The device allows a random cell
connection to the VSS, V1, V2, V3, and V4 pins. The device does not require VSS
to be connected first and does not require cells to be connected in a particular
order.
If fewer than 4 cells are used,
then an unused cell input pin Vn must be shorted to the next lower
cell input pin (Vn-1).
The cell input capacitors, the
supply pin capacitor, and the REG output capacitor are recommended to be placed
close to the device, minimizing trace length on the PCB.
