The bqSWITCHER™ supports a precision Li-ion or Li-polymer charging system for single-, two- or three-cell
applications. See Figure 4 and Figure 5 for operational flow charts and Figure 6 for a typical charge profile.

Temperature Qualification
The bqSWITCHER continuously monitors battery temperature by measuring the voltage between the TS pin and
VSS pin. A negative temperature coefficient thermistor (NTC) and an external voltage divider typically develop
this voltage. The bqSWITCHER compares this voltage against its internal thresholds to determine if charging is
allowed. To initiate a charge cycle, the battery temperature must be within the V(LTF)-to-V(HTF) thresholds. If
battery temperature is outside of this range, the bqSWITCHER suspends charge and waits until the battery
temperature is within the V(LTF)-to-V(HTF) range. During the charge cycle (both precharge and fast charge), the
battery temperature must be within the V(LTF)-to-V(TCO) thresholds. If battery temperature is outside of this range,
the bqSWITCHER suspends charge and waits until the battery temperature is within the V(LTF)-to-V(HTF) range.
The bqSWITCHER suspends charge by turning off the PWM and holding the timer value (i.e., timers are not
reset during a suspend condition). Note that the bias for the external resistor divider is provided from the VTSB
output. Applying a constant voltage between the V(LTF)-to-V(HTF) thresholds to the TS pin disables the
temperature-sensing feature.
