The charge/discharge unit 108 is connected to an external power device, and the charge/discharge unit 108 is used for voltage adjustment of the battery string.
The circuit further comprises an equalization switch matrix 111 connected to the equalization unit 110, which is different from the prior art in that the negative electrode of the equalization switch of the embodiment of the present application is fixed to the ground terminal of the system, and the negative electrode of the equalization switch of the embodiment of the present application corresponds to the negative terminal of the battery to be equalized, that is, the negative terminal of the matrix switch is floating, which is to use the switching tube of low voltage for equalization.
The following describes an analog front-end circuit of a battery management system and an application method thereof in detail.
Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of an analog front end circuit of another battery management system according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 2, the main function of the analog front end AFE is to equalize the current of each battery, collect the voltage and current of each battery, and the temperature of a specific point of a battery string. The equalization in the embodiment of the application supports active equalization and passive equalization, and the shared pins for active equalization and passive equalization do not need extra pins to support active equalization in the prior art. The acquisition of the battery voltage uses multiple SAR ADCs (through voltage detection switches C0-Cn), so that the information of each battery voltage can be obtained as soon as possible, and if the Sigma-Delta ADC is used for acquiring the battery voltage, the time required for obtaining all the battery voltages is tens of times longer than that required for using the SAR ADC, and a certain risk exists in judging the battery state. The temperature and current acquisition uses a Sigma-Delta ADC because both parts require higher accuracy than voltage and the current and temperature change unlike voltage, so the application uses a Sigma-Delta ADC in the current and temperature acquisition embodiment.
The switches used in the embodiment of the application are switches using low-voltage devices, and a differential mode is adopted without using high-voltage devices, so that the chip area can be saved, and the implementation difficulty of the ADC under the working of wide voltage and full temperature range can be reduced. The AFE has a corresponding circuit for each battery, and the method directly detects whether the battery is over-heated, over-voltage or over-current by simulating a preset threshold value. The AFE needs to balance which battery, need to detect which battery, or poll to detect battery strings all are done by the digital control logic unit. The numerical values of the SAR ADC and the Sigma-Delta ADC in the AFE are output to a digital control logic unit, the digital control logic unit judges the state of each battery, and if any battery has overvoltage, overtemperature or overcurrent, the digital circuit can generate an alarm signal and output the alarm signal to a pin to be processed by an upper computer; in addition, the digital control logic unit of the embodiment of the application can judge whether the behavior is abnormal or caused by transient load pulse according to the value and the speed of voltage and temperature change.
The embodiment of the application also provides a negative temperature coefficient thermistor (NTC Thermistor) externally connected with at least 4 paths, which can monitor the temperature of the chip of the embodiment of the application and the temperature of as many single batteries as possible. The temperature sensor adopts a Sigma-Delta ADC mode, and is internally matched with a chopper and current minor circuit, so that the mismatch phenomenon caused by different temperatures and voltages of an external circuit and a chip internal circuit can be eliminated greatly, and the accuracy of current and temperature acquisition is improved. The highest bits of the current and temperature values collected by Sigma-Delta represent signs. The 0 when measuring temperature represents positive temperature, and the direction when measuring current is from high potential to ground; the temperature 1 is a negative temperature, and the current is a high potential from the ground. The value of the Sigma-Delta ADC is output to the digital control logic unit, the digital control logic unit judges whether the temperature is over-high or not according to a preset threshold value, and meanwhile, the state is output to a ALERTN pin to inform an upper computer.
The electricity meter of the embodiment of the application is realized by using a Sigma-Delta ADC to fixedly collect current (one time of current, ten times of current and bias current) every second, and then accumulating (or integrating) the collected current to obtain the current electricity information of the battery. The digital control logic unit starts, stops and loads the value that will affect the accuracy of the power into the counter of the power meter.
The charging and discharging unit of the embodiment of the application can be used for charging and discharging the battery, but considering the situation of safety protection in practical application, the functional module is limited in that the embodiment of the application can provide a plurality of groups of digital DCDC power supply outputs with different voltages and currents for the whole system scheme of the BMS. This can greatly reduce the power module devices at the system board level and simplify the circuit design of the power module. In order to form a closed-loop control system, fig. 2 shows that the 4-way digital DCDC is provided in the embodiment of the present application, and whether the output voltage and current of the 4-way digital DCDC meet the expectations is obtained through the 4-way inputs of AIN0 to AIN3 of the first data selector. And if the output duty ratio does not meet the expectations, the output duty ratio of the digital DCDC is controlled according to the actual measured value to achieve the purpose of boosting or reducing.
The digital control logic unit is the whole core of the embodiment of the application, and the front-end analog circuit provided by the embodiment of the application comprises functions of warehouse management, power-up, first-stage detection alarm threshold setting (comprising voltage, current and temperature), balanced switch control, voltage detection channel switch control, fuel gauge, temperature and current channel distribution, second-stage detection alarm threshold setting, ALERTN alarm mode setting One-Shot and continuous mode, temperature rising rate calculation, voltage drop interval calculation and the like.
For warehouse management functions, the embodiment of the application provides a SHIP pin (thyristor for controlling the negative connection of the battery string in fig. 2), which pin is pulled down during transportation or when the battery string is not installed in the system, so that the whole battery string does not form a current path, that is, the battery string is dead to the ground and the current path, and the mechanism is mainly to confirm that the battery string ensures the safety of the battery as much as possible under the condition of not being used.
For the power-on function, the power supply of the embodiment of the application is the voltage required to drop from the highest voltage of the battery string to the inside of the chip via the internal power module. This power supply module is implemented in two ways, buck-no-inductance DCDC and Charge Pump (Charge Pump). Both of these approaches are to reduce current loss from a high voltage battery string down to a low voltage.
For the first-stage detection threshold setting, the embodiment of the application provides an analog circuit for directly comparing and outputting alarm signals, and the time from event occurrence to alarm response is ensured to be within 1us, so that the system safety is greatly improved. The simulated alarm threshold is determined by the first level detection threshold setting.
For the equalization switch control function, the equalization switch in the embodiment of the application determines which battery needs to be equalized according to the value obtained from the ADC by the digital control logic unit. The embodiment of the application provides passive equalization and active equalization. The passive equalization is that the digital control logic unit judges that one or more batteries are too high through the reading value of the ADC, and the digital control logic unit opens the corresponding equalization switch to enable the battery with too high voltage to achieve the discharging purpose. The active equalization is to provide a constant current source inside the chip, and the digital control logic unit judges that the voltage of one battery or a plurality of batteries in the battery string is lower through the reading value of the ADC, so that the digital control logic unit can open the corresponding equalization switch to charge the battery with relatively low voltage.
For the function of the voltage detection switch (C0-Cn), the voltage detection switch of the embodiment of the application can be related to the switching of the conversion channel of the SAR ADC. The embodiment of the application provides a software mode and a hardware automatic mode. The software mode is to switch the voltage detection switch and then open the corresponding ADC channel, and then read the reading value of the ADC, so as to achieve the purpose of detecting the voltage of each battery. The hardware automatic mode, namely, the software configures the number of channels required to be converted by the ADC, and then enables the SAR ADC, wherein the SAR ADC can convert values according to the ADC channels set by the digital control logic unit, the values can be stored in a register corresponding to each channel, and the voltage of a corresponding battery can be obtained only by reading the ADC value of each channel by the numerical control circuit.
For the function of the fuel gauge, the digital control logic unit of the embodiment of the application can dynamically adjust the parameters of the fuel gauge according to the measured changes of the internal resistance, the temperature and the voltage of the battery, and can start, stop and load the initial default parameters of the fuel gauge at any time. That is, the digital control logic unit may dynamically adjust the counter parameters and counts of the fuel gauge based on actual voltage, temperature, and internal resistance changes of the battery.
For the temperature and current channel distribution function, since the temperature and current detection share the Sigma-Delta ADC, the digital control logic unit provides the alarm threshold value for selecting whether the detection channel is current or temperature because the characteristics of the temperature and the current are different, so that the second-stage protection can be correspondingly adjusted.
For the second-stage detection alarm threshold setting function, the alarm detected by the second stage is judged by the conversion value of the ADC, and the digital control logic unit can set upper and lower limits on the temperature, the current and the voltage of each battery. The upper limit is that the temperature, current and voltage of the battery exceed the set upper limit and a ALERTN alarm of overflow will be generated. An underflow ALERTN alarm will be generated when the temperature, current and voltage of the battery are below the set lower limit.
For ALERTN alarm mode setting functions, the digital control logic unit implements two methods-One-Shot and continuous mode. The One-Shot mode is that the temperature, current and voltage of the battery will be valid at the position ALERTN until the corresponding status register is cleared by the digital control logic unit to deactivate ALERTN as long as a battery exceeds the upper limit or falls below the lower limit, and the state ALERTN remains valid or invalid as determined by the current battery state. When one of the conditions of over-temperature, over-pressure, over-current, low-temperature, low-pressure, under-current and the like occurs in the continuous mode, the ALERTN alarm signal in the continuous mode can be withdrawn after exceeding the lower limit of overflow and the upper limit threshold of underflow; for example, ALERTN will be set to be active when an over-temperature condition occurs, and will be active when the temperature is not below the previously preset overflow temperature lower threshold, until the temperature is below the threshold, the signal will be deactivated, as will the over-voltage and over-current determination mechanisms. If the detected temperature is lower than the preset low temperature alarm, the signal is set to be valid in a continuous mode until the temperature rises to the preset lower temperature upper limit; that is, the ALERTN alarms in continuous mode have hysteresis mechanisms to ensure that ALERTN alarms are deactivated after the over-temperature, over-pressure, over-current and low-temperature, low-pressure and under-current are below or above a preset threshold. ALERTN alarm pins are in an open-drain mode and can be better adapted to different voltages of the upper computer.
For the function of calculating the temperature rising rate, the digital control logic unit can compare the numerical value obtained by the ADC with the numerical values obtained before and after several times so as to obtain the rising or falling trend of the temperature of the battery string, and the upper computer can better judge the current use state of the battery string.
For the function of calculating the voltage drop rate and the voltage drop interval, the digital control logic unit can compare the value obtained by the ADC with the values obtained before and after several times so as to obtain the voltage drop rate and the voltage drop interval of the battery string, and therefore the upper computer can better judge the current use state of the battery string.

Line segment 401 and line segment 402 are passive equalization paths, and when the passive equalization is applied to a scene, the SWP and SWN are internally shorted to form a loop, so that the battery can achieve the effect of discharging.
