9.4 Device Functional Modes
To minimize power consumption, the fuel gauge has several power modes: INITIALIZATION, NORMAL, SLEEP,
and HIBERNATE. The fuel gauge passes automatically between these modes, depending upon the occurrence
of specific events, though a system processor can initiate some of these modes directly. More details are found
in the bq27441-G1 Technical Reference Manual (SLUUAC9).
9.5 Programming
9.5.1 Standard Data Commands
The fuel gauge uses a series of 2-byte standard commands to enable system reading and writing of battery
information. Each standard command has an associated command-code pair, as indicated in Table 1. Because
each command consists of two bytes of data, two consecutive I
2
C transmissions must be executed both to
initiate the command function, and to read or write the corresponding two bytes of data. Additional details are
found in the bq27441-G1 Technical Reference Manual (SLUUAC9).
