The fault indication is an important feedback from the IC to the BMS. In an event of a short circuit fault, gate driver UVLO, UVLO and SCP_TEST, the FLT is asserted. The FLT is an open drain pin, and when pulled up to a voltage source with the help of a resistor, the FLT reads high when there is no fault and during a fault condition, the pin reads low. The value of resistor to be used can be determined from the specifications of the FLT pin from the data sheet.
