bq298xyz Voltage, Current & Temperature Protectors Texas Instruments bq298xyz Voltage, Current, and Temperature Protectors feature integrated charge-pump FET drivers and provide high-side primary battery cell protection for 1-series Li-Ion and Li-Polymer batteries. This feature enables consistent Rdson across cell voltages. For better system thermal performance, the bq2980 device’s accuracy enables using a sense resistor as low as 1mΩ. The CTR pin in the Texas Instruments bq298xyz device can be configured to override the FET driver by host control to create a system reset or shutdown function. The CTR pin can also be configured to connect an external Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) thermistor for FET OT protection to the internal die temperature sensor.
