7.1 I²C INTERFACE
The bq27620-G1 supports the standard I²C read, incremental read, quick read, one byte write, and
incremental write functions. The 7 bit device address (ADDR) is the most significant 7 bits of the hex
address and is fixed as 1010101. The first 8-bits of the I²C protocol will; therefore, be 0xAA or 0xAB for
write or read, respectively.

The “quick read” returns data at the address indicated by the address pointer. The address pointer, a
register internal to the I²C communication engine, will increment whenever data is acknowledged by the
bq27620-G1 or the I²C master. “Quick writes” function in the same manner and are a convenient means of
sending multiple bytes to consecutive command locations (such as two-byte commands that require two
bytes of data)
The following command sequences are not supported:
Attempt to write a read-only address (NACK after data sent by master):
Attempt to read an address above 0x6B (NACK command):
7.2 I²C Time Out
The I²C engine will release both SDA and SCL if the I²C bus is held low for 2 seconds. If the bq27620-G1
was holding the lines, releasing them will free them for the master to drive the lines. If an external
condition is holding either of the lines low, the I²C engine will enter the low power sleep mode.
