  • Publication number: 20160377685
    Abstract: Provided is a technique that contributes to the improvement of voltage measurement accuracy and uniform current consumption of a battery in a voltage measurement device. Switch circuits (SWP and SWN) include switch elements (MP1 and MP2 or MN1 and MN2) which are provided between an input terminal and an output terminal, and switch driving units (401 to 409) which are driven between a first power supply voltage (VCC or GND) and a second power supply voltage (GND or VCC), which are different from each other, with an input voltage interposed therebetween.

  • Publication number: 20160308377
    Abstract: A semiconductor device for battery control is provided with a control circuit capable of controlling turning on/off of a charging transistor provided in a charging path of a battery, a CPU capable of controlling charging of the battery via the control circuit, and a deep discharge detection circuit capable of detecting a deeply discharged state of the battery. The semiconductor device is also provided with a switch circuit which, when a deeply discharged state of the battery is detected by the deep discharge detection circuit, preferentially sends the detection result to the control circuit and, thereby, forcibly turns off the charging transistor regardless of charging control by the CPU. When a deeply discharged state of the battery is detected, the charging path of the battery is shut off to prohibit subsequent charging regardless of charging control by the CPU.

  • Publication number: 20160165688
    Abstract: A power supply topology is used in which a transistor is provided on the side of an output node of a rectifying circuit. An inductor is provided on the side of a reference node, a resistor is inserted between the transistor and the inductor, and one end of the resistor is coupled to a ground power supply voltage of a PFC circuit. The PFC circuit includes a square circuit which squares a result of multiplication of an input voltage detection signal and feedback information (output voltage of an error amplifier circuit). The PFC circuit drives on the transistor when a detection voltage developed at the resistor reaches zero, and drives off the transistor when the detection signal reaches an output signal of the square circuit.

  • Publication number: 20130307551
    Abstract: In an assembled battery including plural cells series-coupled in multiple stages, each voltage measuring unit includes an analog front end unit which measures the voltages of cells, an interface unit for interfacing with a common bus, a voltage measurement control unit which controls the analog front end unit and the interface unit, and an insulating element which allows communication between the voltage measurement control unit and the interface unit in a state of being insulated from each other. The interface unit of each voltage measuring unit is electrically insulated, so that it can be coupled to a low-voltage power supply system of the electrical system that includes the battery system control unit. Since there is no potential difference between the interface unit and the battery system control unit, they can be coupled to each other via the common bus.
