Q: Bq24172 : frequency of blinking at stat

What is the maximum and minimum frequency of blinking in stat-pin when fault occurs?
According to datasheet P2,blinking at 0.5Hztyp.

Answer:

There is no tested specification on this directly.  All the timing is done off of internal clocks so typically all the values can vary approximately the same percent, but there is an added error term for the resolution of the clock frequency used, which can add time for one period of the frequency used (if the edge of the clock frequency was just missed in the count).  The typical variance is +/-20%.  If I was waiting for something to occur I would probably use 30% to give some margin.  Therefore I would use assume the period would be between 0.35 sec and 0.65 sec.
