Communications
The I²C compatible serial communications provides read and write access to the bq29312 data area. The data is
clocked via separate data (SDATA) and clock (SCLK) pins. The bq29312 acts as a slave device and does not
generate clock pulses. Communication to the bq29312 is provided from GPIO pins or an I²C supporting port of a
host system controller. The slave address for the bq29312 is 7 bits and the value is 0100 000 (0x20).

The bq29312 does not have the following functions compatible with the I²C specification.
• The bq29312 is always regarded as a slave.
• The bq29312 does not return a NACK for an invalid register address.
• The bq29312 does not support the general code of the I²C specification, and therefore does not return an
ACK.
• The bq29312 does not support the address auto increment, which allows continuous reading and writing.
• The bq29312 allows data to written or read from the same location without resending the location address.
