I²C Command Waiting Time
To ensure proper operation at 400 kHz, a t_(BUF) ≥ 66 μs bus-free waiting time must be inserted between all
packets addressed to the bq27531-G1 . In addition, if the SCL clock frequency (f_SCL) is > 100 kHz, use individual
1-byte write commands for proper data flow control. The following diagram shows the standard waiting time
required between issuing the control subcommand the reading the status result. For read-write standard
command, a minimum of 2 seconds is required to get the result updated. For read-only standard commands,
there is no waiting time required, but the host must not issue any standard command more than two times per
second. Otherwise, the gauge could result in a reset issue due to the expiration of the watchdog timer.

I²C Clock Stretching
A clock stretch can occur during all modes of fuel gauge operation. In SLEEP and HIBERNATE modes, a short
clock stretch occurs on all I²C traffic as the device must wake-up to process the packet. In the other modes (
BAT INSERT CHECK , NORMAL, SLEEP+ ) clock stretching only occurs for packets addressed for the fuel
gauge. The majority of clock stretch periods are small as the I²C interface performs normal data flow control.
However, less frequent yet more significant clock stretch periods may occur as blocks of Data Flash are updated.
The following table summarizes the approximate clock stretch duration for various fuel gauge operating
conditions.

Operating Condition / Comment
Clock stretch occurs at the beginning of all traffic as the device wakes up.
Clock stretch occurs within the packet for flow control (after a start bit, ACK or first data bit).
Normal Ra table Data Flash updates.
Data Flash block writes.
Restored Data Flash block write after loss of power.
End of discharge Ra table Data Flash update.
