9.3.16 External NTC Monitoring (TS)

The device provides a flexible voltage based TS input for monitoring the battery pack NTC thermistor. The voltage at TS is monitored to determine that the battery is at a safe temperature during charging.

Three temperature thresholds are monitored: the cold battery threshold, the cool battery threshold, and the hot battery threshold. These temperatures correspond to the V(COLD), V(COOL), and V(HOT) threshold in Section 8.5. Charging and timers are suspended when V(TS) < V(HOT) or > V(COLD). When V(COOL) < V(TS) < V(COLD), the charging current is reduced to half of the programmed charge current.

The BQ25120F3A has the warm region disabled for applications that need charging to suspend beyond 45°C by adjusting the Rhi and Rlo resistors. Refer to the setup guide tool SLUC696 and equation below for calculating the hot trip point.

The TS function is voltage based for maximum flexibility. Connect a resistor divider from VIN to GND with TS connected to the center tap to set the threshold. The connections are shown in Figure 9-4. The resistor values are calculated using Equation 1 and Equation 2. To disable the TS function, pull TS above TSOFF threshold.

Equation 2. GUID-5B3561A1-9829-4473-BEBD-0FBD595F5CE6-low.gif

Where

  • R(HOT) = the NTC resistance at the hot temperature
  • R(COLD) = the NTC resistance at the cold temperature

The warm and cool thresholds are not independently programmable. The cool and warm NTC resistances for a selected resistor divider are calculated using Equation 3 and Equation 4.
