Is it possible to NOT use the BOOT switch as shown in the datasheet schematics? It seems this is only required if the BQ76920 is put into SHIP mode, correct? If the device is programmed and then put into operation, no SHIP mode, is it still necessary to activate TS1 pin?
This thread indicates a way to energize TS1 without using the BOOT BUTTON switch, but is TS1 required in all cases?: https://e2e.ti.com/support/power_management/battery_management/f/180/p/439874/1581476#1581476 .
