摘要： A balancing circuit for balancing multiple cells in a battery. The cell balancing circuit includes a first shunt path connected in parallel to a first cell, a controller coupled to the first shunt path, a timer and a storage unit. The controller balances the cells and detects balance conditions of each cell. The timer measures pre-balance times and balance times for each cell. The storage unit stores the pre-balance times and balance times. The controller pre-balances the first cell by enabling the first shunt path for a first pre-balance time and balances the first cell by enabling the first shunt path for a first balance time if an unbalance condition of the first cell is detected by the controller, and updates the first pre-balance time for each balancing cycle based on the first pre-balance time and the first balance time from a previous balancing cycle.

摘要： A power management system adjusts a first output voltage delivered to a load and adjusts a second output voltage delivered to a battery. The power management system includes an error amplifier for comparing the first output voltage with a first voltage reference indicative of an operating voltage of the load and for accordingly generating a first error signal. The power management system further includes a DC/DC converter for adjusting the first output voltage and the second output voltage by adjusting a duty cycle of the DC/DC converter and an error generator for controlling the duty cycle based on the first error signal. If the first output voltage is lower than the first voltage reference, the error generator reduces the duty cycle and a charging current of the battery based on the first error signal.
