It integrates three fault-detection functions — overcurrent, overvoltage, and overtemperature — into an 8-X2QFN package that measures just 1.5x1.5 mm. That footprint fits inside a slim battery assembly or a handheld enclosure where board space is the constraint, not the BOM cost of a discrete protection circuit. The operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C covers industrial and portable equipment environments — think power-tool packs, portable medical devices, or outdoor IoT nodes that see seasonal extremes. It is not AEC-Q100 graded, so for automotive cabin or underhood use you would need a qualified alternative; for everything else this is the straightforward fit. ## Package and mounting The BQ298000RUGR monitors three fault conditions: overcurrent, overvoltage, and overtemperature. Overvoltage protection prevents the cell from charging above its safe voltage limit — critical for Li-Ion chemistry where a single overvoltage event can start thermal runaway. Overcurrent protection covers both discharge overcurrent and short-circuit scenarios; the IC will disconnect the load when current exceeds the detection threshold. Overtemperature protection monitors the die temperature and shuts down if the pack gets hot enough to risk cell damage. The datasheet specifies the exact threshold voltages and current limits — those numbers are the ones to verify against your cell manufacturer's absolute maximum ratings during the protection-coordination review. ## Package and mounting — what the 1.5x1.5 mm X2QFN means for assembly The 8-X2QFN (1.5x1.5 mm) package is a tiny, leadless quad-flat no-lead with an exposed pad for thermal conduction. Surface-mount assembly is standard, but the small pad size and fine pitch mean your stencil aperture and reflow profile need to be dialled in for that specific footprint. The supplier device package is listed as 8-X2QFN (1.5x1.5) — that is the exact body size, so your PCB land pattern should match the TI recommended layout. No special bake requirements beyond the standard MSL handling for that package family. ## Lifecycle and sourcing posture The BQ298000RUGR carries an Active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant. Sourcing is straightforward through independent distribution — we quote this part to order against an RFQ, with availability and current pricing confirmed at the time of quote. No LTB risk, no broker-only scarcity.","metaTitle":"BQ298000RUGR Battery Protection IC, 1-Cell Li-Ion","metaDescription":"TI BQ298000RUGR single-cell Li-Ion/Polymer battery protection IC with overcurrent, overvoltage, and overtemperature fault protection.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Analog & Data Acquisition"],"specifications":{"Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Function":"Battery Protection","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"8-XFQFN","Number of Cells":"1","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Fault Protection":"Over Current, Over Temperature, Over Voltage","Battery Chemistry":"Lithium Ion/Polymer","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 85°C (TA)","Supplier Device Package":"8-X2QFN (1.5x1.5)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.75","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.75000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.66100","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.62120","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.50690","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.47080","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.40068","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.32054","currency":"USD"},{"qty":3000,"price":"$0.29049","currency":"USD"},{"qty":6000,"price":"$0.28350","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/72543ded84271a064caa2d1d5b90eb8d.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Does BQ298000RUGR have overvoltage protection?","answer":"Yes, overvoltage protection is one of the three fault-detection functions built into this IC, along with overcurrent and overtemperature.
