PRODUCTION DATA
The BQ2022A is a low-power device that only needs to be turned on when communicating. The device power comes from the voltage supply that is used for digital I/O in the system. A dedicated VCC pin does not exist in the device for which there is not a requirement of a supply input bypass capacitor. The device obtains its power from the SDQ communication input which can be sustained during normal communication activity.
The ramp time of the SDQ voltage when power is initially applied may be slow due to current limiting from the source. Ramp times greater than 200 µs might cause undesired bouncing of the POR circuit and result in the device not generating a presence pulse. To account for this undesired effect on the device a best practice for the communication master would be to issue a “hard” reset to the device by pulling down the SDQ line for >5 ms and then releasing the SDQ bus before issuing the reset pulse that is approximately 480 µs long.
Figure 9-1 illustrates the best practice for dealing with initial power on ramps, shown as (1) in the figure, that may be long in duration. The host should issue a “hard” reset, (2), of > 5 ms, which resets the device and generate a presence delay and presence pulse, (3). After that, a “soft” reset of approximately 480 µs can be applied, (4), which also generates a high presence delay and low presence pulse, (5).
