Use MC33771 with less than 14 cells

IHCHEN — Thu, 07 Jul 2022 03:41:34 GMT

I want to design a BMU for a 13 cell Li-Ion Battery

In MC33771B & 33771C's DataSheet, it's shown that 33771 can support 7 to 14 Channels battery

When I only need 13 channels, how should I design with the 14th channel on 33771 IC?

Is it just need a short between CT13 & 14 as shown in the picture?

It seems that the 33771 datasheet didn't introduce about how to design in less then 14 cell

thanks.
