  • Patent number: 11824170
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application relate to the field of circuit technologies. A wake-up circuit and a rechargeable device are disclosed. The wake-up circuit includes an input control module, a drive module, and an output control module. The input control module, the drive module, and the output control module each are connected to an auxiliary power supply. The input control module is configured to output a first level signal when an external voltage signal is received. The drive module is configured to, when the first level signal is received, output a second level signal that lasts for a first preset time. The output control module is configured to, when the second level signal is received, output a wake-up signal that lasts for the first preset time to a battery management system. According to this application, the wake-up circuit and the BMS consume less power of the auxiliary power supply.

  • Patent number: 11031789
    Abstract: A battery pack management system includes a controller, an isolation unit, a plurality of battery pack management units, and a plurality of battery packs. The plurality of battery pack management units are connected in series by a first daisy chain, and the plurality of battery pack management units are also connected in series by a second daisy chain. The first daisy chain transmits sampled data that is collected by the battery pack management units from corresponding battery packs and transmits control instructions of the controller. The second daisy chain transmits a failure prompt signal which is generated by a battery pack management unit that detects a failure. A first battery pack management unit and a last battery pack management unit of the plurality of battery pack management units connected in series are connected to the controller through the isolation unit.
