TS Pin Thermistor Configuration

The typical TS resistor network is illustrated below.

BQ25638 TS Resistor Network Figure 7-5 TS Resistor Network

The value of RT1 and RT2 are determined from the resistance of the recommended 103AT-2 thermistor at 0ºC and 60ºC (RTH0ºC= 27.28kΩ and RTH60ºC = 3.02kΩ) and the corresponding voltage thresholds VTS_COLD and VTS_HOT (expressed as percentage of REGN with value between 0 and 1).

Equation 3. RT2 = RTH 0ºC × RTH 60ºC × ( 1 V TS_0ºC - 1 V TS_60ºC ) RTH 60ºC × ( 1 V TS_60ºC - 1 ) - RTH 0ºC × ( 1 V TS_0ºC - 1 )
Equation 4. RT1 = 1 V TS_0ºC - 1 1 R T2 + 1 RTH 0ºC
Equation 5. BQ25638
Equation 6. BQ25638

Assuming a 103AT-2 NTC thermistor on the battery pack, the RT1 and RT2 are calculated to be 5.23kΩ and 30.1kΩ respectively.

If the thermistor is biased from TS_BIAS, the maximum current must be checked against ITS_BIAS_FAULT. For the worst-case condition of thermistor at 0Ω impedance (very hot), the bias current is:

Equation 7. I BIAS_MAX = V REGN RT1

For 5.23kΩ RT1, this has a maximum IBIAS of 0.94mA, which is well below the minimum ITS_BIAS_FAULT threshold. The 103AT-2 NTC thermistor is the recommended thermistor and has 10kΩ nominal impedance. Using a lower impedance thermistor changes the value of R1 and can produce a bias current that exceeds the TS_BIAS pin fault threshold. TS_STAT[2:0] is set to 111.
