Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ76920
Hello,
I have two questions:
- I am using the BQ76940 in a design where I would like to give the end user the ability to choose the number of cells they want to use to the best of the device’s ability. (9s to 15s) I want to make sure this schematic will work. It is for a 14s battery pack. I have shorted the VC13 pin to VC14 after the resistors and capacitors. Will this work correctly? I could not find any information other than which pins to short in the datasheet.
- I have not finished my schematic, but can I leave out the pack discharge transistor, and just include the charge transistor and coulomb counter? I do not need discharge protection.
Thanks very much for the help!
Regards,
Dillon
