SLVSIU4 April 2026 BQ27Z846
ADVANCE INFORMATION
An internal temperature sensor is available on the BQ27Z846 device to reduce the cost, power, and size of the external components necessary to measure temperature. It is measured by the VADC using the multiplexer and is ideal for quickly determining pack temperature under a variety of operating conditions.
The internal temperature sensor reports the measured temperature in terms of voltage and device firmware converts this voltage to temperature in units of °C to be reported for gauging and protection tasks. As an example, a difference in 0.05mV/°C between the VINT_TEMP(TYP) value as stated in the Internal Temperature Sensor (INT_TEMP) Specifications table and the actual voltage drift value reported by the internal temperature sensor approximately equates to a temperature error of ±1°C.
