The analog switch can compensate for temperature dependence of voltages measured from a battery cell before applying the measured voltages to an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. In an embodiment of the analog switch, a first diode is coupled in a backward direction from a flying capacitor, which is coupled to the A/D converter, to correspond to a second diode packaged therewith as a single set. The first diode is positioned in a battery cell voltage input path to store battery cell voltage values in the flying capacitor, while the second diode suppresses a temperature-related difference caused by the first diode to voltages measured from the battery cell. | 2011-08-11 |
20110193527 | Lithium Battery Module - A lithium battery module with multiple-cells connected in parallel is disclosed. The lithium battery module comprises a battery management unit, a power converter (optional) and each cell with an individual charging control switch and a discharging control switch in series connected with the cell and is independent controlled by the battery management unit so that a charger is capable of charging the designate cell or more or disable one among them. | 2011-08-11 |
