PRODUCTION DATA
Besides the battery temperature monitor on the TS pin, the device monitors the internal junction temperature TJ to avoid overheating the chip and limits the IC junction temperature in buck mode. When the internal junction temperature exceeds the thermal regulation limit (110°C), the device lowers down the charge current. During thermal regulation, the actual charging current is usually below the programmed battery charging current. Therefore, termination is disabled, the safety timer runs at half the clock rate.
Additionally, the device has thermal shutdown to turn off the converter and the BATFET when the IC surface temperature exceeds TSHUT 150°C. The BATFET and converter are enabled to recover when IC temperature is 130°C.
