PRODUCTION DATA
Because the upper CB pin is open on the channel where bus bar is connected, to balance the cell connected above bus bar, host turns on the adjacent CBFET and configures with the same timer setting.
Host configures BBVC_POSN1/2 register to indicate the bus bar connection. This information is used to avoid the channel connected with bus bar to trigger a VCB_DONE detection and turn off its CBFET, which disconnects the balancing path for the cell above the bus bar.
The balancing of the cell above the bus bar is still terminated based on the timer and cell voltage threshold, which its CBFET will be turned off when one of the stop conditions is met. The balancing path is disconnected even if the CBFET on the bus bar connected channel remains on.
The CBFET on the bus bar connected channel will be on until the timer expired. This may lead to a delayed flagging of the [CB_DONE] = 1 even if the actual cell balancing is completed.
