    摘要: Digital, serial communication over an interface between an electronic device (102) and a battery (103) attached thereto comprises transmission of bytes (300) consisting of a number of bits. Each bit is defined by one of a high level and a low level, and a leading bit (304) of each byte is of a first one of said high and low levels. The method comprises the step of transmitting the other of the high and low levels for a first period of time (403, 405) immediately prior to said leading bit (304). When the leading bit of a byte is always of the same level (i.e. either high or low) and a period of the opposite level precedes the leading bit, it is very easy and simple to ensure that the sending as well as the receiving party is ready for the communication to take place and adjusted to the actual direction of communication.

    摘要: An electronic circuit board (6) has a surface. with at least one conducting island (7), and the surface is arranged proximate to a first insulating material (3) having a number of holes (8) which correspond to at least some of the conducting islands (7) and through which the conducting islands (7) may be reached. At an end thereof facing the surface, each hole (9) has an area which is larger than the area of the corresponding conducting island (7). A conducting area (10; 14, 15, 16, 17) adapted to carry off an electrostatic discharge (ESD) is located on the surface proximate to the conducting islands (7) and within the area of the holes (8), and elements (9; 19) of a second insulating material are provided in the holes (8). Thus the electronic circuit board can withstand electrostatic discharges without the circuitry of the board being damaged.

    摘要: It is shown a method and an apparatus for determining a temperature of a battery pack connected via a single communication line to an electric device. The battery pack and electric device both include control and signaling units capable of exchanging digital signal sequences. The batter pack includes an impedance unit having a temperature dependent impedance value. Signaling between the battery pack and the electric device is followed by a sequence of steps where the control and signaling unit of the battery pack is disconnected from the communication line and the temperature dependent impedance unit is connected to the communication line. Electric current is supplied to the impedance unit via the communication line and a voltage level is measured on the communication line. Then an impedance value is calculated based on the supplied current level and the measured voltage level. An interpretation of the calculated impedance value as a temperature of the battery pack is then performed, followed by disconnection of the temperature dependent impedance unit, and reconnection of the control and signaling unit of the battery pack to the communication line.
