BQ79656-Q1: Using AVDD pin to supply 5V for other components like a current sensor

Part Number: BQ79656-Q1


While I was looking at the BQ79656-Q1 pin description I've noticed that the AVDD pin is a 5-V regulated outout that supplies the internal analog circuits. The datasheet says that I have to bypass this pin with a capacitor to AVSS. But can I also use it to suply 5-V to external circuits like a current sensor or do I have to use a external DCDC converter? I will still bypass it to AVSS but in parallel the pin will also be conected to the 5-V input of the sensor.
