This first comparator 115, its backward end couple the tie point of this second resistance R 2 and this first resistance R 1, and non-return end couples the tie point of this first battery BAT1 and this second battery BAT2.
Can normal running in order to ensure battery balanced charging controller 100; battery balanced charging controller 100 can more comprise a processing unit 105, and this processing unit 105 can comprise an over-temperature protection unit, a brownout lock cell and starts circuit for detecting.
This over-temperature protection unit, in order to the temperature of detecting battery balanced charging controller 100, after this temperature surpassed an overheat protector temperature, this over-temperature protection unit produced an overheat protector signal, to avoid battery balanced charging controller 100 overheated damages.
This brownout lock cell, couple the anode of this first battery BAT1 and the negative terminal of this second battery BAT2, when this two ends potential difference is lower than a predetermined starting resistor, this brownout lock cell produces a brownout signal, when avoiding operating voltage not enough, battery balanced charging controller 100 malfunctions.
This starts circuit for detecting, starts this battery balanced charging controller 100 after receiving the enabling signal EA of a high levle, just moves when this first battery BAT1 and this second battery BAT2 enter charged state to guarantee battery balanced charging controller 100.Therefore, when enabling signal EA (or enabling signal EA is a low level) was not arranged, battery balanced charging controller 100 was interior for closing (Off) state, battery balanced charging controller 100 power consumption hardly.So non-when the charged state of battery, battery balanced charging controller 100 can not consume the electric power of battery, and goodish energy-saving advantages is arranged.
This NAND gate 120, couple this processing unit 105 and this first comparator 110, switching with this first switch of signal controlling Q1 of being exported according to this processing unit 105 and this first comparator 110, and cross low and damage this first switch Q1 for fear of the signal level that this NAND gate 120 is exported, this NAND gate 120 can be connected in a voltage Vr1 who is higher than this second battery BAT2 negative terminal voltage, to avoid exporting the signal of low level.
Be somebody's turn to do and door 125, couple this processing unit 105 and this second comparator 115, switching with this second switch of signal controlling Q2 of being exported according to this processing unit 105 and this second comparator 115, and it is too high and damage this second switch Q2 for fear of this and door 125 signal level of being exported, should can be connected in an operating voltage Vr2 who is lower than the positive terminal voltage of this first battery BAT1 with door 125, to avoid exporting the signal of high levle.
For avoid this first switch Q1 and this second switch Q2 simultaneously this first switch Q1 of conducting and this second switch Q2 big electric current of flowing through damage, battery balanced charging controller 100 can comprise a time delay cell, couple this balancing circuitry and this switch module, the time point of arbitrary conducting of this first switch Q1 and this second switch will be later than more than one scheduled time of another time point that the ends length, can avoid the problem of switch conducting simultaneously.
Specify the operational scenario of battery balanced charging controller 100 of the present invention below.When enabling signal EA is a high levle, when representing this first battery BAT1 of this battery module and this second battery BAT2 to enter charged state, this processing unit 105 can judge whether the voltage difference of first end (i.e. the anode of first battery) of this battery module and second end (i.e. the negative terminal of second battery) is lower than the temperature high abnormality of mistake whether of being scheduled to starting resistor and battery balanced charging controller 100.If all normally then this processing unit 105 send the high levle signal battery balanced charging controller 100 come into operation, otherwise send the running that the low level signal stops battery balanced charging controller 100.
Suppose that this first battery BAT1 to be charged and this second battery BAT2 are lithium battery, rated voltage is 3.7V, and voltage is 4.2V when being full of electricity, and the voltage of this first battery BAT1 and this second battery BAT2 is respectively 2.8V and 2.5V at present.When this battery module place cradle when charging, the voltage that this battery module provides be 5.3V (=2.8V+2.5V), therefore should go up reference potential V+ and be
Figure S2008101257671D00091
This time reference potential V-is
Figure S2008101257671D00092
Wherein, R1: R2: R 3=100: 1: 100.At this moment, the voltage signal DET of the tie point of this first battery BAT1 and this second battery BAT2 is 2.5V, so one first comparison signal of this first comparator 110 output high levles and one second comparison signal of these second comparator, 115 output low levels.Without any under the abnormality, this processing unit 105 is also exported a high levle signal, so, should this second switch Q2 (is N type metal-oxide half field effect transistor at present embodiment) be ended with door 125 output low level signals, and this NAND gate 120 output low level signals make this first switch Q1 (is P type metal-oxide half field effect transistor at present embodiment) conducting, make an equilibrium charging electric current this first switch Q1 that flows through.So, the charging current of this first battery BAT1 that will more higher cell voltage than this second battery BAT2 of low battery voltages is a many equilibrium charging electric current, the cell voltage of two batteries so charging process can further gradually.When above-mentioned example is lower than this time reference potential V-for the current potential DET of this tie point, this equilibrium charging electric current this first switch Q1 that can flow through, and when the current potential DET of this tie point is higher than on this reference potential V+, represent the cell voltage of this first battery lower, this equilibrium charging electric current this second switch Q2 that can flow through.
Because the present invention is a dividing potential drop of utilizing resistance, producing reference potential according to the ratio of the resistance value of resistance need to judge whether this equilibrium charging electric current to come equilibrium charging, so after the difference of the cell voltage of this first battery BAT1 and this first battery BAT2 approaches to a predetermined percentage, battery balanced charging controller 100 will be by this first switch Q1 and this second switch Q2, in above-mentioned example, this predetermined percentage is 1%.
When the cell voltage of this first battery BAT1 and this second battery BAT2 in charging process; when this switch module or other factors cause the temperature of battery balanced charging controller 100 to be higher than predetermined overheat protector temperature because this equilibrium charging electric current is flowed through, circuit abnormality makes the operating voltage of battery balanced charging controller 100 be lower than predetermined starting resistor or enabling signal EA is transformed into states such as low level, this processing unit 105 will be exported a low level signal and stop this battery balanced charging controller and remove until above-mentioned state.Because some noises on the circuit may make the current potential DET of this tie point be lower than this time reference potential V-and be higher than reference potential V+ on this simultaneously, and cause this first switch Q1 and this second switch Q2 conducting simultaneously.Therefore, battery balanced charging controller 100 can increase the time delay unit of being made up of a very first time delayer 130 and one second time delay device 135, avoids the problem of this first switch Q1 and this second switch Q2 conducting simultaneously.When these NAND gate 120 output low level signals make this first switch Q1 conducting, to make this and door 125 output low level signals that this second switch Q2 is ended, until these NAND gate 120 output high levles this first switch Q1 is ended, and behind a scheduled delay of this very first time delayer 130, should just may export the high levle signal with door 125 and make this second switch Q2 conducting.In the same manner, when this makes this second switch Q2 conducting with door 125 output high levle signals, to make these NAND gate 120 output high levle signals that this first switch Q1 is ended, until this with the door 125 output low levels make this first switch Q1 by and behind the scheduled delay of this second time delay device 135, this NAND gate 120 just may be exported the low level signal and make this first switch Q1 conducting.So, it is above and avoid the problem of conducting simultaneously that the time point that can guarantee arbitrary conducting of this first switch Q1 and this second switch Q2 will be later than one scheduled time of another time point that ends length.
Battery balanced charging controller 100 of the present invention not only can be used in the usefulness of two series connected battery equilibrium chargings, also can be applied to the usefulness of three or above series connected battery equilibrium charging simultaneously.When (N+1) individual battery unit that connects with the series connection form is arranged in the battery module, can use N battery balanced charging controller, make any two battery units that are connected all have a battery balanced charging controller to come equilibrium charging.
