PRODUCTION DATA.
The SMBus clock and data pins have integrated high-voltage ESD protection circuits, however, adding a Zener diode (D2 and D3) and series resistor (R24 and R26) provides more robust ESD performance.
The SMBus clock and data lines have internal pulldown. When the gas gauge senses that both lines are low (such as during removal of the pack), the device performs auto-offset calibration and then goes into SLEEP mode to conserve power.
