BQ24091: BQ24091 NTC calculation related inquiries

Part Number: BQ24091
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24090

Hi, TI expert.

According to the BQ24091 datasheet, I understood that using ß=3370 out of 100K NTC would allow setting from 0 to 45°C without additional external resistors.

However, after actually calculating it, it seems that it is set to 3~41°C even if ß=3370 is used. I would like to ask you to confirm if this is correct.

Customers are also mass-producing products with BQ24090 + 10K NTC (ß=3370) applied.

If the above calculation is correct, I wonder if the actual charging set temperature is 3~41°C instead of 0~45°C even for products with BQ24090 + 10K NTC (ß=3370) applied.

Please check. Thank you.

  • Hey Grady,

    The values you calculated for the hot and cold thresholds are correct. This is to ensure that the device will function within a safe threshold while still accounting for various component tolerances. It's safer to be within the 0-45 degree threshold than outside. The temperature cutoff points can always be adjusted with compensation resistors to get the curve closer to the ideal value if that is preferred. 

    best,
