BQ77905: LD pin pull-down required for stacked configuration?

Part Number: BQ77905

Hello,

Figure 9-7 of the bq77905 datasheet shows a 1M pull-down resistor (Ra) on the upper device’s LD pin when a stacked configuration is used. But the stacked configuration instructions for the EVM and the SLUA774B - bq77995 20S Cell Stacking Configuration document do not have a pull down on the LD pin.

Is this pull-down resistor recommended for a 20S configuration? If yes, use it on devices 2-5 or just on device 5 (the “top” of the stack)? Thank you.

Regards, John M.
