PRODUCTION DATA.
To improve the safety of charging Li-ion batteries, JEITA guideline was released on April 20, 2007. The guideline emphasized the importance of avoiding a high charge current and high charge voltage at certain low and high temperature ranges.
To initiate a charge cycle, the voltage on TS pin must be within the VT1 to VT5 thresholds. If TS voltage exceeds the T1–T5 range, the controller suspends charging and waits until the battery temperature is within the T1 to T5 range. At cool temperature (T1–T2), JEITA recommends the charge current to be reduced to at least half of the charge current or lower. At warm temperature (T3–T5), JEITA recommends charge voltage less than 4.1 V.
The bq24193 provides flexibility voltage/current settings beyond the JEITA requirement. The voltage setting at warm temperature (T3–T5) can be 4.2 V or 4.05 V (REG07 bit[4]). The current setting at cool temperature (T1–T2) can be further reduced to 20% of fast charge current (REG05 bit[0]).
The resistor bias network has been updated as below.
