BQ76PL536A-Q1: What to do with FAULT_H and ALERT_H if unused in hardware? Float?

Ryan Bohm

Part Number: BQ76PL536A-Q1

Tool/software:

I am only using the SPI comms to host for the faults and alerts? What do I do with the unused pins for noise and power consumption? Should they be left floating?

Ryan,

According to the datasheet in section 8, we can see that if the FAULT_H and ALERT_H pins are unused, they are left floating.

Ben

Thanks. I must be blind though - where is this mentioned in section 8?

Ryan,

The two devices that are not connected to the host in the typical application diagrams have the pins floating.

Ben
