BQ76PL455A-Q1: Common grounding issue

Part Number: BQ76PL455A-Q1

Hello David,

We are developing a 32 cell series BMS using 2 chips of bq76pl455a-q1. I have a question regarding the grounding of the two IC's.

1. Does the Auxillary channels ( Temperature sensing ) connected to the local ground?

2. Does the Sense16 of bottom IC get connected to BAT0 of TOP IC? So, would the local ground of TOP IC be connected to Sense16 of bottom IC?

3. For Daisy chain connection between TOP and BOTTOM IC, how would be the grounding preference?

Waiting for your reply.

Thanks

Ritul Shah
