BQ24297: What to do with TS when not used

Part Number: BQ24297

Hello,

I will use a BQ24297 on my next design, but I don't need TS pin functionality. What should I do with the pin? Is it better to let it float or to tie to something (VDD, VBAT, GND or something else)?

Thanks in advance.

Stefano

  • Hey Stefano,

    If you are not utilizing the TS pin, you need a put a fixed resistor divider from REGN to TS that will force a constant TS = % of REGN.

    A resistor divider like 5.25k and 7.57k will give you about 60% of REGN @ TS. Refer to Figure 40 in the datasheet.
