In the bq40z50 design app guide (SLUA660a), section 4.3 the text discusses the use of a diode at the VCC pin and a 100 ohm resistor at the Pack pin, but the diagram below it shows a 100 ohm resistor at the VCC pin and a 10K resistor at the Pack pin. Unless the text is discussing components already in the silicon, I'm interpreting it to indicate the suggestion hardware connection to the fuel gauge IC. Please clarify the recommended connections for these pins and the reason for the specific values.
