charging resumes and the charge timer continues from
where it left off. Connecting THM to GND disables the
thermistor monitoring function. Table 4 lists the fault
temperature of different thermistors.
Since the thermistor monitoring circuit employs an
external bias resistor from THM to VL (RTB, Figure 7),
the thermistor is not limited only to 10kΩ (at +25°C).
Any resistance thermistor can be used as long as the
value is equivalent to the thermistor’s +25°C resistance.
For example, with a 10kΩ at +25°C thermistor, use
10kΩ at RTB, and with a 100kΩ at +25°C thermistor,
use 100kΩ .
For a typical 10kΩ (at +25°C) thermistor and a 10kΩ
RTB resistor, the charger enters a temperature suspend
