PRODUCTION DATA
The device is powered by BAT pin and the LDOIN pin, with which the LDOIN pin is regulated by the pregulation circuit form with an external NPN. The device can be powered by a battery module as low as 9 V (without OTP programming) on the BAT pin. However, system designer must scale the RNPN resistor accordingly to ensure there is sufficient headroom to have 6 V on the LDOIN pin after the IR drop across RNPN and the external NPN. Example, if BAT voltage is at 9 V, the RNPN reduces to 10 Ω to allow sufficient voltage at the LDOIN pin.
Multiple cell modules can be connected to the same device through the bus bar support of the BQ7961x-Q1 family. The same power will be drawn from each of the cell modules.
