An adjustable output voltage regulator LDO is provided as a simple way to provide power to additional components in the battery pack, such as the host microcontroller or LEDs. The LDO is configured in EEPROM by TI during the production test process, and can support 2.5-V or 3.3-V options.
A cascode small-signal FET must be added in the external path between BAT and REGSRC with the BQ76930 and BQ76940. This helps drop most of the power dissipation outside of the package and cuts down on package power dissipation.
