    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit is capable of being supplied with battery current information and battery voltage information. The semiconductor integrated circuit includes a memory function, a current integrating function, a voltage-based state of charge operating function, a current-based state of charge operating function, a comparison determination function, a correcting function, and a resistance deterioration coefficient output function. The memory function stores the relation between a state of charge of a battery and an internal resistance deterioration coefficient thereof. The full charge capacity outputted from the correcting function and the internal resistance deterioration coefficient outputted from the resistance deterioration coefficient output function are stored in the memory function when a voltage-based state of charge and a current-based state of charge compared by the comparison determination function are determined to substantially coincide with each other.

    摘要: A method for determining the maximum capacity a battery to store charge for the benefit of state of charge and state of health determinations, otherwise known as the maximum capacity estimator, is described. In an embodiment, a memory storage unit is used to collect input data from a battery or battery pack over the life cycle of the battery. As the battery operates, discharge cycles are analyzed to determine the similarity between different cycles throughout the operational phase. The maximum capacity at a given time for storing charge is then determined by comparing the trend of capacity loss in similar cycles and then applying that trend to the reduction of the maximum capacity of the battery. This method allows state of health and state of charge measurements to be made and updated with respect to battery degradation without the need for scheduled maintenance checks-ups such as mandatory discharge cycles or impedance/resistance measurements.

    摘要: Current-integration estimation unit estimates the SOC of a battery by integrating the value of the current flowing through the battery. Open-circuit voltage estimation unit estimates the open-circuit voltage value of the battery from a value that includes at least the measured voltage value of the battery and indicates the state of the battery, and identifies the SOC corresponding to the open-circuit voltage value. In neither charged nor discharged state, SOC determination unit employs the SOC estimated by open-circuit voltage estimation unit. In charged or discharged state, SOC determination unit employs the SOC estimated by current-integration estimation unit without change or after correction using the SOC estimated by open-circuit voltage estimation unit. In parallel with the SOC estimation, SOH estimation unit estimates the SOH of the battery based on the variation value of the SOC employed by SOC determination unit and the integrated current value in the time period required for the variation.
