/10. The controller suspends charge by turning off the PWM charge FETs. Figure 12 and Figure 13
summarize the operation.
Figure 12. TS, Thermistor Sense Thresholds
Figure 13. Typical Charge Current vs Temperature Profile
Assuming a 103AT NTC thermistor on the battery pack as shown in the Typical System Schematic (Figure 1),
the values of RT1 and RT2 can be determined by using Equation 5 and Equation 6:
