Description

Multisection battery core management system
Technical field
The invention relates to a kind of battery dump energy management framework, particularly relevant for a kind of battery (battery with multi cells) dump energy management system that is applicable to Multisection battery core.
Background technology
Battery can say all portable electron device power resources, and for example: mobile phone, notebook computer, personal digital assistant, walkman etc. all depend on battery that electric power is provided.But battery is a kind of device of accumulating electric weight after all, when portable electron device uses with regard to the electric energy of consuming cells.When portable electron device was unlocked so that the time spent, battery electric power will continue to be consumed until this portable electron device is closed or remaining electric energy when being not enough to drive this device, and portable electron device will be forced to close.The represented meaning of the latter is that the electric power that is stored in the battery is lower than a critical value.Generally speaking, no matter consider with environmental protection, perhaps with long-time overall average cost thinking, the many modes that can take battery recharge of portable electron device replenish the electric energy that originally consumes return.
The good battery of one battery management program can be repeated to charge hundreds of times usually, even reaches thousands of times.On the other hand, because the endurance of battery is also often judged the quality of notebook computer, therefore, most notebook computers not only requires the battery capacity of single battery itself to want high, more require a power brick to include the not only battery of a joint, for example the battery of at least two joints even four joints or six joints.Thus, because the contained chemical property of every batteries core itself and the consumption that all may make every batteries core electric weight at the relative position of power brick difference to some extent, therefore, the management of battery is with regard to relatively than only having the single battery core to come more complicatedly.
See also the power brick of Multisection battery core managing electric quantity framework shown in Figure 1 and the schematic diagram of notebook computer relativeness.Power brick 10 among Fig. 1 has comprised Multisection battery core 15; battery protecting circuit 20, battery behavior detection module 25, battery electric quantity computing module 30 (gauge); from SMBus (SystemManagement Bus, System Management Bus) controller 40s, P+ and P-.Wherein, P+ and P-are the power lines that power brick offers notebook computer 50, and perhaps notebook computer 50 charges to power brick through said power.Battery protecting circuit 20 comprises the comparator that overcharges, (not shown) such as overdischarge comparator, overcurrent comparator and MOS FET, and battery behavior detection module 25 then comprises non-electrical detection module 25a and electrical detection module 25b.Non-electrical detection module 25a such as battery surface temperature detect, and electrical detection module 25b then is the detection of charge and discharge electric current and every batteries core voltage of battery 15.Battery capacity is calculated module 30 and is then comprised a microprocessor, microprocessor is take the voltage data of battery behavior detection module 25 output, current data, temperature data as foundation, and the program of being deposited by the read-only memory of microprocessor or other EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memo) (EEPROM) or flash memory calculates the dump energy of battery 15.As for then being a kind of communication interface from SMBus controller 40s, use and use the portable electron device of this power brick, such as notebook computer 50 communications.
On the other hand, notebook computer 50 has then comprised main SMBus controller 40m and has embedded controller (embedded controller corresponding to the part of power brick 10; At this and hereinafter referred to as EC) 45.Main SMBus controller 40m and from SMBus controller 40s as its name suggests wherein, the two has principal and subordinate (master-slave) relation.Main SMBus controller 40m has active to asking the electric quantity data ability from SMBus controller 40s, then is passive response from SMBus controller 40s.
For notebook computer 50, EC 45 is built in the keyboard controller in being.Be different from desktop computer, the keyboard controller of notebook computer has comprised a microprocessor, in conjunction with main SMBus controller 40m, and can be via the data that require battery capacity from SMBus controller 40s to power brick.EC 45 has been arranged, it does not need to take notebook computer 50 CPU resource and can manage separately the electric weight of battery, and electric quantity data is offered monitoring and the management of operating system to carry out battery electric quantity of notebook computer.
Another kind of known Multisection battery core managing electric quantity framework sees also schematic diagram shown in Figure 2.
Power brick 210 among Fig. 2 has comprised Multisection battery core 215, battery protecting circuit 220, and non-electrical detection module 225a is from SMBus controller 240s.Corresponding notebook computer 250 ends have then comprised main SMBus controller 240m and EC and battery electric quantity computing module (gauge) 230, electrical detection module 225b.P+ and P-, just like above-mentioned be power line.
Wherein, main SMBus controller 40m and from the principal and subordinate (master-slave) of SMBus controller 40s relation, just like the framework of known Fig. 1, but electrical detection module 230 and electric weight computing module then utilize respectively the hardware of notebook computer 250 end keyboard controller itself and the firmware among the EC 230 to finish.Electrical detection module 225b obtains the terminal voltage of Multisection battery core 215 via the output of an end P-of Multisection battery core 215 and battery protecting circuit 220; therefore; what it measured is terminal voltage, charging current and the discharging current of whole Battery pack core, and the firmware of EC 230 also can't be managed each batteries core.
The Multisection battery core management framework (Fig. 1) that relatively the first is traditional and the second tradition Multisection battery core management framework (Fig. 2), can find respectively has its pluses and minuses.The second tradition Multisection battery core management framework can reduce the cost of power brick, because its hardware and software of having used on the EC 230 is finished the measurement of Multisection battery core 215 dump energies, but shortcoming is the voltage that it can not obtain the single battery core, and this is disadvantageous for the single battery core management of Multisection battery core 215.And the first tradition Multisection battery core management framework amount to be the voltage of each batteries core, can manage each batteries core, but shortcoming is that the cost of power brick can be higher, because power brick 10 just needs correction and measurement complete but consuming time when dispatching from the factory, in addition, power brick 10 needs a built-in microprocessor to reach relevant detection module in the inner.
In view of this, wish in the industry to propose a kind of advantage Multisection battery core management framework that comprises above-mentioned two kinds of traditional Multisection battery core management frameworks.
