8.1.2 Power Mode Tones

Stack devices are woken up by tones. A tone is a set number of specific couplets sent through the differential communication lines COMH and COML. When a device wakes up by a tone, this is not a base device but must be a stack device. The device configures the COMH and COML port based on stack or base detection accordingly. There is a total of four different power modes related to tones as seen in Figure 8-4. In addition, there are two extra tones related to FAULT. See Device Fault Summary, Fault Tone, and Heartbeat sections in the BQ79616-Q1 data sheet for details.

  • a WAKE tone through COMH/L
  • a SLEEPtoACTIVE tone through COMH/L
  • a SHUTDOWN tone through COMH/L
  • a HW_RESET tone through COMH/L
