SLUSCS4C June 2017 – April 2021 BQ40Z50-R2
PRODUCTION DATA
The BQ40Z50-R2 device provides support for a safety PTC thermistor. The PTC thermistor is connected between the PTC and BAT pins. It can be placed close to the CHG/DSG FETs to monitor the temperature. The PTC pin monitors the voltage at the pin and will trip if the thermistor resistance exceeds the defined threshold. A PTC fault is one of the permanent failure modes. It can only be cleared by a POR.
To disable, connect PTC and PTCEN to VSS.
