The invention discloses an external
capacitor short circuit detection circuit for a battery protection
chip, which comprises a
grounded capacitor C0, a
comparator A0 with the positive
electrode connected with the other end of the
capacitor C0, reference
voltage VREF with the negative
electrode grounded and the positive
electrode connected with the negative electrode of the
comparator A0, a switchK2 with one end connected with the output end of the
comparator A0 and grounded, a K1 with one end connected with the switch K2 and the other end connected with an external
current source, a switch S1connected with the external
current source, a pull-up
resistor R1 with one end connected with the switch S1 and the other end connected with the
capacitor C0, a switch S0 connected with the pull-up
resistor R1 and a pull-down
resistor R0 with one end grounded and the other end connected with the switch S0. By using the above circuit, before the battery protection
chip triggers related protectiondetection, through detection on existence of the capacitor, the battery is ensured to work in an absolutely safe environment, no static
power consumption is introduced when the battery is in a normalenvironment, the whole
power consumption of the battery protection
chip is reduced, and the use value and the promotion value are thus high.
