  • [FAQ] BQ34Z100-G1: How to Seal and Unseal

    Part Number: BQ34Z100-G1 Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO The BQ34Z100-G1 provides three security modes that control data flash access permissions according to the table below: FULL ACCESS mode allows the BQ34Z100- G1 to directly transition…

  • [FAQ] BQ34Z100-G1: Data Accuracy Issues

    Part Number: BQ34Z100-G1 Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO ADC measurements are taken only once per second. Due to this it is recommended data only be read at a 1Hz rate. The firmware is not designed to be read from at a rate faster than 1 second…

  • [FAQ] BQ34Z100-G1: Not able to access data(read/write)

    Part Number: BQ34Z100-G1 When trying to read/write ensure that the gauge is not in sealed mode as you do not have access to the data flash in this mode. Additionally, if the voltage falls below the Flash Update OK voltage parameter the gauge will not…

  • [FAQ] BQ34Z100-G1: General Timing Recommendations for I2C

    Part Number: BQ34Z100-G1 When a host system requests updates, it must factor in the flash update times associated with the gauges firmware. The gauge firmware ACKs a properly received data flash write request. This has the effect to immediately release…

  • [FAQ] BQ34Z100-G1: How fast does the gauge update current and voltage registers?

    Part Number: BQ34Z100-G1 The register update frequency is based on power mode. In Normal mode the gauge should update these registers every second. For sleep mode the update time can be up to 20 seconds. However, the gauge is accumulating current totals…
