BQ2060 - communicate with the External EEPROM

I would recommedn to get started with the BQ2060 EVM.

Here is the link to the EVM

Not sure for what kind of information you are looking in detail, but the application notes and User's Guides you find in the BQ2060 program folder

http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/bq2060.html

should provide all required information (Register Maps, calibration routine, etc..)

Thanks for the reply.

But still i didn't get the complete picture. What i want to do is, I would monitor a Li-ion battery charge with BQ2060 and then using a microcontroller communicate with it to get the status of the battery.

After getting the status i would determine whether to charge the battery or not, by controlling an external relay which will supply the charging current the battery.

Is this possible with the BQ2060. Since after reading the datasheet i figured out the the voltage would be sensed across Vsr1 and Vsr2. The charging and discharge can be acomplished using different register value. But after giving the signal for charging the battery how can i figure out that the battery is charging. The only thing the datasheet show is

                                                                    Vsr = Vsr2-Vsr1   >0    the battery is charging

                                                                    Vsr = Vsr2-Vsr1   >0    the battery is dis-charging

Is this Vsr count can be get outside BQ2060? if yes, kindly let me know how should i proceed is possible let me give the sample code of it.

Another question is that the BQ2060 is interfaced with Exte4rnal EEPROM and all the required register value are been stored at a particular address in this EEPROM. Now how the BQ will communicate with this EERPOM i.,e how should i tell the BQ that the External EEPROM address is  yy  or zz, and that you have fetch the data from it?

You can determine the direction of current flow from the sign of SBS.Current( ). There is no sample code, please refer to the command set in the datasheet. Interface with the EEPROM is described in the datasheet and in the advanced applications note. That is only necessary to setup the parameters during production, not in normal use.

Dear sir,

I read again  the datasheet, and the only thing i got is from Page 22 in the last paragraph, that  "if i send the command 0606, the bq2060 will release the SMBus and will connect with the I2C line."

 So now i can be able to communicate with the External EEPROM using this line. I have arleady programmed the EEPROM with different value at the address discribed in the Table 10.

Now my question is, how these data are been accessed by the bq2060?  Is that, i have read the EEPROM externaly and compare the result with data got from bq2060? 

I have connected the st24c04 EEPROM whose device address is 0xA0.
