Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A charge-discharge control circuit includes a positive power-supply terminal; a negative power-supply terminal; a charge-discharge discrimination circuit which discriminates a discharging state in which a discharging current flows and a charging state in which a charging current flows based on a voltage at a charge-discharge path and a preset charge-discharge discrimination voltage; and a control circuit which turns on a discharge control FET and a charge control FET in a charge-inhibition state and the discharging state or turns off the charge control FET in the charge-inhibition state and the charging state.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A charge-discharge control circuit, comprising: a positive power-supply terminal; a negative power-supply terminal; a charge-discharge discrimination circuit configured to discriminate a discharging state in which a discharging current flows and a charging state in which a charging current flows based on a voltage at a charge-discharge path and a preset charge-discharge discrimination voltage; and a control circuit configured to: turn on a discharge control FET and a charge control FET when in a charge-inhibition state and in the discharging state; and turn off the charge control FET when in the charge-inhibition state and in the charging state. 2. The charge-discharge control circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the charge-discharge discrimination voltage is set to a voltage at the negative power-supply terminal. 3. The charge-discharge control circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the charge-discharge discrimination voltage is set to a voltage at the positive power-supply terminal. 4. A charge-discharge control device, comprising: a discharge control FET configured to control discharging; a charge control FET configured to control charging; and the charge-discharge control circuit according to claim 1 . 5. A battery device, comprising: a battery; and the charge-discharge control device configured to control charging and discharging of the battery according to claim 4 . 6. A charge-discharge control circuit, comprising: a positive power-supply terminal; a negative power-supply terminal; a charge-discharge discrimination circuit configured to discriminate a charging state in which a charging current flows and a discharging state in which a discharging current flows based on a voltage in a charge-discharge path and a preset charge-discharge discrimination voltage; and a control circuit configured to: turn on a discharge control FET and a charge control FET when in a discharge-inhibition state and in the charging state; and turn off the discharge control FET when in the discharge-inhibition and in the discharging state. 7. The charge-discharge control circuit according to claim 6 , wherein the charge-discharge discrimination voltage is set to a voltage at the negative power-supply terminal. 8. The charge-discharge control circuit according to claim 6 , wherein the charge-discharge discrimination voltage is set to a voltage at the positive power-supply terminal. 9. A charge-discharge control device, comprising: a discharge control FET configured to control discharging; a charge control FET configured to control charging; and the charge-discharge control circuit according to claim 6 . 10. A battery device, comprising: a battery; and the charge-discharge control device configured to control charging and discharging of the battery according to claim 9 .
