SLUAAJ8 January 2023 BQ25180
The Temperature Sensing (TS) function is a vital function for providing batteries charge and to operate within a safe temperature range. The BQ25180 provides a TS design as a current source that biases a resistor network with an NTC thermistor. Although the TS is designed to work with NTC of particular characteristics, external resistors extend the NTCs which can be used with the BQ25180. The External NTC Monitoring Calculator, which is available on the TI-Charger GUI, provides an easy means to check the configured application's expected TS behavior.
