PRODUCTION DATA.
Any variation encountered in the resistance present between the SRP and SRN pins of the fuel gauge will affect the resulting differential voltage and derived current it senses. As such, it is recommended to select a sense resistor with minimal tolerance and temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) characteristics. The standard recommendation based on best compromise between performance and price is a 1% tolerance, 50-ppm drift sense resistor with a 1-W power rating. The power rating must be consistent with the maximum current and sense resistor value. The bq34210-Q1 device supports sense resistors from 5 mΩ to 20 mΩ.
