Hi,
"The board includes a resistive cell simulator selected with S3 and S4. The cell simulator is used where appropriate with external test equipment to provide clear demonstration of the operation. The cell simulator is a test convenience on the evaluation board and should not be considered part of a system design. It would normally be provided in a test fixture when desired. Inclusion of a cell simulator on a system board will cause discharge of the system cells."
tida-00255 15 cell monitor/protector schematic includes a sheet PWR254_sim. Is the "resistive cell simulator" a device used to generate arbitrary by ways somehow analogous of and adjustable voltage source, and adjustable resistor, for testing the bq769x0 and bq78350 basic functions?
