PRODUCTION DATA
The device uses I2C compatible interface for flexible charging parameter programming and instantaneous device status reporting. I2C is a bi-directional 2-wire serial interface. Only two open-drain bus lines are required: a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). Devices can be considered as hosts or targets when performing data transfers. A host is the device which initiates a data transfer on the bus and generates the clock signals to permit that transfer. At that time, any device addressed is considered a target.
The device operates as a target device with address 6AH (BQ25890) and 6BH (BQ25892), receiving control inputs from the host device like micro controller or a digital signal processor through REG00-REG14. Register read beyond REG14 (0x14) returns 0xFF. The I2C interface supports both standard mode (up to 100 kbits), and fast mode (up to 400 kbits). When the bus is free, both lines are HIGH. The SDA and SCL pins are open drain and must be connected to the positive supply voltage via a current source or pull-up resistor.
