PRODUCTION DATA
HIBERNATE mode should be used when the system equipment needs to enter a low-power state, and minimal gauge power consumption is required. This mode is ideal when system equipment is set to its own HIBERNATE, SHUTDOWN, or OFF mode.
Before the fuel gauge can enter HIBERNATE mode, the system must set the CONTROL_STATUS [HIBERNATE] bit. The gauge waits to enter HIBERNATE mode until it has taken a valid OCV measurement and the magnitude of the average cell current has fallen below Hibernate Current. The gauge can also enter HIBERNATE mode if the cell voltage falls below Hibernate Voltage and a valid OCV measurement has been taken. The gauge remains in HIBERNATE mode until the system issues a direct I2C command to the gauge or a POR occurs. Any I2C communication that is not directed to the gauge does not wake the gauge.
It is the responsibility of the system to wake the fuel gauge after it has gone into HIBERNATE mode. After waking, the gauge can proceed with the initialization of the battery information (OCV, profile selection, and so forth).
