I understand the so called RC implementation for low power SLEEP/SNOOZE, which is implemented in any example schematics by TI (see also app note 3377.bqTESLA TX Sleep Mode -- 212A.pdf), but I still have a question.
Since I don't really care about power consumption, I'm wondering if I can implement a schematic using the BQ500215 without having the SLEEP/SNOOZE functionalities. In other words, my idea is to leave both the SNOOZE and SLEEP pins unconnected. Since I will have a microcontroller driving the BQ500215 through the /RESET pin, I believe I need to pull-up the SNOOZE_CAP pin , in order to have the BQ starting pinging anytime it gets out from the reset.
Any other drawbacks when not using the SNOOZE/SLEEP circui as shown in the EVB schematics?
