BQ76940 Voltage Accuracy

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ76940

Hi,

In my project , I use 2 pieces BQ76940 to measure 20S batteries voltage. There are two problems in my projects

Problem 1:

As the table shows below, from cell1~cell5 there are almost 10mv voltage error, cell6~cell10 there are almost 1mv voltage erro. AS we can see, BQ76940 uses 3.3 as reference voltage, the 10s cell voltage error should be same. Does the Reference voltage is separated in two path,one path for bottom 5s cell and the another for upper 5S cell.  And how can i fix this problems?

battery accuracy
1 -0.011
2 -0.009
3 -0.011
4 -0.013
5 -0.011
6 -0.001
7 -0.001
8 -0.001
9 -0.001
10 0.003
11 -0.007
12 -0.007
13 -0.007
14 -0.006
15 -0.008
16 -0.001
17 -0.003
18 -0.002
19 -0.002
20 -0.004

Problem 2:

When measure the input voltage of cell 11 on the input capacitor (C11 to C11B), the voltage is not stable,  there is almost 300mV changes, but cell 1 on the input capacitor (C1 to VC0), the voltage is stable,  is there any problem with it?
