BQ2970: Typical Application Circuit

Part Number: BQ2970

Hello,

I am planning to utilize the BQ2970 for a 1-cell lithium poly battery pack that I am going to design. The design itself seems pretty straightforward, but I do have a question about the circuit that was shown in the datasheet, please refer to Section 10.2 of the BQ2970 datasheet for the example I am referring to. I understand what the function of the 330 ohm resistor, but what is the purpose of the 2.2kOhm resistor?

Any help on understanding this would greatly be appreciated.
