Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a battery simulation device, and more particularly to a smart battery simulation device.曰[Prior Art] For a mobile device such as a notebook computer, since it has a p::special source, the entire mobile device is powered by the battery installed and used, so the battery power is maintained continuously. A stable power supply is very important to the operation of the entire mobile device. Take a notebook computer as an example. The battery used is a smart battery. 2 The advantage of using smart battery is that it can provide the current remaining power of the battery: ^ Through the bus between the host computer and the battery to the system in the computer to process the I (System CPU), in order to tell the computer host Electricity. In this way, the system processes the unit. / / Remaining power information ^ & early 7 ^ can be based on the remaining Beca bundle to perform power management work, and according to the battery's remaining power of the power operation to do the most efficient regulation. For example, if it comes to the computer host;:=Read=Other computer peripheral output/wheeling component unit y == After a period of time 'the system handles it == Γ system pre-set to turn off the display, hard disk or its: r: operates to save power. Or, when the battery's remaining power is in the party's degree, to reduce the power loss, and provide Xinguang: once the user's battery needs to be charged. Even when the data can be stored in the world, the electricity is severely inadequate, and the system is forced to shut down the entire system. 5 1262382 In the action device such as a notebook computer, the work of reading the power data of the smart battery is handled by the embedded control unit (Embedded c, ^ EC). The embedded control unit reads the remaining battery data of the smart battery at that time. When the notebook is in operation, the operating system periodically controls the processing unit to call the embedded control unit. After receiving the instruction of the system processing unit, the embedded control unit will read the remaining battery data of the smart battery 2 at that time, and then provide it to the processing unit. System processing After receiving the remaining power data fed by the input control unit, the system performs the power pipe burying according to the amount of remaining power of the smart battery at that time. Therefore, it is necessary to test the embedded control of the mobile device to verify whether the function of the embedded control unit of the mobile device is used to test the function of the incoming control unit after the mobile device.

The counter 28 is provided on the digital input data of the original battery characteristic analog data 22 input from the button input unit 21 and the micro processing unit 2 by the button input unit 21 in the form of a person 4-key. The display unit 24 is configured to display the binary battery characteristic simulation data input by the key input unit 21, wherein the display unit 24 can be, for example, a seven-segment display device, but is not limited thereto. The load/power switching circuit 2 3 is connected to the processing unit 2 and the embedded control unit & u ' of the device i and can be automatically switched between the discharging and charging modes. When the load/power switching circuit 23 is switched to the discharge mode (ie, the load mode), the discharge current flows from the mobile device to the load/power switching circuit 23, thereby simulating the real smart battery. The discharge mode. When the load/power switching circuit 23 is switched to the charging core type (p power supply type), a charging current provided by the external power source 4 is left by the load 7 power switching circuit 23 to the embedded control of the mobile device i. Unit 1 II simulates the charging mode of a true smart battery. - The self-measuring unit 27 can automatically measure the load/power switch 10 1262382. The circuit 23 flows to the mobile device 1 to control the actual charging current of the 'mu' and feeds the actual charging current to the micro-processing. Single & 2〇 enables the load/power switching circuit 23 to fine tune the actual charging current provided. However, in this embodiment, the charging and discharging current signal 5 required for the embedded control unit and the micro processing unit 2G can be directly provided by another method to prevent the charging and discharging currents and the charging current amount. When any one of the measuring units η cannot operate properly and cannot provide the required correct value, the other one can be responsible for providing the required value, and the micro processing unit can be improved by averaging the charging current values provided by the two methods. The correct value of the maximum drinking current value obtained by 2G. In view of the above, the smart battery simulation device 2 of the present invention can be used to change the charge and discharge current of the mobile device control unit u, and can shorten the test and debug time.
