HDQ Interface
The bq2028 supports a single-wire, open-drain communication interface that supports the HDQ protocol as
shown in Figure 5. The HDQ protocol is based on the Texas Instruments HDQ standard as discussed in the TI
application report (SLUA408A) (http://focus.ti.com.cn/cn/lit/an/slua408a/slua408a.pdf ).
The communication protocol is asynchronous return-to-one referenced to Vss. A passive pullup resistance is
required to pull the HDQ line to a high state when neither the host nor the slave is pulling the line low during two-
way communication over the single wire interface. The interface uses a command-based protocol, where the
host sends a command byte to the HDQ slave device. The command directs the slave to either receive or
transmit the next byte of data. The last transmitted bit of the command byte determines the direction of the data
(read or write) as shown in Figure 7.

Device Control
Using a register address access method, the HDQ command byte limits addressing to 7 bits so a mapping
scheme is necessary to differentiate device control and status registers from EEPROM data. This register and
paged EEPROM access scheme is shown in Figure 8.

EEPROM Access
The bq2028 provides 512 bytes of EEPROM non-volatile memory storage organized as 128 words x 32 bits. Due
to the address limitations of the HDQ interface protocol, the EEPROM is accessed in 8 pages, with 16 rows of 4
bytes each. For IC manufacturing and analog trim data, 16 bytes or 4 words are reserved in last page of data.
The access model terminology is listed below:

Reset Undefined
BUSY (bit 7): Busy flag. This bit is normally ‘0’ and is set to ‘1’ when the device is performing an extended
duration function such as device initialization, an ADC measurement or EEPROM write. Upon completion of
the function, the BUSY bit will automatically clear to ‘0’.
ADC_DRDY (bit 6): ADC Data ready flag. This bit indicates that conversion data is ready in the ADC Data
Registers (ADHI and ADLOW). This bit is cleared by setting the CONV bit in the Control register.
PGEN_ERR (bit 5): Page Enable Error flag. This indicates that an EEPROM write was attempted to a page
that was not enabled for write-access.
MEM_WR (bit 4): Memory Write flag. This bit is set during the EEPROM memory access scheme when the
Map bit is set with an HDQ write command. This bit is cleared if the Map bit is set with an HDQ read
command or upon completion of an EEPROM program cycle. Refer to Figure 10.
RSTBIT (bit 2): This bit is set to ‘1’ when the device has reset due to a Power On Reset (POR) event or a
soft reset initiated by the Control:Reset bit. The RSTBIT will remain set to ‘1’ until the Control:RSTCLR bit is
set to ‘1’.
MEM_ERR (bit 1): This bit is set to ‘1’ when the device detects an EEPROM memory error. Refer to
Figure 10. This bit, along with CRCB_ERR, is cleared using the Control:ERRCLR bit.
CRCB_ERR (bit 0): This bit is set to ‘1’ when the device detects a BUFFER memory error after computing a
CRC check. Refer to Figure 10. This bit, along with MEM_ERR, is cleared using the Control:ERRCLR bit.
CONV (bit 7): Convert command bit. This bit is used to start an ADC conversion when set to ‘1’ and is
automatically cleared at the end of data conversion cycle in order to minimize HDQ traffic. At the start of
data conversion, the device sets the Status:BUSY flag and automatically clears the Status:ADC_DRDY flag
to indicate data conversion is in progress. When data conversion is complete, both the CONV bit and BUSY
flag are cleared and the ADC_DRDY flag is set. To abort an ADC conversion in process, the host can clear
the CONV bit to ‘0’.
ERRCLR (bit 4): A ‘1’ written to this bit will clear both the Status:MEM_ERR and CRCB_ERR bits. This bit
auto-clears itself so a readback always reads ‘0’.
SLEEP (bit 3): A ‘1’ written to this bit enables a lower-power mode with the HFO disabled. This bit is
automatically cleared upon detection of HDQ communication activity. Therefore a readback of this bit over
HDQ will always be ‘0’.
Note: If SLEEP mode is commanded, the host should wake up the bq2028 by issuing an HDQ break pulse
with no associated data, followed by a wait period of at least 200 us (tSLWU), then send a second HDQ
break pulse with the first command.
RSTCLR (bit 2): A ‘1’ written to this bit will clear the Status:RSTBIT flag and auto-clear itself so a readback
always reads ‘0’.
RESET (bit 1): A ‘1’ written to this bit will initiate a full device initialization. The device will auto-clear the
RESET bit and set the Status:RSTBIT and Status:BUSY flags at the start of initialization. After initialization
is complete the device will clear the BUSY flag.
SHUTDOWN (bit 0): A ‘1’ written to this bit will initiate a full device Shutdown. This bit is automatically
cleared upon a POR and must be cleared for correct HDQ activity. Therefore a readback of this bit over
HDQ will always be ‘0’.
Note: If SHUTDOWN mode is commanded, the host should wake up the bq2028 by issuing an HDQ break
pulse with no associated data, followed by a wait period of at least 15ms (tSHWU), then send a second HDQ
break pulse with the first command.
Page[2:0]: This contains the current 3-bit Page pointer for EEPROM access.
VRVDD (bit 6): Voltage reference selection bit. This bit selects which voltage reference (either VDD or
internal VREF) is used by the ADC.
1 – Selects VDD as the ADC reference voltage for ratio metric conversions
0 – Selects the internal VREF as the ADC reference voltage
CHAN[2:0] (bits 2–0): ADC Channel selection bits. Set to VTEMP (‘101’) to measure the internal die
temperature sensor or set to VSS (‘111’) for measuring ADC offset.
CHCH[7:0]: CRC-8 data from the previous HDQ packet. Data is computed using the full 16-bit HDQ
package sequence included W/R bit, 7-bit command and 8-bit data.
Row[3:0]: This contains the current 4-bit Row pointer for a particular page. The value is automatically
updated by Mapped access to the EEPROM.
DeviceRev[7:0]: The read-only register returns the hardware device revision value The initial revision is
0x01 and increments by 1 for each design revision.
DeviceRev[7:0]: This read-only register returns the unique device identification value which provides a
method for the host to distinguish the bq2028 from other HDQ devices. The DeviceID for the bq2028 =
0x28.
CRCR[7:0]: This register contains the last BUFFER CRC computation result.
CRCT[7:0]: This register contains the CRC computation target for verifying the BUFFER contents prior to
writing the data to EEPROM. This method is used to prevent EEPROM data corruption due to interrupted
HDQ transfers or communication errors. An HDQ write to this register triggers the comparison of the CRC
previously calculated as BUFFER data is loaded from the HDQ interface. If the MEM_WR flag is set and
the CRCT target register matches the CRCR result register, the device will write the BUFFER to the
EEPROM using the current ROW and PAGE register values. Then a read-back of the EEPROM will be re-
checked to confirm the integrity of the memory write. Refer to flow chart in Figure 10 for CRC initialization
and computations. An HDQ read of this register returns the previously written target value.
MANWREN (Bit 0): A ‘1’ enables write access to the Page 0 Manufacturer’s area registers and associated
EEPROM locations 0x30 through 0x3F. Users of the bq2028 may only change the PageEn register (0x031)
without adversely changing manufacturing trim data.
PageEn[X]: Each bit maps to the associated EEPROM page and enables write access. An attempt to write
to Page[X] with PageEn[X]=0 will cause the PGEN_ERR bit to be set in the Status Register. This register
has a hardware write protection feature. To write to this register, the MANWREN bit must be set in the
Control 2 Register. This register is automatically loaded at reset with data stored in the EEPROM memory
(page 0, byte address 0x31)
1 – Page[X] is writable
0 – Page[X] is read-only
Refer to the table below for example data sequences and the expected CRC:
The CRC-8 function is typically used for verification of EEPROM data integrity via the BUFFER. To prevent
EEPROM memory corruption, BUFFER data will not be written to EEPROM without passing a CRC verification
check. Refer to the Figure 10 flow-char for the HDQ Access Method related to CRC computation and verification.
The additional complexity of this CRC-8 computation method is provided to minimize HDQ overhead traffic when
performing data integrity checks on variable length data elements.
The CRC-8 function is initiated on every HDQ data transfer with the result of the previous CRC-8 stored in the
CRCH register. The CRCH register is typically used for single HDQ data packet integrity checks. Since the HDQ
protocol shifts data with the LSB arriving first, the CRC is computed in this order:
A0:A6, R/W, D0-D7.
Note: This is the opposite bit ordering from the BUFFER CRC-8 computations.

and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all
medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.
TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).
Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications
and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory
requirements in connection with such selection.
Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
