The device can detect overtemperature using a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistor connected to the PTC pin. This protection also works in SHUTDOWN mode.
If the device detects a PTC pin high state, the CHG and DSG FETs are turned off, and the pack is disabled permanently. For manufacturer testing, the fault state can be reset by a full power cycle of the device.
This is a hardware controlled feature. To enable this feature, the PTCEN pin should be tied to BAT. To disable this feature, connect the PTCEN pin to ground.
Status | Condition | Action |
---|---|---|
Normal | Reset AFE and PTC pin = low | PFStatus()[PTC] = 0 |
Trip | PTC pin = high | PFStatus()[PTC] = 1 FUSE = high BatteryStatus()[TCA] = 1 BatteryStatus()[TDA] = 1 |
