PRODUCTION DATA
Cell balancing can be operated in both ACTIVE and SLEEP modes. To run cell balancing in SLEEP mode, simply configure and start cell balancing in ACTIVE mode first. Once cell balancing is running, put the device in SLEEP mode. Cell balancing will continue autonomously in SLEEP mode. See Section 9.4 for description of putting device in SLEEP mode.
When cell balancing is completed with BAL_STAT[CB_DONE] = 1, there is an option to put the device in a different power mode by using the BAL_CTRL2[BAL_ACT1:0]. For example, setting [BAL_ACT1:0] to 0b10 (SHUTDOWN mode) and start cell balancing, When cell balancing is completed in all balancing enabled channels, the device will automatically enter SHUTDOWN mode without MCU interaction. When multiple devices are connected in daisy chain structure, one device may complete its balancing but another may not. Using this option can result with devices in different power states for some period of time. See Section 9.3.3.3 for details about the BAL_STAT[CB_DONE] bit set conditions.
