BatteryStatus() (0x16)
ALARM BITS
bq2084-V143
SLUS732 SEPTEMBER 2006
Units: mV
Range: 0 to 65,535 mV
Granularity: 1 mV
Accuracy: Not applicable
Invalid Data Indication: 65,535 indicates the charger should operate as a current source outside its maximum
regulated voltage range.
Description: Returns the bq2084-V143 status word (flags). Some of the BatteryStatus() flags ( and
REMAINING_TIME_ALARM) are calculated on the basis of either current or power depending on the setting of
the BatteryMode()CAPACITY_MODE bit. This is important because use of the wrong calculation mode may
result in an inaccurate alarm.
Purpose: The BatteryStatus() function is used by the power management system to get alarm and status bits,
as well as error codes from the bq2084-V143. This is basically the same information broadcast to both the
SMBus host and the smart battery charger by the AlarmWarning() function except that the AlarmWarning()
function sets the error code bits all high before sending the data.
SMBus protocol: Read word
Output: Unsigned Integer-status register with alarm conditions bit-mapped as follows:
ALARM BITS
0x8000 OVER_CHARGED_ALARM
0x4000 TERMINATE_CHARGE_ALARM
0x2000 Reserved
0x1000 OVER_TEMP_ALARM
0x0800 TERMINATE_DISCHARGE_ALARM

0x0040 DISCHARGING
0x0020 FULLY_CHARGED
0x0010 FULLY_DISCHARGED

0x0006 BadSize
0x0005 Overflow/Underflow
0x0004 AccessDenied
0x0003 UnsupportedCommand
0x0002 ReservedCommand
0x0001 Busy
0x0000 OK
OVER_CHARGED_ALARM bit is set whenever the bq2084-V143 detects that the battery is being charged
beyond the maximum overcharge limit, which is full capacity plus Maximum Overcharge DF 0x51-0x52. This bit
is cleared when the bq2084-V143 detects that the battery is no longer being charged and there are 2 mAh of
continuous discharge (i.e., the bq2084-V143 detects discharge activity or no activity above the digital filter).
