Voltage detector of battery assembly
First Claim
1. A voltage detector for a battery assembly having a plurality of unit cells which are connected to each other, the voltage detector comprising:
- a low voltage system circuit, which is supplied with electric power from a low voltage power source different from the battery assembly, the low voltage system circuit including;
an enable pulse output unit which outputs an enable pulse to command detection of a voltage across both terminals of the unit cell; and
a high voltage system circuit, which is supplied with electric power from the battery assembly, the high voltage system circuit including;
a voltage pulse output unit which output a voltage pulse showing a voltage across both terminals of the unit cell;
a switch, which is provided between each unit cell of the battery assembly and the voltage pulse output unit; and
a switch controller, which conducts ON-OFF control of the switch so that the each unit cell is successively connected to the voltage pulse output unit according to the enable pulse inputted from the pulse output unit,

6. A voltage detector for a battery assembly having a plurality of unit cells which are connected to each other, the voltage detector comprising:
-
a detector, which detects a voltage across both terminals of the unit cell according to a period of time from the start of integration of one of a first voltage and a second voltage to when a value of integration of the one of the first voltage and the second voltage becomes equal to an integration value obtained when the other of the first voltage and the second voltage is integrated for a predetermined period of time, wherein the first voltage is a voltage across the both terminals of the unit cell; and
wherein the second voltage is a reference voltage. - View Dependent Claims (7)
