Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for calibrating a heater used to heat an adjustable resistance network during a trimming procedure. In one example, a circuit is provided that includes an adjustable resistance network including first resistance segments; a heater element thermally coupled to the adjustable resistance network; a calibration resistor including second resistance segments thermally coupled to the first resistance segments; and interface circuitry coupled to the calibration resistor.
Abstract: An electrical energy store has a plurality of storage modules, each of which has at least one temperature sensor string having a temperature sensor in the form of a temperature-dependent resistor for measuring the storage module temperature, and a battery control unit, which, based on the resistance values of the temperature sensor strings, determines the temperatures at the respective temperature sensors. The battery control unit is designed to determine a respective storage module type based on the measured resistance values of the temperature sensor strings.
