比较器405用于对第一电池43和第二电池44的电压进行比较,并向第一PMIC 403或第二PMIC 404输出使能信号,该使能信号用于指示该PMIC打开向对应的电池的充电功能。
如图5所示,该双电池管理电路40的工作原理如下:
S101、比较器405对第一电池43和第二电池44的电压进行比较,并向电压高的电池所耦合的PMIC输出使能信号,以指示对应的PMIC打开对电压高的电池的充电功能。
示例性的,如图6所示,如果第一电池43的电压VBAT1高于第二电池44的电压VBAT2,则比较器405向第一PMIC 403输出使能信号,以指示第一PMIC 403打开充电功能,如果此时插入电源适配器41,则第一PMIC 403导通开关管Q11、开关管Q12、开关管Q14,从而可以向第一电池43输出充电电流以对第一电池43进行充电。
示例性的,如图7所示,如果第二电池44的电压VBAT2高于第一电池43的电压VBAT1,则比较器405向第二PMIC 404输出使能信号,以指示第二PMIC 404打开充电功能,如果此时插入电源适配器41,则第二PMIC 404导通开关管Q21、开关管Q22、开关管Q24,从而可以向第二电池44输出充电电流以对第二电池44进行充电。
对于电池过放导致电子设备关机的场景,电池电压过低(例如2.4V)无法保证整个电子设备的正常运行,仅能保证PMIC的工作。如果此时插入电源适配器41,可以对电压较高的电池进行充电以提高其供电电压,使得电池尽快恢复至能够保证电子设备正常运行的供电电压(例如3V)。因此,比较器405的作用是保证在电池过放导致电子设备关机的场景下,电压相对较高的电池可以快速被充电。
本申请以第一PMIC 403打开充电功能为例进行说明,此时第一PMIC 403作为主PMIC,第二PMIC 404作为从PMIC,但并不意在限定于此。
S102、第一PMIC 403在电子设备开机时检测是由于插入电源适配器41触发的开机或者由于长按开机键触发的开机。
如果是由于长按开机键触发的开机(即并未插入电源适配器41,未在对电池进行充电),第一PMIC 403会在耦合至开机键的管脚(图中未示出)检测到开机信号,此时执行步骤S103-S104。如果是由于插入电源适配器41触发的开机(即在对电池进行充电),第一PMIC 403会在USB_IN1管脚检测到较高的充电电压,执行步骤
S105-S106。
S103、如果第一电池43的电压VBAT1与第二电池44的电压VBAT2之间的电压差小于阈值△Vth(即|VBAT1-VBAT2|<△Vth),则第一PMIC 403和第二PMIC 404将第一电池43和第二电池44导通,使得第一电池43和第二电池44并联进行放电。
以第一PMIC 403作为主PMIC,第二PMIC 404作为从PMIC为例,第一PMIC 403可以通过测量VCHG_OUT1管脚的电压从而得到第一电池43的电压VBAT1,第二PMIC 404可以通过测量VCHG_OUT2管脚的电压从而得到第二电池44的电压VBAT2,再将第二电池44的电压VBAT2发送给第一PMIC 403,由第一PMIC 403比较第一电池43的电压VBAT1与第二电池44的电压VBAT2之间的电压差。
第一PMIC 403导通开关管Q14并处于饱和区,第一PMIC 403指示第二PMIC 404导通开关管Q24并处于饱和区,从而将第一电池43和第二电池44并联,开关管处于饱和区时的导通电流达到最大(即导通电流不再随栅极电压增大而增大),此时对电池的放电电流不作限制,即关闭限流功能,使得电池能够正常为负载供电。如图8所示,第一PMIC 403可以关断开关管Q11、开关管Q12,第二PMIC 404可以关断开关管Q21、开关管Q22,并联的第一电池43和第二电池44可以共同向负载45供电。
电子设备在正常使用过程中(非充电模式下),开关管Q14和开关管Q24始终导通,第一电池43和第二电池44之间的电压差很小,并且可以同步进行放电,互相之间不会产生较大电流,不会损坏电池或PMIC。
S104、如果第一电池43的电压VBAT1与第二电池44的电压VBAT2之间的电压差大于或等于阈值△Vth,则第一PMIC 403和第二PMIC 404将第一电池43与第二电池44导通,第一PMIC 403或第二PMIC 404限制第一电池43与第二电池44之间的导通电流,使得电压高的电池对电压低的电池进行限流充电,直至第一电池43的电压VBAT1与第二电池44的电压VBAT2之间的电压差小于阈值△Vth。
此时,第一PMIC 403导通开关管Q14,第二PMIC 404导通开关管Q24,并且控制开关管Q14或开关管Q24中的一个处于线性阻抗区,通过调节处于线性阻抗区的开关管的等效阻值,即可以调节开关管的导通电流,使得开关管的导通电流受限可控,从而防止第一电池43与第二电池44之间产生较大电流。
示例性的,如图9所示,假设VBAT1>VBAT2+△Vth,第一PMIC 403导通开关管Q14并处于饱和区,并指示第二PMIC 404导通开关管Q24并处于线性阻抗区,此时,第一电池43不仅向负载45供电,还以限流方式对第二电池44进行充电。在此过程中,第一电池43的电压VBAT1与第二电池44的电压VBAT2之间的电压差会逐渐减小,直至第一电池43的电压VBAT1与第二电池44的电压VBAT2之间的电压差小于阈值△Vth,会继续执行步骤S103。
示例性的,如图10所示,假设VBAT2>VBAT1+△Vth,第一PMIC 403导通开关管Q14并处于线性阻抗区,并指示第二PMIC 404导通开关管Q24并处于饱和区,此时,第二电池44不仅向负载45供电,还以限流方式对第一电池43进行充电。在此过程中,第一电池43的电压VBAT1与第二电池44的电压VBAT2之间的电压差会逐渐减小,直至第一电池43的电压VBAT1与第二电池44的电压VBAT2之间的电压差小于阈值△Vth,会继续执行步骤S103。
S105、如果第一电池43的电压VBAT1与第二电池44的电压VBAT2之间的电压差小于阈值△Vth(即|VBAT1-VBAT2|<△Vth),则第一PMIC 403和第二PMIC 404将第一电池43和第二电池44导通,使得第一电池43和第二电池44并联进行充电。
第一PMIC 403导通开关管Q14并处于饱和区,第一PMIC 403指示第二PMIC 404导通开关管Q24并处于饱和区,从而将第一电池43和第二电池44并联,开关管处于饱和区时的导通电流达到最大(即导通电流不再随栅极电压增大而增大),此时对电池的充电电流不作限制,即关闭限流功能,使得电池能够尽快充电。如图11所示,第一PMIC 403和第二PMIC 404不仅向负载45供电,还同时对第一电池43和第二电池44进行充电。
在电子设备充电过程中,开关管Q14和开关管Q24始终导通,第一电池43和第二电池44之间的电压差很小,并且可以同步进行充电,互相之间不会产生较大电流,不会损坏电池或PMIC。另外,当某一个电池先充满时,对应的PMIC可以关闭对该电池进行充电的功能(即关断开关管Q14或Q24),两个PMIC可以继续对另一个未充满的电池进行充电,直至两个电池都充满,解决了多个电池单个PMIC方案中某个电池无法完全充满的问题。
S106、如果第一电池43的电压VBAT1与第二电池44的电压VBAT2之间的电压差大于或等于阈值△Vth,则电压高的电池对应的PMIC停止向电压高的电池进行充电,电压低的电池对应的PMIC打开限流(regulation)功能,第一PMIC 403和第二PMIC 404以限流方式共同对电压低的电池进行充电。
示例性的,如图12所示,假设VBAT1>VBAT2+△Vth,第一PMIC 403关断开关管Q14,并指示第二PMIC 404导通开关管Q24并处于线性阻抗区,此时,第一PMIC 403和第二PMIC 404以限流方式共同对第二电池44进行充电。在此过程中,第一电池43的电压VBAT1与第二电池44的电压VBAT2之间的电压差会逐渐减小,直至第一电池43的电压VBAT1与第二电池44的电压VBAT2之间的电压差小于阈值△Vth,会继续执行步骤S105。
示例性的,如图13所示,假设VBAT2>VBAT1+△Vth,第一PMIC 403导通开关管Q14并处于线性阻抗区,并指示第二PMIC 403关断开关管Q24,此时,第一PMIC 403和第二PMIC 404以限流方式共同对第一电池43进行充电。在此过程中,第一电池43的电压VBAT1与第二电池44的电压VBAT2之间的电压差会逐渐减小,直至第一电池43的电压VBAT1与第二电池44的电压VBAT2之间的电压差小于阈值△Vth,会继续执行步骤S105。
