  • Publication number: 20190257860
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a voltage detection and determination circuit and a power battery system having the same. The circuit includes: a detection processing module, connected to a voltage sampling end and configured to output a first detection voltage based on a voltage sampled by the voltage sampling end; a detection similarity processing module, configured to imitate the detection processing module, to generate a reference voltage corresponding to the first detection voltage; a current source module, configured to provide a bias current to the detection processing module and the detection similarity processing module; and a comparison processing module, configured to perform comparison processing on the first detection voltage and the reference voltage, to output a voltage detection signal. The circuit uses the detection similarity processing module to imitate the detection processing module, to generate reference voltage, does not need a reference voltage, and has a simple circuit structure.

  • Patent number: 8228032
    Abstract: Voltage balance circuit for dual cell rechargeable battery having a balancing circuit coupled to an integrated control circuit. The balancing circuit can be configured to charge and discharge current during a voltage balancing process allowing a higher charged cell to discharge or dissipate excess capacity to a lower charged cell. The integrated control circuit, having a plurality of modules, can be configured to output balancing directional and timing control signals for signaling the activation and deactivation of the voltage balancing process.
