Bq40370

When designing a PCB around the bq40370, engineers must pay attention to specific pins that differentiate it from its cousins.

Hardware Warning: The bq40370 operates with high-voltage packs (typically 2 to 4 series cells, 7.4V to 14.8V). Improper handling of the PACK+ terminal can instantly destroy the IC if the voltage exceeds 26V absolute maximum. bq40370

The bq40370 is configured using bqStudio (free from TI) with a EV2400 or EV2300 interface. When designing a PCB around the bq40370, engineers
