Hi,
We are using Bq27441 in one of our projects, our load current consumption is not linear. We have three modes of operation
Ideal = 3 mA current consumption 90% life time
Transmitting: Gsm is transmitting data with 500mA , with burst current of 2Amp for few mSec ( 10%)
Hibernate: If SOC is less than 10% enters in hibernate mode, current consumption <1mAmp for 95 % time period <2 mAmp for rest of period.
Now my questions are
1) Is there is minimum load current required for gauge to predict correct SOC?
2)If using SOC for entering into hibernation mode and waking up?
3) Will gauge work fine with this pulsating load? How we can make gauge accurate in hibernate mode.
4) whenever we are waking up from hibernate mode we are entering into transmitting mode, we observed jump in soc 5-6 %, whenever we are doing this transition state switching. How can I minimize this? Ideally, i want to understand why this may be happening so that we can take better decisions.
