Definitions

  • Modern portable electronic devices can have very advanced charge control functions. Because of the portable nature of the devices, the operation current of such a device is mostly coming from a battery pack.
  • the battery pack in addition to the battery cells, also comprises a battery monitor.
  • State-of-the-art battery monitors such as Texas Instruments BQ26200, include Coulomb counters and flash memory. They can ⁇ be multifunctional monitoring devices, providing state-of- charge, temperature, and offset information. Some devices have multifunctional digital input/output ports, and are able to communicate the states of different registers in the RAM memory to an external device.
  • the external device is a processor unit which, for example, is in charge of charging control.
  • the processor unit operating voltages are being reduced to the voltage range of 1.5 to 2.9 Volt.
  • the battery monitor receives its operational power from the battery cells. For a widely used Lithium-ION battery, this corresponds to a voltage of 3.0 to 5.5 Volt. Thus it has turned out to be problematic to connect the battery monitor to a standard low-voltage Input/Output IO bus of a processor unit.
  • the present invention seeks to solve this problem by providing a device and a method for connecting a battery pack to a portable electronic device, by using the voltage level of the battery monitor adapted to the processor unit of the portable electronic device in a manner not prejudicial to the operation of the battery monitor.
  • the objective of the invention can be achieved by using a device or method according to independent patent claims 1 or 5, respectively.
  • a further objective of the invention is to provide a portable electronic device as defined in claim 4, wherein the battery monitor can still be used even though the battery internal voltage differs from the voltage used in the processor unit bus .
  • a further advantage of the present invention is that dissipation in the voltage adapting can be minimized.
  • Figure 1 shows a portable electronic device comprising a battery pack and a battery monitor therein;
  • Figure 2 shows a first embodiment of the device used for carrying out the invention.
  • FIG 3 shows a second, preferred, embodiment of the device used for carrying out the invention.
  • Figure 1 shows some functional blocks of a portable electronic device 10.
  • a typical example of such a portable electronic device 10 can be a portable CD or MP3 player, a mobile handset, a laptop computer, a PDA, a digital camera, or a handheld computer.
  • a rechargeable battery 12 which includes a Lithium-Ion battery cell 101. It is also possible to implement the battery cell 101 by using some other material, such as an alloy of Nickel-Cadmium.
  • the electrical circuits of the portable electronic device 10 get their operating current from the battery cell 101, usually through connectors identified in Figure 1 by + and - signs.
  • the state of the battery cell 101 is monitored by a battery monitor 102.
  • the battery monitor 102 is usually an ASIC circuit, and it gets its operating current directly from the battery cell 101 or from the leads between the battery cell 101 and the + and - connectors.
  • Texas Instruments model BQ26200 is an advanced battery monitor, and the data sheets relating thereto provide detailed information on the functions and different registers of the battery monitor.
  • One of the key functions of the battery monitor 102 is the "fuel gauge" function, i.e. the battery monitor 102 monitors the charge state of the battery cell 101 and communicates this to the processor unit 107 via the IO bus BUS.
  • a device 19 for connecting a battery pack 12 to a portable electronic device 10 is integrated into the portable electronic device 10.
  • the device 19 includes the + and - connectors for providing operating current to the portable electronic device 10, and a data connector 105 for connecting the battery monitor 102 in the battery pack 12 to the processor unit 107 in the portable electronic device 10.
  • the data connector 105 further comprises adapting means 151 for adapting the voltage level of the battery pack 12 to the voltage level of the processor unit 107 of the portable electronic device 10.
  • the communication to and from the battery monitor 102 in a battery package 12 is implemented as a bus interface.
  • a bi-directional level shifter 105 is implemented, because the general purpose I/O port BUS and the data interface of the battery monitor 102 have different voltage domains.
  • the data transfer between the processor 107 and the battery monitor 102 includes the tasks of reading from and writing to registers inside the battery monitor 102.
  • the battery monitor 102 contains memory where battery model data for the actual battery is stored. Furthermore, there are some different counters and registers for sensing the capacity of the battery cell 101 and its temperature.
  • the receive and send wires can be combined to one wire before or after level shifting in order to limit the number of pins in the battery pack 12.
  • Figure 2 shows the first embodiment of the device used for carrying out the invention.
  • a further advantage of this embodiment invention is that a two to one -wire bus interface can be made very simple and to a cost effective solution.
  • the RX and TX pins from the UART are connected to one wire with two transistors Tl and T2.
  • the output of the battery monitor 102 in the battery pack 12 is an open drain.
  • the TX port is set as high (1) having a voltage level from 1.5 to 2.9 Volt.
  • the DATA line is also pulled high (1) with the resistor R3, having a voltage level of 3.0 to 5.5 V.
  • the TX port When transmitting data from the processor unit 107 to the battery pack 12, the TX port is set low (0) or high (1) acccording to the data to be transmitted.
  • the TX port level is set to 0 V and the transistor Tl is conducting, because of the base resistor R2 and thus pulling the DATA line to low (0) .
  • the TXD port level is set to 1.5 to 2.9 Volt (1) and the transistor Tl does not conduct due to the base resistor R2, thus pulling the DATA line up to 3.0 to 5.5 Volt (1) with the resistor R3.
  • the battery monitor 102 When transmitting data from the battery pack 12 to the processor unit 102, the battery monitor 102 sets the DATA line low (0) or high (0) depending on data which is to be transmitted.
  • the DATA line level In case of a low, i.e. a zero bit, the the DATA line level is set to OV and the transistor T2 conducts due to the base resistor R2 and thu pulls the RX port to low (0) . In case of a high, i.e. a true bit, the DATA line level is set to 3.0 to 5.5 Volt (1) and the transistor T2 does not conduct beause the base resistor R2 and the RX is pulled up to 1.5 to 2.9 Volt (1) with resistor Rl.
  • Figure 3 shows the preferred embodiment of the device used for carrying out the invention.
  • a further advantage of this embodiment invention is that a two to one -wire bus interface can be made simply and in a cost effective manner.
  • the second embodiment in Figure 3 differs from the device shown in Figure 2 in that the leads from the emitter of transistor Tl and from the collector of transistor T2 are joined to enable communications to/from the bi-directional bus interface.
