SLUSCM6E June 2016 – April 2019 BQ35100
PRODUCTION DATA.
There are three options for temperature measurement in the BQ35100 device. By default, the device is configured to use an external 103AT NTC thermistor. However, if [TEMPS] = 0, then an internal temperature sensor is used. This requires no external components but for optimal performance in this case, the BQ35100 device should be very close to the cell, preferably thermally connected.
There is one other option that can be used if the system already includes a cell temperature measurement solution: If WRTEMP = 1, then the host can write the temperature to the device and the BQ35100 algorithms will use that data.
