BQ25170: Share ISET and VSET resistors between identical IC's

Part Number: BQ25170


Hi TI!

I'm developing a board that will have 10 x BQ25170's on it. To reduce the BOM, I'm wondering if I can share the resistor-networks for ISET and VSET between these 10 IC's or do I have to supply each BQ25170 with it's own resistor-set? I'm having trouble of getting this info from the datasheet.

Additionally the following paragraph mentions an RC-circuit:

For charge currents below 50 mA, an extra RC circuit is recommended on ISET to achieve more stable current signal. For greater accuracy at lower currents, part of the current-sensing FET is disabled to give better resolution.

What values are suggested to be used for this RC-circuit?

Kind regards,

Ivan
