We want to use the MAX17262 chip for battery monitoring.
However, due to manufacturer limitations, we are unable to route a trace from the middle pad (B2, ALRT). Taking a look at the EV, we can see that a tiny trace was used, however, our manufacturer is unable to produce such a trace, as the minimum clearance between traces is 0.09mm.
Taking a closer look at the pinout, we saw that the A3 pin is NC.
Can we use this pin (A3) to route a trace though it? Like so:
Otherwise, we could also remove the A3 pad altogether and route a trace below it, but we are not sure if this will cause problems during soldering.
Any tips on resolving this would be appreciated.
