8.4 Device Functional Modes
The BQ78350-R1A device supports three power modes to optimize the power consumption:
- In NORMAL mode, the device performs measurements, calculations, protection decisions, and data updates in 1-s intervals. Between these intervals, the device is in a reduced power mode.
- In SLEEP mode, the device performs measurements, calculations, protection decisions, and data updates in adjustable time intervals. Between these intervals, the device is in a reduced power mode.
- In SHUTDOWN mode, the device is completely powered down.
The 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 device.
