BQ20Z90 battery pack implementation

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ20Z90

I am currently designing a battery pack and will be using the BQ20Z90 along with the

recommended front end protection IC's.


I have been testing the evaluation module and realized that when the battery pack is

unplugged and the charger is NOT present the gas gauge is in shut down mode and will

not "wake up" unless you short the 4p and pack+ pins together.

Is there a way around this shut down mode, so that the gas gauge can work with an

external battery pack that would not always be hooked up to a charger but would

still need to display (via leds) its current charge status ?
