A capacitor of a value of at least 2.2 µF is connected between the REG18 pin and VSS. The capacitor should be placed close to the fuel gauge and have short traces to both the REG18 pin and VSS as shown in bq34210-Q1 Capacitor Layout. This regulator must not be used to provide power for other devices in the system.
If the connection between the battery pack and the gauge REGIN pin has the potential to pick up noise, it is required to have a capacitor of at least 1.0 µF connect between the REGIN pin and VSS. Place the capacitor close to the fuel gauge and have short traces to both the REGIN pin and VSS.
The SRP and SRN pins should be Kelvin connected to the RSENSE terminals.
For the low-side sense resistor:
Connect SRP to the battery pack side of RSENSE and SRN to the system side of the RSENSE, as shown in bq34210-Q1 Sense Resistor Layout.
Kelvin connect the REGIN pin to the battery PACK+ terminal.
