Tool/software:
Hi,
I'm trying to use the BQ77216 along with a BQ76942 on a 10S battery pack.
According to the BQ77216 datasheet "When pairing with the BQ769x2 or BQ76940 devices, the top cell must be used".
According to the BQ77216EVM User Guide on reducing the cell count "The BQ77216 cell count is reduced by shorting unused cells, normally from the top down but cells between the top and bottom may be shorted.".
Is the attached connectiron between the two devices correct?
Note: The schematic is still not finished, as such some of the pins are still unused. I'm currently checking just the connection between the BQ77216 and the BQ76942 .
