Hi,
I am planning to use the bqPL900 analog front end for a BMS design using a Li-Ion primary battery (non-rechargeable). I'm using the schematic provided in the bq77PL900EVM-001 eval board documentation as the basis of my design. Since I will not be using the charge balancing feature in this design, can I eliminate the 510 ohm resistors and .1uf caps on each VC input? I am very space limited and would like to reduce the parts count as much as possible, However, I don't want to affect the reliability of the design.
Thanks in advance for any help.
