Charge/discharge control circuit and battery device provided with same
Provided is a charge/discharge control circuit controllable by a control signal from a controller that is external. The charge/discharge control circuit includes a control circuit configured to, in response to a power-down control signal for transitioning to a power-down state being input from the controller, latch the power-down control signal and block a discharge path from a secondary cell (SC) to the controller.
1. A battery device comprising:
a secondary cell connected to a load which includes a capacity;
a controller connected in parallel with the load to the secondary cell and configured to output a power-down control signal for transitioning to a power-down state;
a discharge control FET configured to block or open a discharge path from the secondary cell to the load and the controller; and
a charge/discharge control circuit connected to the secondary cell in parallel with the load and the controller,
wherein the charge/discharge control circuit comprises:
a control circuit configured to, in response to the power-down control signal being input from the controller, latch the power-down control signal and stop all discharge from the secondary cell to the controller by outputting a discharge inhibit signal for turning off the discharge control FET.
2. The battery device according to claim 1 , wherein the control circuit is configured to output the discharge inhibit signal for turning off the discharge control FET connected between the secondary cell and the controller and block the discharge path.
3. The battery device according to claim 2 , wherein the control circuit comprises:
a latch portion configured to latch the power-down control signal input from the controller and output a latch signal corresponding to the power-down control signal being latched, and
a driver configured to output the discharge inhibit signal in response to the latch signal being input from the latch portion.
