ADVANCE INFORMATION
As with the cell connections, the quality of the Kelvin connections at the sense resistor is critical. The sense resistor must have a temperature coefficient no greater than 50ppm in order to minimize current measurement drift with temperature. Choose the value of the sense resistor to correspond to the available overcurrent and short-circuit ranges of the BQ41Z50. Select the smallest value possible to minimize the negative voltage generated on the BQ41Z50 VSS node(s) during a short circuit. This pin has an absolute minimum of –0.3V. Parallel resistors can be used as long as good Kelvin sensing is ensured. The device is designed to support a 0.5mΩ to 3mΩ sense resistor.
