    摘要: A controller for detecting voltages of battery cells in a battery pack includes converters coupled to the battery cells and switching units. An anode of each battery cell is coupled to a respective converter through a respective first path, and a cathode of each battery cell is coupled to the respective converter through a respective second path. The switching units are coupled between the battery cells and the converters. The converters are coupled to anodes of the battery cells through the switching units. When a switching unit corresponding to a battery cell is turned on, an anode of the battery cell provides an operating current and a sampling current through a respective first path to a respective converter, and the operating current flows from the anode of the battery cell through the respective converter to ground.

    摘要: In a battery management controller, analog-to-digital conversion circuitry converts analog signals, indicative of a battery voltage, a battery current, and a battery temperature, to digital signals. A memory stores a remaining-capacity lookup table that includes multiple groups of data. Each group of data includes a voltage, a current, a temperature, and a parameter associated with a remaining capacity corresponding to the voltage, the current and the temperature. A processor searches the lookup table for a current parameter value and an end-of-discharge parameter value based on the digital signals, and estimates a full available charge capacity of the battery based on the current parameter value and the end-of-discharge parameter value. The processor also counts the amount of charges flowing through the battery based on a battery current. The processor further estimates an available state of charge of the battery according to the full available charge capacity and the amount of charges.

    摘要: An analog to digital converter (ADC) converts an analog signal to a digital signal. The ADC includes an input channel, a sampling circuit coupled to the input channel, an integrator coupled to the sampling circuit, and a feedback circuit coupled to the integrator. The input channel receives the analog signal. The sampling circuit samples the analog signal. The integrator receives the sampled analog signal and a feedback signal and integrates a superposition of the sampled analog signal and the feedback signal. The feedback circuit generates the digital signal according to an output of the integrator and sends the feedback signal indicative of the digital signal to the integrator.

The selector circuit is responsive to an output signal from an associated power management unit. The selector circuit is further configured to permit parallel operation of two or more of the batteries. The selector circuit may further act to independently verify power conditions and override instructions from the PMU in certain instances to enhance power supply safety and battery life such as by preventing inter battery current flow from a higher potential battery to a lower potential battery coupled in parallel. A power supply block including the selector circuit and an electronic device including the power supply block is also provided. The selector circuit may be integrated with a charging circuit on one integrated circuit.
