7.2.2.2 Integrated LDO Capacitor

The fuel gauge has an integrated LDO with an output on the VDD pin of approximately 1.8V. Connect a capacitor with a capacitance value at least 2.2μF between the VDD pin and VSS. Place the capacitor close to the gauge IC and establish short traces to both the VDD and VSS pins. Do not use this LDO to provide power for other devices in the system.
