BQ40Z80: External MOSFET cell balancing

Part Number: BQ40Z80
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ40Z50

Dear sir, madam,

The datasheet of the BQ40Z80 refers to the document SLUA420A for external cell balancing. In figure 2 of this document it can be seen that the gate of the MOSFET in parallel to the first/lowest cell is connected to a pin on the IC. This pin returns the current drawn from this cell for external balancing. In the BQ40Z80 convention this pin would be called VC0, this pin does however not exist. On what pin is this balancing current returned on the BQ40Z80 for balancing?

Yours faithfully,

Nils Kauffmann
