8.4 Device Functional Modes
The bq78350-R1 device supports three power modes to optimize the power consumption:
- In NORMAL mode, the bq78350-R1 device performs measurements, calculations, protection decisions, and data updates in 1-s intervals. Between these intervals, the bq78350-R1 device is in a reduced power mode.
- In SLEEP mode, the bq78350-R1 device performs measurements, calculations, protection decisions, and data updates in adjustable time intervals. Between these intervals, the bq78350-R1 device is in a reduced power mode.
- In SHUTDOWN mode, the bq78350-R1 device is completely powered down.
The bq78350-R1 device indicates through the PWRM pin which power mode it is in. This enables other circuits to change based on the power mode detection criteria of the bq78350-R1 device.
