8.1 Power Supply Decoupling

The battery connection on the BAT pin is used for two purposes:

  • To supply power to the fuel gauge
  • To provide an input for voltage measurement of the battery.

Connect a capacitor of value of at least 1 µF between BAT and VSS. Place the capacitor close to the gauge IC and have short traces to both the BAT pin and VSS.

The fuel gauge has an integrated LDO with an output on the VDD pin of approximately 1.8 V. Connect a capacitor of value at least 2.2 µF between the VDD pin and VSS. Place the capacitor close to the gauge IC and have short traces to both the VDD pin and VSS. Do not use this regulator to provide power for other devices in the system.
