quickstart()

Description

A quick-start allows the MAX17043/MAX17044 to restart fuel-gauge calculations in the same manner as initial power-up of the IC. For example, if an application’s power-up sequence is exceedingly noisy such that excess error is introduced into the IC’s “first guess” of SOC, the host can issue a quick-start to reduce the error. A quick-start is initiated by a rising edge on the QSTRT pin, or through software by calling the quickstart() method.

Parameters

None

Returns

None

Example

This snippet of code shows how to reset the quickstart and wait for it to complete.

//
// Issue a quickstart command and wait
// for the device to be ready.
//
Serial.println("Initiating quickstart mode...");
FuelGauge.quickstart();
delay(125);

Notes

None.
