Abstract

Provided is a battery monitoring circuit board on which a plurality of battery monitoring ICs that are electrically connected to a plurality of battery cells and monitor a state of each of the battery cells are mounted. The battery monitoring circuit board includes a first mounting region on which a current consumption element that is electrically connectable to the battery monitoring IC is mounted. The first mounting region is provided for each of the battery monitoring ICs.

Claims (17)

1. A battery monitoring circuit board on which a plurality of battery monitoring ICs that are electrically connected to a plurality of battery cells and monitor a state of each of the battery cells are mounted, the battery monitoring circuit board comprising:

a ground pattern;

a first mounting region, on which a current consumption element that is electrically connected between the battery monitoring IC and the ground pattern is mounted;

a second mounting region on which each battery monitoring IC is mounted, the second mounting region including first land patterns that are disposed on sides of the battery monitoring IC and are electrically connected between the battery monitoring IC and the battery cell and between the battery monitoring IC and the current consumption element,

wherein the first mounting region is provided for each of the battery monitoring ICs, and

wherein the first mounting region includes

a second land pattern that is on the current consumption element and is electrically connected between the battery monitoring IC and the current consumption element, and

a third land pattern that is on the current consumption element and is electrically connected between the current consumption element and the ground pattern.

2. A battery monitoring device comprising:

the battery monitoring circuit board according to claim 1 ; and

the plurality of battery monitoring ICs mounted on the battery monitoring circuit board,

wherein the plurality of battery monitoring ICs include a first battery monitoring IC and a second battery monitoring IC,

wherein the number of battery cells electrically connected to the first battery monitoring IC and the number of battery cells electrically connected to the second battery monitoring IC are different from each other, and

wherein the current consumption element is mounted while being connected to at least any one of the first battery monitoring IC and the second battery monitoring IC such that current consumption in the first battery monitoring IC and current consumption in the second battery monitoring IC are approximately equalized.

3. The battery monitoring device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the number of battery cells electrically connected to the first battery monitoring IC is larger than the number of battery cells electrically connected to the second battery monitoring IC, and

wherein the current consumption element is mounted while being connected only to the second battery monitoring IC.
