76952 BMS Molecule v2

Adom molecule for the Texas Instruments BQ76952 battery management IC. This is the central controller of the Modular BMS system — it monitors cell voltages, controls charge/discharge FETs, handles cell balancing, and provides comprehensive protection (OV, UV, OCD, SCD).

Features

  • TI BQ76952 battery monitor/protector (3-16S)
  • BQ771807 high-side MOSFET driver
  • BSC160N15NS5 / BSZ900N15NS3 power MOSFETs for CHG/DSG control
  • Cell balancing support
  • Full protection suite: OV, UV, OCD, SCD, OT
  • I2C interface to host MCU (MSP430)
  • Multi-sheet KiCad 8 schematic (Monitor, FETs, Interface, Hardware, PinConfig)

Key ICs

Ref Value Description
— BQ76952 3-16S battery monitor and protector
— BQ771807DPJR High-side N-FET driver
— BSC160N15NS5ATMA1 150V N-channel MOSFET (power stage)
— BSZ900N15NS3 G 150V N-channel MOSFET (power stage)
— MMBT5401LT1G PNP transistor (gate drive)
— FCX495TA NPN transistor

Usage

This molecule is the brain of the Modular BMS system. It connects to battery carrier molecules (18650 or EVE LF105 prismatic) via cell sense lines and controls charge/discharge through integrated MOSFET banks. An MSP430 host MCU communicates over I2C to configure the BQ76952 and read telemetry.
