The fuel gauge has different power modes: NORMAL, SLEEP, CONFIG_UPDATE, and BAT INSERT CHECK.
- In NORMAL mode, the fuel gauge is fully powered and can execute any allowable task.
- In SLEEP mode, the fuel gauge turns off the high-frequency oscillator and exists in a reduced-power state, periodically taking measurements and performing calculations.
- In CONFIG_UPDATE mode, the internal configuration data in the fuel gauge can be modified.
- BAT INSERT CHECK mode is a powered up, but low-power halted, state, where the fuel gauge resides when no battery is inserted into the system.
Figure 5-1 shows the relationship between these modes.
