I have read somewhere that if you need to power the Nintendo Switch from a Bench Supply at the battery input (To detect a short) you will need to install a 10k bypass resistor across the plus and negative ternails at the battery connector as shown in the image
I would take the reason would be to limited the current draw or to make the current flow??
To be honest I do not know
Is it nessary to do this and if so WHY??
Thank you
The console wants a battery installed. More specifically, it wants to know that the battery is at a safe temperature before booting up.
The TEMP line goes to the thermistor in the Battery Management System on the battery itself. Soldering the 10k resistor mimics the thermistor’s normal load/signal to trick the console into thinking it’s non-existent battery is at a safe temperature (~25℃), allowing it to boot.
We derive temperature from Negative Temperature Coefficient thermistors through fluxuations in their resistance. Their resistance at room temp (typically 25℃) is one of their key parameters.
Brillent thank you very much A great explanation
doesthiss mean that the switch will not turn on id an external supply isconnect to vssy?
does this mean that the switch will not turn on from an an external supply connect to vssy?
