PRODUCTION DATA.
By default, the 78350 uses an external negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor connected to the BQ76920 as the source for the Temperature() data. The measurement uses a polynomial expression to transform the BQ76920 ADC measurement into 0.1°C resolution temperature measurement. The default polynomial coefficients are calculated using the Semitec 103AT, although other resistances and manufacturers can be used.
To calculate the External Temp Model coefficients, use the BQ78350-R1 Family Thermistor Coefficient Calculator shown in the application report, Using the BQ78350-R1 (SLUA924).
For improved accuracy, offset calibration is available for this value and can be managed through the BQSTUDIO tool. The procedure for calibration is described in the BQ78350-R1A Technical Reference Manual(SLUUBD3) in the Calibration chapter.
