BQ4050: Coulomb Counter

Part Number: BQ4050

Hi,

I Dont understand from the datasheet what are the currents that i can measure with this component, for the coulomb counter.

I have:

- 3 cells connected in series. 

- Capacity of 1100mAh.

- Charging current - 100mA

- Discharging current - 100uA (Its not a mistake).

As written in the datasheet the input voltage range is +-100mV.

Can i use 1Ohm resistor, so for 100mA the voltage would be 100mV, and for 100uA the voltage would be 100uV. 

In such case, would the guage register be able the measure 1100mA (2^16*Qlsb=1100mAh)?

What would be the error, and where is written in the datasheet?

Best regards,

Arkadi
