ADVANCE INFORMATION
The SMBus clock and data pins have integrated high-voltage ESD protection circuits, however, adding a Zener diode or ESD TVS diode (U5 and U6) provides more robust ESD performance.
The ALERT pin also has integrated high-voltage ESD protection circuits. Similar to the SMBus pins, a Zener diode or ESD TVS diode (U2) can be added for 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.
