BQ25895: NTC resistor sizing for LIPO batteries

Part Number: BQ25895

Dear Team,

referring to the BQ25895RTWR datasheet (MAY 2018) on page 23 there are the equations to size the RT1 and RT2 resistor for the NTC interface, I kindly ask you about the VT1 and VT5 parameters value where to find them because there are no reference inside the datasheet...

Thanks and best regards.

  • Just a little update, by using the datasheet value and setting VT1 = 73.25% of VREGN and VT5=44.75% of VREGN I have:

    so a valuethat are close to the ones reported on the datasheet (5210 ohm and 29870 ohm).

    Now from a conservative design perspective, about the cold temperature rising threshold, should not be better use the lower percentual value of 72.75% instead the nominal 73.25%?

    Similary, about the VTCO, at the higher temperature the NTC resistance take the lower value, if the threshold is set to the higher value 44.25% the protection should be always inside the max 45°C degree, isn't it?

    So a better choice may be to use:

    VLTF=72.75%

    VTCO=44,25%

    with this value we have RT1=5301 ohm and RT2=29408 ohm.

    Make sense?

    Thanks and best regards.

  • F.,

    The BQ2589x Calculation Tools (Rev. A) is available at http://www.ti.com/product/BQ25895/toolssoftware.

  • Thank you Ning,

    just a question, about the VREGN into the spreadsheet is used 6V, In my design the VBUS (input voltage) will be equal to 5V so from datasheet I think that VREGN will be equal to 4.7V÷4.8V, and also VVREF into the equation should be equal to VREGN, changing 6V to 4,8V, but the calculated resistors value are the same as evaluated by using VREGN=6V, so the resistor values seems to be not related to the VREGN I think because into the equations I've the ratio between VVREF and VTCO and between VVREF and VLTF, I'm right?

    Thanks and best regards.

  • F,

    VREGN is actually not in the equation, so VREGN value does not matter. Please refer to  for more details.

    Thanks,

    Ning.

  • Thank you Ning to point me around this thread,

    hence, at the end, this seems to me that is not important the VREGN value because into the equation we have a ratio that is fixed inside the chip then the two resistors value are effectively not depending to this voltage, I'm right?

    Best regards.

  • F,

    Yes, VREGN value does not matter.

    Thanks,

    Ning.
