  • Publication number: 20230231407
    Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor device capable of stably estimating an internal temperature of a battery. A semiconductor device coupled to a battery calculates entropy heat of the battery at a predetermined time by using a charging current of the battery and an internal temperature of the battery at a time before a predetermined time, calculates a heat generation amount of the battery from the charging current of the battery, calculates a heat radiation amount of the battery based on a temperature difference between the internal temperature at the time before the predetermined time and a surface temperature of the battery, and estimates an internal temperature of the battery at the predetermined time by using the entropy heat, the heat generation amount and the heat radiation amount.

  • Publication number: 20180205342
    Abstract: The present invention provides a motor driving method, a battery pack, and a semiconductor device capable of variable-controlling a bus voltage from a battery pack. A battery pack outputting a bus voltage to a positive voltage node using a negative voltage node as a reference, an inverter unit converting the bus voltage to AC voltage by switching according to a PWM signal and driving a motor, and a motor control unit generating the PWM signal are used. The motor control unit outputs a voltage instruction signal for instructing the bus voltage toward the battery pack. The battery pack variable-controls the number of cells coupled in parallel between the positive voltage node and the negative voltage node so as to obtain the bus voltage according to the voltage instruction signal.
