Battery monitoring and control integrated circuit and battery system
A battery monitoring and control integrated circuit is connected to a cell group having a plurality of series-connected single cells for monitoring and controlling the single cells, and includes: a first start input terminal for connecting to a DC signal generation circuit which generates a DC signal based on an AC start signal input from the outside; a start detection unit which detects the DC signal and activates the battery monitoring and control integrated circuit; and a start output unit which outputs the AC start signal to the outside after the activation of the battery monitoring and control integrated circuit.
1. A battery monitoring and control integrated circuit which is connected to a cell group having a plurality of series-connected single cells, and which monitors and controls the single cells, the battery monitoring and control integrated circuit comprising:
a signal input terminal for inputting an AC signal;
a DC signal generation circuit which generates a DC signal based on the AC signal; and
a start detection unit which detects the DC signal and activates the battery monitoring and control integrated circuit;
whereby the DC signal is for activating the battery monitoring and control integrated circuit.
2. The battery monitoring and control integrated circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the DC signal generation circuit is a doubler rectifier circuit.
3. The battery monitoring and control integrated circuit according to claim 2 , wherein the doubler rectifier circuit includes a rectifying element built in the battery monitoring and control integrated circuit.
4. The battery monitoring and control integrated circuit according to claim 1 , further comprising a second input terminal for inputting a second DC signal, wherein the second DC signal is input into the start detection unit not via the DC signal generation circuit.
