Hello Cho,

Else, it seems that it is copying the EVM schematic. Was there any other change from the schematic?

Is there a reason this device was chosen? There are much newer protector devices available, such as the BQ77307 or the BQ77915.

Best Regards,

Hi Luis,

Thank you for your support.

There are no other changes to the schematic.

We are designing 8 cells as 1 IC due to PCB space constraints.

I will recommend the product to the customer and check if it is possible to design 2 IC.

Hi Luis,

This is the revised customer's schematic.

Charge, discharge Do I need to add SPK (Spark Protection Circuit) between GND and PACK +?

Please review the SPK additional schematic.

Hello Cho,

Looks good!

A spark-gap will provide further robustness against ESD strikes. I recommend to add them.
