PRODUCTION DATA.
The battery connection on the BAT pin is used as an input for voltage measurement of the battery. A capacitor of value of at least 0.1 μF should be connected between BAT and VSS. The capacitor should be placed close to the gauge IC and have short traces to both the BAT pin and VSS.
The battery connection on the REGIN pin is used to supply power to the gauge. A capacitor of value of at least 0.1 μF should be connected between REGIN and VSS. The capacitor should be placed close to the gauge IC and have short traces to both the REGIN pin and VSS.
The fuel gauge has an integrated LDO with an output on the VCC pin of approximately 2.5 V. A capacitor of value at least 1 μF should be connected between the VCC pin and VSS. The capacitor should be placed close to the gauge IC and have short traces to both the VDD pin and VSS.
