Publication number: 20230291018Abstract: A charge and discharge control circuit includes an external terminal voltage input port, a positive electrode power supply terminal, a negative electrode power supply terminal, a detector and an external terminal voltage detector connected to the external terminal voltage input port, and a control circuit. The external terminal voltage input port is connected to an external terminal via an external resistor. The positive electrode power supply terminal and the negative electrode power supply terminal are respectively connected to positive and negative electrodes of a secondary cell. The detector outputs a power-down detection signal to the control circuit in a case where the external terminal voltage input port receives a power-down control signal according to turn-on of an external FET, and outputs a power-down release signal to the control circuit in a case where the external FET is turned off and a charger is connected to the external terminal.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2022Publication date: September 14, 2023Applicant: ABLIC Inc.Inventors: Sho HOSHINO, Takashi ONO
