Description of the Related Art Secondary batteries are used to prevent battery damage due to abnormal use such as short-circuiting of battery peripheral circuits, short-circuiting between positive and negative electrodes, and overcharging and overdischarging of equipment using the secondary batteries. Protection function is provided. These include PTC elements that prevent excessive discharge current due to short circuits, etc., and current cutoff valves that release the internal pressure by interrupting the current-carrying circuit due to an abnormal rise in battery internal pressure due to overcharging. It is a well-known function to be equipped. In addition, a lithium ion secondary battery is provided with a battery protection circuit to prevent overcharging, overdischarging, and the like, and this battery protection circuit generally has a battery protection circuit in the form of a battery pack together with the lithium ion secondary battery. The formed circuit board is housed in a pack case and integrated.

However, when a battery protection circuit is integrated with a secondary battery, it is a problem to configure the secondary battery without impairing the form of the secondary battery and suppressing an increase in external dimensions. In particular, in the case of a small flat secondary battery, in order to integrate the battery protection circuit into the battery, it is difficult to integrate the battery protection circuit while suppressing the increase in external dimensions due to a small arrangement space.

[0005] In addition, in the case of a small flat secondary battery, there is little space for providing the above-mentioned PTC element and the current cutoff valve, and when these are provided, there is a problem that the battery capacity is reduced due to a decrease in the number of power generation elements. Is provided outside the secondary battery as part of the battery protection circuit, and the function of the current cutoff valve must be delegated to the battery protection circuit. However, when the PTC element is provided as a part of the battery protection circuit, an increase in volume when the battery protection circuit is integrated with the secondary battery is unavoidable, and it is difficult to achieve the purpose of suppressing an increase in external dimensions. Further, in a normal battery protection circuit, the valve body is broken by a battery internal pressure accompanying gas generated in an overcharge region exceeding an overcharge protection voltage set in the circuit, and functions as a current cutoff valve that cuts off current. I couldn't do that.

The battery protection circuit shown in FIG. 6 is a main control circuit IC for protecting the secondary battery 1 from overcharge, overdischarge and overcurrent.
When a voltage in an overcharge, overdischarge and overcurrent state is detected, the switching element incorporated in the IC is controlled to an off state, and is turned off until a predetermined release voltage is detected by a hysteresis operation. The state is maintained, and the input / output circuit of the secondary battery 1 is shut off to prevent the secondary battery 1 from being overcharged, overdischarged, and overcurrent. Further, control is performed such that energization is enabled in the discharging direction when the input / output circuit is interrupted due to overcharging, and energization is enabled in the charging direction when the input / output circuit is interrupted due to overdischarging. In addition to the main control circuit IC22, a sub-control circuit IC21 for protecting the secondary battery 1 from overcharge is provided. The sub-control circuit IC21 normally controls the switching element incorporated in the IC to be in an on state to keep the input / output circuit in a conductive state, and when the operation of preventing overcharge is not performed due to an abnormal operation of the main control circuit IC22. ,
The progress of the overcharge state is detected, the switching element is controlled to the off state, the input / output circuit is cut off, the off state is maintained until a predetermined release voltage is detected by the hysteresis operation, and the secondary battery 1 is overcharged. To prevent damage due to the progress of the work. With this configuration, the secondary battery 1 is doubly protected from overcharge. In particular, the secondary battery 1 that is significantly damaged by overcharge can be protected by the battery protection circuit. Therefore, a current cutoff valve or a PTC (Pos) conventionally provided in the battery to protect the battery.
active Temperature Coeffic
i) can be eliminated, which is a suitable means in the case of the small and thin secondary battery 1 applied to the present embodiment. In other words, it is difficult to obtain a space for providing a current cutoff valve and a PTC in a small or thin battery, and by providing these, the volume of the positive and negative electrodes serving as power generation elements is reduced, and the battery performance is reduced due to a reduction in battery capacity. The problem of being unable to obtain is eliminated. Also, PT
If C is configured as a part of the battery protection circuit, the space occupied by the battery protection circuit increases, which hinders miniaturization. However, the battery protection circuit of this configuration can configure a battery protection circuit without PTC.
