How to correctly send PFCLear to BQ34Z950

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ34Z950

What is the correct method for sending the PFClear command to the BQ34Z950 via SMBus? I am using SMBLib 1.0.0 on MSP430 to communicate with the chip and need to issue the command after the battery pack is soldered to the board.

SMBus defines a Write Byte/Word sequence:

Write Byte/Word is <Start><Address+W>Ack<Command>Ack<LSB>Ack<MSB>Ack<Stop> - i.e. a single word.

PFClear says to send 0x2673 and 0x1712 to Mfr Access (0x00). So, is the correct sequence:

<Start><0x16>Ack<0x00>Ack<0x73>Ack<0x26>Ack<Stop> <Start><0x16>Ack<0x00>Ack<0x12>Ack<0x17>Ack<Stop> ??

Unfortunately I am not able to hook the board up to an EV2300 and logic analyzer and peek at the sequence that way.

Thanks for your insight....
