Hello,
I am implementing a non-host controlled charger (bq24765), with a bq20z75 fuel gauge. I am using SLUA533 directions.
On page 1 of SLUA533, under "Implementations", Step 1, item 3.:
Solder a BAT54 diode between test point Vddp and the BAT pin. The anode of BAT54 is connected to
Vddp.
What is this diode's purpose?
Do I need it in my implementation? My batteries and the charger are integrated (always connected).
Thanks!
Mike
