SLUS696C June 2006 – February 2019 BQ26100
PRODUCTION DATA.
The bq26100 device uses a single-wire communication protocol, SDQ, that allows for broadcast or targeted communication to a number of devices on the one-wire bus. Each device is programmed with a unique 64-bit address and the protocol consists of an automatic arbitration scheme that allows the host to determine the ID of every device on the bus.
The bq26100 device takes advantage of the pullup on the SDQ line to power a capacitor connected to the PWR pin and the charge on this capacitor is used parasitically when the SDQ line is low. As a result, there is no need for additional power to be supplied to the device.
