PRODUCTION DATA.
FULLSLEEP mode turns off the high-frequency oscillator and performs AverageCurrent(), Voltage(), and Temperature() less frequently which results in power consumption that is lower than that of the SLEEP mode.
FULLSLEEP mode can be enabled by two methods:
FULLSLEEP mode is entered automatically when it is enabled by one of the methods above. When the first method is used, the gauge enters the FULLSLEEP mode when the fuel gauge is in SLEEP mode. When the second method is used, the FULLSLEEP mode is entered when the fuel gauge is in SLEEP mode and the timer counts down to 0.
The fuel gauge exits the FULLSLEEP mode when there is any communication activity. Therefore, the execution of SET_FULLSLEEP sets the [FULLSLEEP] bit. The FULLSLEEP mode can be verified by measuring the current consumption of the gauge.
During FULLSLEEP mode, the fuel gauge periodically takes data measurements and updates its data set. However, a majority of its time is spent in an idle condition.
The fuel gauge exits SLEEP if any entry condition is broken, specifically when either:
While in FULLSLEEP mode, the fuel gauge can suspend serial communications by as much as 4 ms by holding the comm line(s) low. This delay is necessary to correctly process host communication, because the fuel gauge processor is mostly halted in SLEEP mode.
