PRODUCTION DATA.
The BQ2407xT features an external battery pack temperature monitoring input. The TS input connects to the NTC thermistor in the battery pack to monitor battery temperature and prevent dangerous over-temperature conditions. During charging, the voltage at TS is continuously monitored. If, at any time, the voltage at TS is outside of the operating range (VCOLD to VHOT), charging is suspended. The timers maintain their values but suspend counting. When the voltage measured at TS returns to within the operation window, charging is resumed and the timers continue counting. When charging is suspended due to a battery pack temperature fault, the CHG output remains low and continues to indicate charging.
Where:
VCOLD = 0.25 X VIN
VHOT = 0.125 X VIN
RHOT is the expected thermistor resistance at the programmed hot threshold, RCOLD is the expected thermistor resistance at the programmed cold threshold. If the value of R6 is less than 100 kΩ, R8 must be added to protect the IC from 28V inputs. If R6 is greater than 100 kΩ, R8 does not need to be used.
For applications that do not require the TS monitoring function, set R6 = 200 kΩ and R7 = 49.9 kΩ to set the TS voltage at a valid level and maintain charging.
