In this embodiment, when the system-on-chip 100 enters the shipping mode, all circuits of the system-on-chip 100 except the wake-up unit 170 are powered off, that is, except the wake-up unit 170 required by the system-on-chip 100 to exit the shipping mode is powered, other circuit units of the system-on-chip 100 are not powered, so that the power of the battery 300 can be further saved, the power consumption of the battery 300 is reduced, the power retention time of the battery 300 is further prolonged, and especially the power retention time of the battery 300 with small capacity can be prolonged.

In this embodiment, the shipping control signal is generated by the system-on-chip 100 to enter the shipping mode when the shipping pin CTL receives the first signal. However, the present application is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments of the present application, the system-on-chip 100 may directly enter the shipping mode when the shipping pin CTL receives the first signal.

In this embodiment, the first signal is a digital code signal, the code signal is pre-agreed at the design time of the system-on-chip and the system circuit, and when the shipping pin receives the code signal, the system-on-chip generates the shipping control signal to enter the shipping mode. For example, the first signal includes two periods of time: the first time period is a high level signal, the second time period is a pulse signal with a predetermined number, where the high level signal is used to trigger an element corresponding to the system-on-chip to activate, for example, to tell the element corresponding to the system-on-chip to prepare for timing or counting, and then the element corresponding to the system-on-chip counts or clocks the received pulse signal (for example, different pulse durations are different), when the number of pulses meets a preset requirement, the system-on-chip generates a shipping control signal, and when the number of pulses does not meet the preset requirement, the element corresponding to the system-on-chip returns to a state where activation is not performed. The first signal is a coded signal of a protocol of the system-on-chip and the system circuit, so that the specific form of the first signal is not limited, complex coding or simple coding can be adopted, and the system-on-chip and the system circuit can be identified by the protocol of the system-on-chip. In addition, when the first signal is relatively complex, the system on chip is reliable and safe, and can prevent false triggering.

In this embodiment, there are three ways to trigger the system-on-chip 100 to generate the shipping control signal when the shipping pin CTL receives the first signal, which are described below. Of course, the way that the shipping pin CTL triggers the system-on-chip 100 to generate the shipping control signal when receiving the first signal is not limited to the following three ways, and in other embodiments of the present application, a person skilled in the art may also set other conventional circuits to trigger the system-on-chip 100 to generate the shipping control signal.

1. In an embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 4 and 5, the first signal includes a pulse signal, and the system on chip 100 further includes a pulse counting unit 420 and a third resistor R3. Here, the shipping pin CTL defaults to a low level, which is realized by grounding the shipping pin CTL via the third resistor R3 in this embodiment, the pulse counting unit 420 outputs a low level signal under normal conditions, and the shipping pin CTL is electrically connected to the pulse counting unit 420. When the shipping pin CTL receives the first signal, the pulse counting unit 420 counts pulses, the pulse counting unit 420 counts by rising edge trigger, when the number of pulses received by the pulse counting unit 420 in a first predetermined time period is greater than or equal to a first predetermined number, the output signal of the pulse counting unit 420 is changed from a low level to a high level, the high level at this time is the shipping control signal, wherein the first predetermined time period and the first predetermined number are preset by the system-on-chip 100, the first predetermined time period is, for example, 10 seconds, 5 seconds, 3 seconds, 1 second, and the like, and the first predetermined number is, for example, 3, 4, 5, and the like, which is designed to prevent false triggering. In the present embodiment, the output terminals of the pulse counting unit 420 are electrically connected to the overcharge voltage protection unit 110, the overdischarge voltage protection unit 190, the discharge overcurrent protection unit 130, the reference voltage generation unit 140, the frequency generation unit 150, the control unit 160, and other units that need to be powered off, respectively, so as to stop the power supply of the units of the system-on-chip 100 except the wake-up unit 170. In addition, in other embodiments of the present application, the output terminal of the pulse counting unit 420 outputs a high level under normal conditions, and the low level is a shipping control signal.

In an embodiment of the present application, original circuits and functions of the over-discharge voltage protection unit 190 in the prior art are fully utilized, and the first switch unit 180 is actively controlled to be turned off through the control pin CTR, and the system-on-chip 100 except for the charge detection unit is actively controlled to be powered off, so that the cost can be reduced.
