Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ79616
Dear TI support,
we're planning to develop a single PCBA to handle all our battery modules(4-16 series connected cells) by using the BQ79616 IC.
The examples on the document SLVAE89 - FEBRUARY 2019, on paragraph 4.3 (fig. 4.6 a..d), suggests some possible configurations but, for the case of our interest ( fig 4-6 (c) and (d) ), it suggest to unpopulate some resistors and capacitors.
Our idea, instead, is to design a single PCB with a single PCBA variant (a single component assembly option). In case we are going to use less than 16 cell we can short circuit the unused cell inputs to +Vbatt (positive pin of cell 14 in the example below).
Are there some side effect if we use such configuration with the 10ohm,100ohm resistors and the differential capacitors on channels CB populated?
