BQ27531-G1: what's the use of ‘Force Update Time’ in bq27531-g1?

Part Number: BQ27531-G1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24192

Tool/software:

We are using bq27531-g1 + bq24192,

What's the use of the parameter  ‘Force Update Time’?

What would happen if I change this value?

I change it to 0, and the charger still works normally.

  • This parameter controls when the gauge will send the configuration to the charger. The charger still works "normally" because there are other triggers that cause the gauge to send the configuration to the charger. Setting this to 0 just disables the periodic ("forced") updates.
