  • Publication number: 20230147469
    Abstract: A battery monitor system includes: a reference signal generation unit; an excitation signal generation unit; a current generation unit for an excitation current; a current measurement unit for the excitation current; a voltage measurement unit for a voltage of each battery cell; an impedance measurement unit for an impedance of each battery cell; a noise measurement unit for a noise voltage; and a control unit. The control unit selects one or more battery cells not a measurement target, and the noise measurement unit measures the noise voltage near a measurement frequency equal to a frequency of an orthogonal reference signal while operating the voltage measurement unit without operating the current generation unit.

  • Publication number: 20230126560
    Abstract: A battery monitoring system includes a battery monitoring ECU and battery monitoring devices which are sequentially connected in a connection configuration. The battery monitoring ECU includes a clock generator that generates a first clock signal. Each battery monitoring device includes a second clock generator that generates a second clock signal, a controller that causes a frequency correction block to correct a frequency of the second clock signal in line with the first clock signal and causes the battery monitor to monitor a battery cell using the second clock signal that has been corrected, and a switch that, according to an instruction of the battery monitoring ECU, switches a circuit configuration to a state in which a signal received from a preceding device is transmitted to a succeeding device in the connection configuration.
