BQ24075-Q1: NTC Thermistor connection

Part Number: BQ24075-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ34210-Q1, , BQ24075
Hi Team,
We plan to use BQ24075-Q1 for power path integrated battery charger and BQ34210-Q1 for fuel gauge. Since both the IC's have TS input, what would be the best possible way to connect these TS inputs to the NTC thermistor in the battery pack?

    Hello Jaya,

    You will need to select which IC gets the NTC, cannot be tied together. Some things to consider

    • The fuel gauge has an internal temperature sensor that can be used 
    • If thermal monitoring of battery is not needed for charger it can be disabled with a fixed 10k to GND
    • sometimes customers use 2 NTCs in the battery pack for this situation

    Best regards,

    Nick

    Hi Nick,

    Thank you for the prompt response, we were checking for a design option.

    We plan to disable thermal monitoring of battery for charger with a fixed 10k to GND. However we plan to use a GPIO from controller to give 'Charge Enable' for BQ24075.

    If there is a provision to read battery temperature from fuel gauge, we could Enable/Disable charging based on that using charge enable. Please share your suggestion on this plan.

    Hello Jaya,

    That option will ensure the gauge gets the most accurate temperature reading of battery, good for gauging performance. You can use Temperature(): 0x06 and 0x07.

    Best regards,
