SLUS696C June 2006 – February 2019 BQ26100
PRODUCTION DATA.
The bq26100 device has a bq2022 compatible memory and command structure with new commands to access added memory. The bq26100 device uses a combination of non-volatile OTP and non-volatile EEPROM. The OTP should be programmed in the factory as an external voltage is required to program the bits; the EEPROM can be programmed in the field, with the programming voltage generated automatically by an internal-charge pump.
Four pages of 32x8-bits OTP are accessed with the bq2022 compatible command set, while a fifth page of 32x8-bits are accessed with a new command set. Each page of OTP can be locked once programmed, blocking further writes to the page. There is an additional provision to allow for page redirection at the host in the event that a page is programmed incorrectly. The redirection is not automatic, but a host system can determine where a page redirection is occurring and read the appropriate page for uncorrupted data.
The EEPROM consists of 16x8-bits that can be written in the same way as for RAM-based volatile memory. The timing of the writes is different than writing to RAM to allow for the internal charge pump to create the voltage necessary to set the bit values.
