changing bq2060A SMBus ID adress

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ2060A, PCA9548A

Hello,

is it possible to change the SMBus ID adress ?

I need to use up to 5 batteriepacks, each equipped with the bq2060A, in parallel circuit and want to transfer the battery data of each battery via one SMBus to the PC.

Thanks for helping!

Stefan

 

  • Hello Stefan,

    No, the device address for the bq2060A cannot be changed.  I suggest you use an I2C multiplexer IC that will allow you to change the port connected to the SMBus by a command to the multiplexer IC.  TI makes a part like this.  Try using the 8-channel PCA9548A.
