  • Reset circuit for battery management system
    Patent number: 11567549
    Abstract: A battery cell monitoring circuit comprises an input pin; a reset command detection circuit comprising an integrator circuit coupled to the input pin; a counter circuit coupled to an output terminal of the integrator circuit; and a one-shot circuit coupled to an output terminal of the counter circuit; a logic gate coupled to an output terminal of the one-shot circuit; and a reset circuit coupled to the logic gate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 29, 2020
    Date of Patent: January 31, 2023
    Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED
    Inventors: Vishnu Vardhan Ravinuthula, Wan Laan Jackie Hui, Indranil Gangopadhyay, Quanqing Hu, Madhu Dundaiah
  • System monitor
    Patent number: 11340975
    Abstract: At least some aspects of the disclosure provide for a system. In at least some examples, the system includes a microcontroller, an energy storage element, a monitoring circuit, and a communication bridge. The monitoring circuit is coupled to the energy storage element and configured to determine whether a fault associated with the energy storage element is present, generate an indication of the fault when the fault with the energy storage element is present, and transmit the indication of the fault. The communication bridge is configured to receive the indication of the fault and assert a fault signal and transmit the fault signal to the microcontroller.
