PRODUCTION DATA.
The series resistors used at the DSG and CHG output pins serve to protect them from damaging ESD events or breakdown conditions, allowing the resistors to be sacrificed in place of the fuel gauge itself. An added bonus is that they also help to limit in-rush currents due to use of FETs with large gate capacitance, allowing smooth ramp of power-path connection turn-on to the system.
