Hi,

I reviewed the datasheet associated with the AN2344 and noticed that on the Battery Pack Management System side there are no capacitors (pg. 2 of the attached datasheet). Is this accurate? The BMS appears to achieve the necessary balancing and cell protection on the battery assembly via MOSFET's and resistors. I'm hoping to receive confirmation that by using the AN2344 balanced charger that capacitors are not used in the battery assembly BMS. My application requires the presence of zero capacitors.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
