BQ26100 Overview
The bq26100 device provides a method to authenticate battery packs, ensuring that only packs manufactured by authorized sub-contractors are used in the end application. The security is achieved using the SHA-1 hash function inside the widely adopted keyed-hash message authentication code (HMAC) construction. A unique 128-bit key is stored in each bq26100 device, allowing the host to authenticate each pack.
