8.5.3.3 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 fuel gauge. 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.

8.5.3.4 I²C Clock Stretching
A clock stretch of up to 4 ms 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 (INITIALIZATION, NORMAL) 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.
