[0081] Circuit 231 has circuit 221, circuit 222, and antenna 223. Circuit 231 may be used as a power supply circuit. Or circuit 231 may be used as a power transmission circuit. Note that as shown in FIG. 4(B), sensor 235 may be provided in device 200.

[0083] The circuit 222 has a function capable of amplifying and adjusting an alternating current wave, for example. The circuit 222 may be used as an amplification circuit Note that the circuit 222 does not necessarily have to be provided.

[0084] The alternating current wave is output as a radio wave via the antenna 223. Note that the antenna 223 may be used as an antenna circuit At this time, the antenna circuit has an antenna and a capacitor.

[0085] Power may be supplied to the apparatus 200 from, for example, a commercial power supply or the like.

[0086] Next, as an example of a driving method of the power storage system according to the present embodiment, an example of a driving method of the power storage system shown in FIG. 1(A) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 5. Note that the configuration of the apparatus 100 is assumed to be the configuration shown in FIG. 2(B), and the configuration of the apparatus 200 is assumed to be the configuration shown in FIG. 4(A).

[0087] In the example of the driving method of the power storage system shown in FIG. 1(A), as step S1, a confirmation signal is transmitted from the apparatus 200 to the apparatus 100 using a radio wave. For example, it is preferable to transmit the confirmation signal about once every few seconds

[0088] Next, as step S2, the apparatus 100 receives the confirmation signal.

[0089] ​​​​At this time, the circuit 119 included in the circuit 142 extracts a confirmation signal, and the confirmation signal is output to the circuit 113.

[0090] Next, as step S3, the apparatus 100 generates a response signal corresponding to the received confirmation signal and transmits it to the apparatus 200.

[0091] At this time, based on the data of the confirmation signal, the circuit 113 reads out necessary program data from the memory and causes the processor to execute to generate a response signal. The response signal also includes the data 110 for identifying the apparatus 100.

[0092] As a response method by signals between the apparatus 100 and the apparatus 200, for example, a method compliant with standards such as ISO15693, ISO14443, etc. can be used. Or, a method compliant with a standard such as NFC (Near Field Communication) can be used. Examples of the NFC standard include NFCIP-1 (ISO18092).

[0093] Note that the position of the apparatus 100 may be detected using the response signal. For example, by using the circuit 211 to determine the distance of the apparatus 100 from the response signal, the position of the apparatus 100 can be detected.

[0094] Furthermore, a radio wave including the response signal generated by the circuit 142 is transmitted to the apparatus 200.

[0095] Next, as step S4, the apparatus 200 receives the response signal and identifies the data 110 included in the received response signal.

[0096] For example, the circuit 230 extracts the response signal from the received radio wave and extracts the extracted response signal to the circuit 2 ​​​​​​​​​​Output to 11.

[0097] Circuit 211 identifies device 100 from the data 110 included in the input response signal. For example, data for identifying device 100 is stored in advance in a memory, and can be identified by comparing this data with data 110. Further, as step S5, it is determined whether charging of the power storage body 111 is necessary and possible. For the power storage body 111, determine whether charging is necessary and possible.

[0098] If it is determined that charging is unnecessary or impossible, the operation of circuit 231 is stopped. For example, using the controller of circuit 211, the supply of the power supply voltage to circuit 231 is stopped, and thus the operation of circuit 231 can be stopped.

[0099] If it is determined that charging is necessary and possible, as step S6, power transmission from device 200 to device 10 0 is started.

[0100] Note that even if it is determined that charging is necessary, the charge stored in the power storage body 111 is not zero, and it is preferable that charges necessary for the operation of device 100, such as the power for operating circuit 113, are stored in the power storage body 111.

[0101] At this time, the operation of circuit 231 is started, and by transmitting alternating current to device 100, power is supplied to device 1 00.

[0102] Note that according to the data for identifying device 100, for example, by changing the frequency or amplitude of the transmitted alternating current, the amount of power supplied to device 100 can be optimized. For example, the power supply time can be adjusted according to the capacity of the power storage body 111 of device 10 0. Further, the circuit By controlling the conversion efficiency of the amplified alternating current, the frequency of the transmitted alternating current or amplitude can be changed.

[0103] Next, as step S7, start the power reception of device 100 and start charging the power storage body 111. For example, device 100 can perform power reception using a method such as electromagnetic induction, electric field resonance, magnetic field resonance, or microwave method.

[0104] The power supplied from device 200 is adjusted by circuit 141. Further, circuit 113 turns on transistor 131, transistor 132, and transistor 150. As a result, the power storage body 111 is charged.

[0105] Next, as step S8, determine whether the voltage Vbt of the power storage body 111 has become equal to or higher than the reference voltage Vref due to charging. For example, circuit 113 can compare the voltage Vbt and the reference voltage Vref.

[0106] If it is determined that the voltage Vbt is less than the reference voltage Vref, continue charging the power storage body 111.

[0107] On the other hand, if it is determined that the voltage Vbt is equal to or higher than the reference voltage Vref, circuit 113 turns off transistor 150 and transmits an electric wave including a stop signal to device 200 via circuit 142 as step S9. Note that when it is determined that the voltage Vbt is equal to or higher than the reference voltage Vref, transistor 131 and transistor 132 may be turned off. Thereby, overcharging of the power storage body 111 can be prevented.

[0108] Note that even if the voltage Vbt is less than the reference voltage Vref, for example, if the user forcibly operates device 1 There may be a case where it is desired to end the charging of the power storage body 111 by disconnecting from 00. In that case, for example, the sensor 2 detects the position of the device 100 by 35, and when the value of the position data of the device 100 exceeds the threshold value the operation of the circuit 231 may be stopped by the circuit 211. Or, for example, while power is being supplied, if the device 200 sends a confirmation signal to the device 100 and there is no response signal from the device 100, the circuit 211 may stop the operation of the circuit 231.

[0109] Next, when the device 200 receives a radio wave having a stop signal as step S10, the circuit 21 extracts the stop signal at 3, and the circuit 213 outputs the extracted stop signal to the circuit 211.

[0110] When the stop signal is input, the circuit 211 stops the operation of the circuit 231. For example, by using the controller of the circuit 2 11 to stop the supply of the power supply voltage to the circuit 231, the operation of the circuit 231 can be stopped. In this way, by stopping the operation of the circuit 231 during the period when it is not necessary, the power consumption can be reduced.

[0111] Thereafter, if necessary, by turning on the transistor 131, the transistor 132, and the transistor 17 0, the power supply voltage V1 can be output via the terminals a and d, and power can be supplied from the power storage body 111 to the load. Or, by turning on the transistor 131, the transistor 13 2, and the transistor 170, the power supply voltage V2 can be output via the terminals b and d, and power can be supplied from the power storage body 111 to the load.

[0112] The above is the description of an example of the driving method of the power storage system.

[0113] As described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5, in an example of the power storage system according to the present embodiment, by identifying the device 100 by the device 200 using identification data, charging can be performed under the most suitable conditions for each device 100. Therefore, for example, regardless of the specifications of the device 100, charging can be performed. In the conventional power storage device, for example, the specifications are individually set for each portable terminal, and when the specifications are different, it is necessary to prepare different power supply devices. For example, if connectors for connecting power supply cables are different, other power supply devices cannot be used. Therefore, when having a plurality of portable terminals with different specifications, the user needs several power supply devices, which is inconvenient. In the present embodiment, for example, since it is not necessary to change the device 200 according to the specifications of the device 100, the versatility can be increased.

[0115] (Embodiment 2) In the present embodiment, a configuration example of the circuit 113 will be described with reference to FIG. 6.

[0116] The circuit 113 includes a processor 710, a bus bridge 711, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 712, a memory interface 713, a controller 720, an interrupt controller 721, an I / O interface (input / output interface) 722, and a power gate unit 730. an interrupt controller 721, an I / O interface (input / output interface) 722, and a power gate unit 730. an interrupt controller 721, an I / O interface (input / output interface) 722, and a power gate unit 730.

[0117] Furthermore, circuit 113 includes a crystal oscillator circuit 741, a timer circuit 745, an I / O interface 746, an I / O port 750, a comparator 751, an I / O interface 752 , bus lines 761, 762, 763, and a data bus line 76 4. Furthermore, circuit 113 has at least connection terminals 77 0 to 776 as connection parts to external devices. Each of the connection terminals 770 to 776 represents a terminal group consisting of one terminal or a plurality of terminals. An oscillator 742 having a crystal resonator 743 is connected to circuit 113 via connection terminals 772 and 773.

[0118] The processor 710 has a register 785 and is connected to bus lines 76 1 to 763 and the data bus line 764 via a bus bridge 711.

[0119] The memory 712 is a storage device that can function as the main memory of the processor 710 , and for example, a random access memory is used. The memory 712 stores instructions executed by the processor 71 0, data necessary for the execution of the instructions, and data produced by the processing of the processor 710. Data is written to and read from the memory 712 according to the instructions of the processor 710. Note that the data 110 shown in FIG. 1 may be stored in the memory 712.

[0120] In circuit 113, power supply to the memory 712 is cut off in the low power consumption mode. Therefore, the memory 712 is preferably composed of a memory that can hold data even when no power is supplied.

[0121] The memory interface 713 is an input / output interface with an external storage device. Under the instruction of the processor 710, data is written to and read from an external storage device connected to the connection terminal 776 via the memory interface 713.

[0122] The clock generation circuit 715 is a circuit that generates a clock signal MCLK (hereinafter also simply referred to as "MCLK") used by the processor 710 and has an RC oscillator or the like. MCLK is also output to the controller 720 and the interrupt controller 721.

[0123] The controller 720 is a circuit that performs control processing for the entire circuit 113. For example, it can control a bus and a memory map, perform power control of the circuit 113, and control the clock generation circuit 715 and the crystal oscillation circuit 741.

[0124] The connection terminal 770 is a terminal for inputting an external interrupt signal. An unmaskable interrupt signal NMI is input to the controller 720 via the connection terminal 770. When an unmaskable interrupt signal NMI is input to the controller 72 0, the controller 720 immediately outputs the unmaskable interrupt signal NMI to the processor 710 and causes the processor 710 to execute interrupt processing.

[0125] In addition, an interrupt signal INT is input to the interrupt controller 721 via the connection terminal 770. Interrupt signals (T0IRQ , P0IRQ, C0IRQ) from peripheral circuits are also input to the interrupt controller 721 without passing through the bus (761 to 764).

[0126] ​​​​​The interrupt controller 721 has a function of assigning priorities to interrupt requests. When the interrupt controller 721 detects an interrupt signal, it determines whether the interrupt request is valid. If it is a valid interrupt request, it outputs an interrupt signal INT to the controller 720.

[0127] Also, the interrupt controller 721 is connected to the bus line 761 and the data bus line 764 via the I / O interface 722.

[0128] When the interrupt signal INT is input, the controller 720 outputs the interrupt signal INT to the processor 710 and causes the processor 710 to execute an interrupt process.

[0129] Also, the interrupt signal T0IRQ may be directly input to the controller 720 without passing through the interrupt controller 721. When the interrupt signal T0IRQ is input, the controller 720 outputs a non-maskable interrupt signal NMI to the processor 710 and causes the processor 710 to execute an interrupt process.

[0130] Thus, for example, a sensor may be provided in the device 100 to detect a change in the voltage of the power storage body 111 or a change in the distance between the device 100 and the device 200, and an interrupt process may be executed according to the detection result.

These peripheral circuits are an example, and necessary circuits can be provided according to the electrical equipment in which circuit 113 is used.

[0133] Timer circuit 745 has a function of measuring time using a clock signal TCLK ( hereinafter also simply referred to as "TCLK") output from clock generation circuit 740. Also, clock generation circuit 715 outputs an interrupt signal T0IRQ to controller 720 and interrupt controller 721 at determined time intervals. Timer circuit 745 is connected to bus line 761 and data bus line 764 via an I / O interface 746.

[0134] TCLK is a clock signal having a frequency lower than that of MCLK. For example, if the frequency of MCLK is on the order of several MHz (e.g., 8 MHz), TCLK is on the order of several tens of kHz (e.g., 32 kHz). Clock generation circuit 740 includes a crystal oscillation circuit 741 built in circuit 113 and an oscillator 742 connected to connection terminals 772 and 773. A crystal oscillator 743 is used as the oscillator of oscillator 742. Note that by configuring clock generation circuit 740 with a CR oscillator or the like, all modules of clock generation circuit 740 can be built in circuit 113.

[0136] current) of the analog signal input from the connection terminal 775 with the potential (or current) of the reference signal, and can generate a digital signal with a value of 0 or 1. Further, when the value of this digital signal is 1, the comparator 751 can generate an interrupt signal C0IRQ. The interrupt signal C0IRQ is output to the interrupt controller 7 21. Further, the comparator 751 can compare, for example, a signal indicating the voltage Vbt of the power storage element 111 input via the connection terminal 774 with a signal indicating the reference voltage Vref and can also perform the comparison. The I / O port 750 and the comparator 751 are connected to the bus line 761 and the data bus line 764 via a common I / O interface 752. Here, there is a circuit that can be shared by the I / O interfaces of each of the I / O port 750 and the comparator 751

[0139] The circuit 113 has a power gate unit 730 for cutting off the power supply to the internal circuit. By supplying power only to the circuits necessary for operation by the power gate unit 730, the power consumption of the entire circuit 113 can be reduced. By supplying power only to the circuits necessary for operation by the power gate unit 730, the power consumption of the entire circuit 113 can be reduced. The power consumption of the entire circuit 113 can be reduced.

In this embodiment, the unit 701 includes the timer circuit 745 and the I / O interface 746, the unit 702 includes the I / O port 750, the comparator 751, and the I / O interface 752, the unit 703 includes the interrupt controller 721 and the I / O interface 722, and the unit 704 includes the processor 710, the memory 712, the bus bridge 711, and the memory interface 713. The unit 702 includes the I / O port 750, the comparator 751, and the I / O interface 752, the unit 703 includes the interrupt controller 721 and the I / O interface 722, and the unit 704 includes the processor 710, the memory 712, the bus bridge 711, and the memory interface 713. The unit 703 includes the interrupt controller 721 and the I / O interface 722, and the unit 704 includes the processor 710, the memory 712, the bus bridge 711, and the memory interface 713. The unit 704 includes the processor 710, the memory 712, the bus bridge 711, and the memory interface 713.

[0142] The power gate unit 730 is controlled by the controller 720. The power gate uni t 730 has switches 731 and 732 for cutting off the supply of the power voltage to units 701 to 704. As the power voltage at this time, for example, the voltage of the power storage body 11 1 or the like can be used.

[0143] The on / off states of switches 731 and 732 are controlled by the controller 720. Specifically, the controller 720 outputs a signal for turning off some or all of the switches of the power gate unit 7 30 according to the request of the processor 710 (stopping the power supply). Further, the controller 720 outputs a signal for turning on the switches of the power gate unit 7 30 by triggering a non-maskable interrupt signal NMI or an interrupt signal T0IRQ from the timer circuit 745 (starting the power supply).

[0144] In FIG. 6, the power gate unit 730 is shown to be configured with two switches (switches 731 and s witches 732), but the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of switches necessary for power cut-off may be provided.

[0145] Also, in the present embodiment, the switch 731 is provided so that the power supply to the unit 701 can be independently controlled, and the switch 732 is provided so that the power supply to the units 702 to 704 can be independently controlled. However, the present invention is not limited to such a power supply path. For example, a switch different from the switch 732 may be provided so that the power supply to the memory 712 can be independently controlled. Also, a plurality of switches may be provided for one circuit.

[0146] Also, the controller 720 is constantly supplied with the power voltage from the connection terminal 771 without going through the power gate unit 730. Also, in order to reduce the influence of noise, the oscillation circuit of the clock generation circuit 715 and the crystal oscillation circuit 741 are each supplied with a power potential from an external power supply circuit different from the power supply circuit of the power voltage.

[0147] By providing the controller 720, the power gate unit 730, etc., the circuit 11 3 can be operated in three types of operation modes. The first operation mode is the normal operation mode, in which all circuits of the circuit 113 are in an active state. Here, the first operation mode is called the "Active mode".

[0148] In the first operation mode, for example, generation of a response signal based on a confirmation signal from the device 200 shown in the first embodiment is performed.

[0149] The second and third operation modes are low power consumption modes, in which some circuits are made active. In the second operation mode, the controller 720, the timer circuit 745 and its related circuits (crystal oscillation circuit 741, I / O interface 746) are active. In the third operation mode, only the controller 720 is active. Here, the second operation mode is called the "Noff1 mode", and the third operation mode is called the "Noff2 mode". In the Noff1 mode, the controller 720 and a part of the peripheral circuits ( circuits necessary for timer operation) operate, and in the Noff2 mode, only the controller 720 is operating.

[0150] Note that the oscillator of the clock generation circuit 715 and the crystal oscillator circuit 741 are not related to the operation mode, and power is always supplied. To deactivate the clock generation circuit 715 and the crystal oscillator circuit 741, an enable signal is input from the controller 720 or externally, and the oscillation of the clock generation circuit 715 and the crystal oscillator circuit 741 is stopped. Also, in the Noff1 and Noff2 modes, since the power supply is cut off by the power gate unit 730, the I / O port 750 and the I / O interface 752 become non-Active. However, in order to operate the external device connected to the connection terminal 774 normally, power is supplied to a part of the I / O port 750 and the I / O interface 752. Specifically, it is the output buffer of the I / O port 750 and the register 783 for the I / O port 750. In the Noff1 and Noff2 modes, the data transmission function between the I / O interface 752 and the external device and the interrupt signal generation function, which are the substantial functions of the I / O port 750, are stopped. Also, similarly for the I / O interface 752, the communication function is stopped.

[0151] In addition, in the Noff1 and Noff2 modes, since the power supply is cut off by the power gate unit 730, the I / O port 750 and the I / O interface 752 become non-Active. However, in order to operate the external device connected to the connection terminal 774 normally, power is supplied to a part of the I / O port 750 and the I / O interface 752. Specifically, it is the output buffer of the I / O port 750 and the register 783 for the I / O port 750. In the Noff1 and Noff2 modes, the data transmission function between the I / O interface 752 and the external device and the interrupt signal generation function, which are the substantial functions of the I / O port 750, are stopped. Also, similarly for the I / O interface 752, the communication function is stopped. Note that in this specification, a circuit being non-active includes not only the state where the power supply is cut off and the circuit has stopped, but also the state where the main functions in the Active mode (normal operation mode) have stopped, or the state where the circuit is operating with lower power consumption than the Active mode. With the above configuration, for example, when the user forcibly terminates the charging operation of the device 100, the switch of the power gate unit 730 is controlled according to the request of the processor 710. Note that in this specification, a circuit being non-active includes not only the state where the power supply is cut off and the circuit has stopped, but also the state where the main functions in the Active mode (normal operation mode) have stopped, or the state where the circuit is operating with lower power consumption than the Active mode. With the above configuration, for example, when the user forcibly terminates the charging operation of the device 100, the switch of the power gate unit 730 is controlled according to the request of the processor 710. Note that in this specification, a circuit being non-active includes not only the state where the power supply is cut off and the circuit has stopped, but also the state where the main functions in the Active mode (normal operation mode) have stopped, or the state where the circuit is operating with lower power consumption than the Active mode.

[0152] Note that in this specification, a circuit being non-active includes not only the state where the power supply is cut off and the circuit has stopped, but also the state where the main functions in the Active mode (normal operation mode) have stopped, or the state where the circuit is operating with lower power consumption than the Active mode. With the above configuration, for example, when the user forcibly terminates the charging operation of the device 100, the switch of the power gate unit 730 is controlled according to the request of the processor 710. Note that in this specification, a circuit being non-active includes not only the state where the power supply is cut off and the circuit has stopped, but also the state where the main functions in the Active mode (normal operation mode) have stopped, or the state where the circuit is operating with lower power consumption than the Active mode.

[0153] With the above configuration, for example, when the user forcibly terminates the charging operation of the device 100, the switch of the power gate unit 730 is controlled according to the request of the processor 710. Note that in this specification, a circuit being non-active includes not only the state where the power supply is cut off and the circuit has stopped, but also the state where the main functions in the Active mode (normal operation mode) have stopped, or the state where the circuit is operating with lower power consumption than the Active mode. ​​​Outputs a signal to turn off some or all of it, and switches to the Noff1 and Noff2 modes, and can also stop supplying power to unnecessary circuit blocks. It can also stop supplying power to unnecessary circuit blocks.

[0154] Furthermore, a configuration example of a register applicable to each circuit block will be described with reference to FIG. 7. 。

[0155] The register shown in FIG. 7(A) includes a memory circuit 651, a memory circuit 652, and a selector 653. , and has.

[0156] A reset signal RST, a clock signal CLK, and a data signal D are input to the memory circuit 651. The memory circuit 651 has a function of holding the data of the data signal D input according to the clock signal CLK and outputting it as a data signal Q. As the memory circuit 651, for example, a register such as a buffer register or a general-purpose register can be configured. Or, As the memory circuit 651, a cache memory composed of, for example, SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) can also be provided. These registers and cache memories can store data in the memory circuit 652. For example, a register such as a buffer register or a general-purpose register can be configured. Or, As the memory circuit 651, a cache memory composed of SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) can also be provided. These registers and cache memories can store data in the memory circuit 652. These registers and cache memories can store data in the memory circuit 652.

[0157] A write control signal WE, a read control signal RD, and a data signal are input to the memory circuit 652. The write control signal WE, the read control signal RD, etc. may be input via, for example, terminal c. The write control signal WE, the read control signal RD, etc. may be input via, for example, terminal c.

[0158] The memory circuit 652 has a function of storing the data of the input data signal according to the write control signal WE and outputting the stored data as a data signal according to the read control signal RD. The memory circuit 652 has a function of storing the data of the input data signal according to the write control signal WE and outputting the stored data as a data signal according to the read control signal RD. function.

[0159] Selector 653 selects the data signal D or the data signal output from the memory circuit 652 according to the read control signal RD and inputs it to the memory circuit 651.

[0160] The memory circuit 652 is provided with a transistor 631 and a capacitor element 632.

[0161] The transistor 631 is an n-channel transistor and has a function as a selection transistor. One of the source and drain of the transistor 631 is connected to the output terminal of the memory circuit 651. Further, the back gate of the transistor 631 is supplied with a power supply potential. The transistor 631 has a function of controlling the holding of the data signal output from the memory circuit 651 according to the write control signal WE.

[0162] As the transistor 631, for example, a transistor with a low off-current may be applied. As the transistor with a low off-current, for example, a transistor having a channel formation region containing an oxide semiconductor having a wider bandgap than silicon and the channel formation region being substantially i-type can be applied.

[0163] For example, by removing impurities such as hydrogen or water as much as possible and supplying oxygen to reduce oxygen vacancies as much as possible, the transistor including the above oxide semiconductor can be manufactured. At this time, in the channel formation region, the amount of hydrogen, which is called a donor impurity in the measurement value of secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), is reduced to 1×10 19 / cm 3 or less, preferably 1×10 18 / cm 3 or less. is preferred. The off-current of the transistor 631 is 1×1 per 1 μm channel width at 25°C 0 -19 A (100 zA) or less. More preferably 1×10 -22 A (100 yA) or less. The lower the off-current of the transistor, the better, but the lower limit of the off-current of the transistor is estimated to be about 1×10 A / μm. -30

[0164] As the above-mentioned oxide semiconductor, for example, In-based metal oxide, Zn-based metal oxide, In-Zn-based metal oxide, or In-Ga-Zn-based metal oxide can be applied.

[0165] One of the pair of electrodes of the capacitor element 632 is connected to the other of the source and drain of the transistor 631, and the power supply potential VSS is supplied to the other. The capacitor element 632 has a function of holding charges based on the data of the data to be stored. Since the off-current of the transistor 631 is extremely low, the charges of the capacitor element 632 are held even when the supply of the power supply voltage is stopped, and the data is held.

[0166] The transistor 633 is a p-channel transistor. The power supply potential VDD is supplied to one of the source and drain of the transistor 633, and the read control signal RD is input to the gate.

[0167] The transistor 634 is an n-channel transistor. One of the source and drain of the transistor 634 is connected to the other of the source and drain of the transistor 633, and the read control signal RD is input to the gate.

[0168] ​​​​​​Transistor 635 is an n-channel transistor. One of the source and drain of transistor 635 is connected to the other of the source and drain of transistor 634, and the other of the source and drain is supplied with the power supply potential VSS.

[0169] The input terminal of inverter 636 is connected to the other of the source and drain of transistor 633. Also, the output terminal of inverter 636 is connected to the input terminal of selector 653.

[0170] One of the pair of electrodes of capacitor element 637 is connected to the input terminal of inverter 636, and the other is supplied with the power supply potential VSS. Capacitor element 637 has a function of holding electric charges based on the data of the data signal input to inverter 636.

[0171] Note that the present invention is not limited to the above. For example, a phase change memory (also referred to as PRAM (Phase-change RAM) or PCM (Phase Change Memory)), a resistance change type memory (also referred to as ReRAM (Resistance RAM)), a magnetoresistive memory (also referred to as MRAM (Magnetoresistive RAM)), etc. may be used to configure the storage circuit 652. For example, as the MRAM, an MRAM using a magnetic tunnel junction element (also referred to as an MT J (Magnetic Tunnel Junction) element) can be applied.

[0172] Next, an example of a method for driving a register shown in Fig. 7(A) will be described.

[0173] First, during the normal operation period, the power supply voltage that becomes power, the reset signal RST, the clock signal ​​​​CLK is in the state supplied to the register. At this time, the selector 653 outputs the data of the data signal D to the storage circuit 651. The storage circuit 651 holds the data of the input data signal D according to the clock signal CLK . At this time, the transistor 633 is turned on by the read control signal RD, and the transistor 634 is turned off.

[0174] Next, in the backup period immediately before stopping the power supply voltage, according to the pulse of the write control signal WE, the transistor 631 is turned on, and the data of the data signal D is stored in the storage circuit 652, and the transistor 631 is turned off. Then, the supply of the clock signal CLK to the register is stopped, and further, the supply of the reset signal RST to the register is stopped. When the transistor 631 is in the on state, a positive power supply potential may be supplied to the back gate of the transistor 631. At this time, the transistor 633 is turned on by the read control signal RD, and the transistor 634 is turned off.

[0175] Next, in the power supply stop period, the supply of the power supply voltage to the register is stopped. At this time, since the off-current of the transistor 631 of the storage circuit 652 is low, the stored data is retained. Note that by supplying the ground potential GND instead of the power supply potential VDD, it can be regarded as stopping the supply of the power supply voltage. For example, the ground potential is supplied via the terminal d shown in FIG. 2(A). When the transistor 631 is in the off state, a negative power supply potential may be supplied to the back gate of the transistor 631 to maintain the off state of the transistor 631.

[0176] ​​​​​​​​​​​​​Next, in the recovery period immediately before returning to the normal operation period, the power supply voltage to the register is resumed, then the supply of the clock signal CLK is resumed, and then the supply of the reset signal RST is resumed. At this time, the wiring to which the clock signal CLK is supplied is set to the power supply voltage VDD, and then the supply of the clock signal CLK is resumed. Further, according to the pulse of the read control signal RD, the transistor 633 is turned off, the transistor 63 4 is turned on, and the data signal of the value stored in the memory circuit 652 is output to the selector 653. The selector 653 outputs the above data signal to the memory circuit 651 according to the pulse of the read control signal RD. Thereby, the memory circuit 651 can be restored to the state immediately before the power-off period.

[0177] Thereafter, in the normal operation period, the normal operation of the memory circuit 651 is performed again.

[0178] The above is an example of the driving method of the register shown in FIG. 7(A).

[0179] Note that the register is not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. 7(A).

[0180] For example, the register shown in FIG. 7(B) has no transistors 633, 634, inverter 636, and capacitive element 637 compared to the configuration of the register shown in FIG. 7(A), and has a selector 654. For the same parts as those of the register shown in FIG. 7(A), the description of the register shown in FIG. 7 (A) is appropriately incorporated. (A) is appropriately incorporated.

[0181] At this time, one of the source and drain of the transistor 635 is connected to the input terminal element of the selector 653.

[0182] ​Further, selector 654 selects the power supply potential VS that becomes data or the data signal output from the memory circuit 651 according to the write control signal WE2 and inputs it to the memory circuit 652. .

[0183] Next, an example of a register driving method shown in FIG. 7(B) will be described.

[0184] First, during the normal operation period, the power supply voltage, the reset signal RST, and the clock signal CLK are supplied to the register. At this time, selector 653 outputs the data of the data signal D to the memory circuit 651. The memory circuit 651 holds the data of the input data signal D according to the clock signal CLK. Further, according to the write control signal WE2, selector 654 outputs the power supply potential VSS to the memory circuit 652. In the memory circuit 652, transistor 631 is turned on according to the pulse of the write control signal WE, and the power supply potential VSS is stored as data in the memory circuit 652.

[0185] Next, during the backup period immediately before stopping the power supply voltage, according to the write control signal WE2, selector 654 causes one of the output terminal of the memory circuit 651 and the source and drain of transistor 631 to be in a conductive state instead of supplying the power supply potential VSS. Further, transistor 631 is turned on according to the pulse of the write control signal WE, and the data of the data signal D is stored in the memory circuit 652, and transistor 631 is turned off. At this time, the data in the memory circuit 652 is rewritten only when the potential of the data signal D is the same value as the power supply potential VDD. Further, the supply of the clock signal CLK to the register is stopped, and the supply of the reset signal RST to the register is stopped. Note that when transistor 631 is in the on state ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ A positive power supply potential may be supplied to the back gate of the transistor 631 .

[0186] Next, during the power supply stop period, the supply of the power supply voltage to the register is stopped. In the memory circuit 652, the off-state current of the transistor 631 is low, so that the data value is maintained. By supplying the ground potential GND instead of the power supply potential VDD, It can also be considered that the voltage supply is stopped. When the transistor 631 is in an off state, a negative power supply potential is supplied to the back gate of the transistor 631. The transistor may be kept in an off state by using a resistor.

[0187] Next, during the recovery period just before returning to the normal operation period, Then, the supply of the clock signal CLK is resumed, and then the supply of the reset signal CLK is resumed. The supply of RST is resumed. At this time, the wiring through which the clock signal CLK is supplied is set to the power supply potential. The selector 653 is set to VDD and then the supply of the clock signal CLK is resumed. A value according to the data stored in the memory circuit 652 is read in response to a pulse of the read control signal RD. The data signal is output to the memory circuit 651. This causes the state immediately before the power supply interruption period to be stored. The circuit 651 can be restored.

[0188] After that, during the normal operation period, the memory circuit 651 performs normal operation again.

[0189] The above is an example of the method for driving the register shown in FIG.

[0190] By using the configuration shown in FIG. 7B, the power supply potential VSS during the backup period Since it is possible to eliminate the writing of data, the operation can be speeded up.

[0191] When the above register is used as registers 784 to 787, when shifting from the Active mode to the Nof f1, Noff2 modes, prior to power-off, the data in the storage circuits 651 of registers 784 to 78 7 is written into the storage circuit 652, and the data in the storage circuit 651 is reset to the initial value, and the power is turned off.

[0192] Also, when returning from the Noff1 or Noff2 mode to Active, when the power supply to registers 7 84 to 787 is resumed, first, the data in the storage circuit 651 is reset to the initial value. Then, the data in the storage circuit 652 is written into the storage circuit 651.

[0193] Therefore, even in the low power consumption mode, the data necessary for the processing of circuit 113 is held in registers 784 to 787, so that circuit 113 can be immediately returned from the low power consumption mode to the Active mode. Therefore, the power consumption of apparatus 100 can be reduced. It can be done.

Also, the gate of the transistor 412 (M, N) is connected to the other of the source and drain of the transistor 411 (M, N).

[0203] The transistor 412 (M, N) is an output transistor that sets the potential of the data to be output. It has the following functions.

The other of the pair of electrodes of the capacitance element 413(M,N) is connected to the other of the source and drain of the transistor 411(M,N), and the other is connected to the wiring CL_M.

Here, as an example, the case where data is sequentially written into the memory cells 400 in the M-th row and then the written data is read out will be described, but it is not limited thereto.

[0208] First, when writing data into the memory cells 400 in the M-th row, the potential of the wiring WL_M is set to VH and the potentials of all other wirings WL_other are set to VL.

[0209] Note that VH is a potential (e.g., power supply potential VDD) greater than the reference potential (e.g., power supply potential VSS), and VL is a potential equal to or lower than the reference potential. and VL is a potential equal to or lower than the reference potential.

[0210] At this time, in each of the memory cells 400 in the M-th row, the transistor 411 is turned on and the potential of one of the pair of electrodes of the capacitance element 413 becomes equal to the potential of each wiring BL. becomes equal to the potential of each wiring BL.

[0211] Thereafter, the transistor 411 is turned off, the gate of the transistor 412 becomes floating and the potential of the gate of the transistor 412 is held.

[0212] By performing the above operation every time, data can be written to all memory cells 400. It is possible.

[0213] Also, when reading data from the memory cells 400 in the M-th row, the potential of all the wiring WLs is set to VL, the wiring CL_M is set to VL, and the potential of all the other wiring CL_others is set to VH. to do. to do.

[0214] Note that in the memory cell 400 in the M-th row, the resistance value between the source and the drain of the transistor 412 is determined according to the voltage of the gate of the transistor 412. Also, a potential of a value corresponding to the current flowing between the source and the drain of the transistor 412 can be read as data from the memory cell 400. of the transistor 412 is determined according to the voltage of the gate of the transistor 412. Also, a potential of a value corresponding to the current flowing between the source and the drain of the transistor 412 can be read as data from the memory cell 400. 12 can be read as data from the memory cell 400. 00.

[0215] Furthermore, by repeating the above operation every time, data can be read from all the memory cells 400. The above is the description of an example of the driving method of the memory. This is the end of the description of the example of the driving method of the memory.

[0270] The negative electrode 931 is manufactured as follows. First, the electrode material is mixed in a solvent such as NMP (N - methylpyrrolidone) in which a vinylidene fluoride - based polymer such as polyvinylidene fluoride is dissolved to form a slurry.

[0271] Next, the slurry is applied to one or both sides of the negative electrode current collector 961 and dried. The application When the process is carried out on both sides of the negative electrode current collector 961, the negative electrode active material layer 962 is formed on both sides simultaneously or one side at a time. After that, rolling is performed using a roll press, and the negative electrode 931 is manufactured .

[0272] Next, an example in which graphene is used as a conductive assistant added to the negative electrode active material layer 962 will be described with reference to FIGS. 15(C) and 15(D).

[0273] Here, in this specification, graphene includes single-layer graphene or multi-layer graphene of 2 layers or more and 100 layers or less. Single-layer graphene refers to a sheet of a one-atom layer of carbon molecules having π bonds. Also, graphene oxide refers to a compound in which the above-mentioned graphene is oxidized. When graphene is formed by reducing graphene oxide, not all of the oxygen contained in graphene oxide is desorbed, and some oxygen remains in the graphene. When oxygen is contained in the graphene, the proportion of oxygen is 2 atomic% or more and 20 atomic% or less, preferably 3 atomic% or more and 15 atomic% or less of the entire graphene when measured by XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy).

[0274] FIG. 15(C) is a plan view of a part of the negative electrode active material layer 962 using graphene. The negative electrode active material layer 962 is composed of granular negative electrode active material 973 and graphene 975 that covers a plurality of granular negative electrode active materials 973 and in which the granular negative electrode active materials 973 are packed inside. Regarding the binder not shown, it may be added, but when the graphene 975 is contained to such an extent that it functions sufficiently as a binder by adhering to each other, it is not always necessary to add a binder. ​​​​​​​​​​​It is not necessary to add an underlayer. The negative electrode active material layer 962 in plan view is composed of a plurality of negative electrode active materials 973 whose surfaces are covered with different graphene 975. In some parts, granular negative electrode active material 9 73 may be exposed.

[0275] Figure 15(D) is a cross-sectional view of a part of the negative electrode active material layer 962 in Figure 15(C). Granular negative electrode active material 973 and graphene 975 covering the granular negative electrode active material 973 in plan view of the negative electrode active material layer 962 are shown. In the cross-sectional view, graphene 975 is observed linearly. The same graphene or a plurality of graphenes overlap a plurality of granular negative electrode active materials 9 73, or a plurality of granular negative electrode active materials 973 are included in the same graphene or a plurality of graphenes. Note that graphene 975 is in a bag shape, and inside it there may be a plurality of granular negative electrode active materials included. Also, graphene 975 has a partially open portion, and in this region, granular negative electrode active material 973 may be exposed. In addition, as the thickness of the negative electrode active material layer 962, it is preferable to select a desired thickness between 20 μm and 150 μm.

[0276] In addition, the negative electrode active material layer 962 may be pre-doped with lithium. As a method of pre-doping lithium, a lithium layer may be formed on the surface of the negative electrode active material layer 962 by sputtering. Or, by providing a lithium foil on the surface of the negative electrode active material layer 96

[0277] 2, the negative electrode active material layer 96 2 can be pre-doped with lithium. In addition, in the granular negative electrode active material 973, the volume expands due to the occlusion of carrier ions.

[0278] There is something. Therefore, due to charge and discharge, the negative electrode active material layer becomes brittle, and a part of the negative electrode active material layer collapses, resulting in a decrease in the reliability of the power storage device such as cycle characteristics.

[0279] However, even if the volume of the negative electrode active material increases or decreases due to charge and discharge, when the graphene 975 covers the periphery of the granular negative electrode active material 973, the graphene 975 can prevent the dispersion of the negative electrode active material and the collapse of the negative electrode active material layer. That is, the graphene 975 has a function of maintaining the bonding between the negative electrode active materials even when the volume of the negative electrode active material increases or decreases with charge and discharge. In other words, when forming the negative electrode active material layer 962, it is not necessary to use a binder, and in the negative electrode active material layer 962 of a certain weight (certain volume), it is possible to increase the amount of the negative electrode active material. Therefore, the charge and discharge capacity per electrode weight (electrode volume) can be increased. Consequently, the charge and discharge capacity per electrode weight (electrode volume) can be increased. Therefore, the charge and discharge capacity per electrode weight (electrode volume) can be increased.

[0280] In addition, the graphene 975 has conductivity and also functions as a conductive aid because it is in contact with a plurality of granular negative electrode active materials 973. That is, when forming the negative electrode active material layer 962, it is not necessary to use a conductive aid, and in the negative electrode active material layer 962 of a certain weight (certain volume), it is possible to increase the amount of the negative electrode active material. Therefore, the charge and discharge capacity per electrode weight (electrode volume) can be increased. Therefore, the charge and discharge capacity per electrode weight (electrode volume) can be increased.

[0281] In addition, the graphene 975 can improve the conductivity of the negative electrode 931 because it efficiently and sufficiently forms an electron conduction path in the negative electrode active material layer 962.

[0282] Note that the graphene 975 also functions as a negative electrode active material capable of intercalating and deintercalating carrier ions, so the charging capacity of the negative electrode 931 can be improved. Therefore, the charging capacity of the negative electrode 931 can be improved. ​

[0283] Note that the above graphene may be used as a positive electrode active material.

[0284] Next, a method for manufacturing the negative electrode active material layer 962 shown in FIGS. 15(C) and 15(D) will be described. as follows.

[0285] First, knead using an electrode material and a dispersion liquid containing graphene oxide to form a slurry.

[0286] Next, apply the above slurry onto the negative electrode current collector 961. Next, perform vacuum drying for a certain period of time to remove the solvent from the slurry coated on the negative electrode current collector 961. After that, perform rolling processing using a roll press machine.

[0287] Thereafter, graphene 975 is generated by electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide using electrical energy or thermal reduction of graphene oxide by heat treatment. In particular, when performing electrochemical reduction treatment, compared with the graphene formed by heat treatment, the ratio of carbon atoms having π bonds increases, so that highly conductive graphene 975 can be formed. By the above steps, a negative electrode active material layer 962 using graphene as a conductive assistant can be formed on one or both sides of the negative electrode current collector 961, and the negative electrode 931 can be manufactured.

[0288] Next, the positive electrode 932 will be described with reference to FIG. 16.

[0293] Alternatively, lithium-containing composite phosphates (general formula LiMPO 4 (M is one or more of Fe(II), Mn(I I), Co(II), Ni(II))) can be used. Representative examples of the general formula LiMP O 4 include LiFePO 4 , LiNiPO 4 , LiCoPO 4 , LiMnP O 4 、LiFe a Ni b PO 4 、LiFe a Co b PO 4 、LiFe a Mn b PO 4 、L iNi a Co b PO 4 、LiNi a Mn b PO 4 (a + b is less than or equal to 1, 0 < a < 1, 0 < b <1), LiFe c Ni d Co e PO 4 、LiFe c Ni d Mn e PO 4 、LiNi c C o d Mn e PO 4 (c + d + e is less than or equal to 1, 0 < c < 1, 0 < d < 1, 0 < e < 1), Li Fe f Ni g Co h Mn i PO 4 (f + g + h + i is less than or equal to 1, 0 < f < 1, 0 < g < 1, 0 < h < 1, 0 < i < 1), etc., lithium compounds can be used as the active material.

[0294] Or, a lithium - containing complex silicate such as the general formula Li (2-j) MSiO 4 (M is one or more of Fe(II), Mn(II), Co(I I), Ni(II), 0 ≦ j ≦ 2), etc., can be used. For the general formula Li (2-j) MSiO 4 Typical examples include Li (2-j) FeSi O 4 、Li (2-j) NiSiO4 , Li (2-j) CoSiO 4 , Li (2-j) Mn SiO 4 , Li (2-j) Fe k Ni l SiO 4 , Li (2-j) Fe k Co l SiO 4 , Li (2-j) Fe k Mn l SiO 4 , Li (2-j) Ni k Co l SiO 4 , Li ( 2-j) Ni k Mn l SiO 4 (k + l is 1 or less, 0 < k < 1, 0 < l < 1), Li (2 -j) Fe m Ni n Co q SiO 4 , Li (2-j) Fe m Ni n Mn q SiO 4 , Li (2-j) Ni m Co n Mn q SiO 4 (m + n + q is 1 or less, 0 < m < 1, 0 < n < 1 , 0 < q < 1), Li (2-j) Fe r Ni s Co t Mn u SiO 4 (r + s + t + u is 1 or less, 0 < r < 1, 0 < s < 1, 0 < t < 1, 0 < u < 1) etc. can be used as materials .

[0295] In addition, when the carrier ions are alkali metal ions other than lithium ions or alkaline earth metal ions, as the positive electrode active material layer 982, in the above lithium compound, lithium-containing composite phosphate, and lithium-containing composite silicate, instead of lithium, an alkali metal (for example, sodium, potassium, etc.) or an alkaline earth metal (for example, calcium, strontium, barium, beryllium, magnesium, etc.) may be used.

Also, the positive electrode active material layer 982 is not limited to being formed directly in contact with the positive electrode current collector 981.

[0298] The particle size of the positive electrode active material 983 is preferably 20 nm or more and 100 nm or less.

[0299] ​Even if the surface of the positive electrode active material 983 is not coated with a graphite layer, sufficient characteristics can be obtained. However, it is more preferable to use both the positive electrode active material coated with the graphite layer and graphene because current flows.

It is preferable to appropriately adjust the thickness of the positive electrode active material layer 982 so that cracks and peeling do not occur.

[0301] The thickness of the positive electrode active material layer 982 is selected to be a desired thickness between 20 μm and 100 μm. It is preferable to appropriately adjust the thickness of the positive electrode active material layer 982 so that cracks and peeling do not occur.

It is preferable to appropriately adjust the thickness of the positive electrode active material layer 982 so that cracks and peeling do not occur.

[0302] The positive electrode active material layer 982 may have a known conductive aid such as acetylene black particles that are 0.1 times or more and 10 times or less the volume of graphene or carbon nanofibers having a one-dimensional spread. The positive electrode active material layer 982 may have a known conductive aid such as acetylene black particles that are 0.1 times or more and 10 times or less the volume of graphene or carbon nanofibers having a one-dimensional spread. The positive electrode active material layer 982 may have a known conductive aid such as acetylene black particles that are 0.1 times or more and 10 times or less the volume of graphene or carbon nanofibers having a one-dimensional spread.

[0303] Depending on the material of the positive electrode active material, there are some that expand in volume due to the occlusion of ions serving as carriers. For this reason, due to charge and discharge, the positive electrode active material layer becomes brittle, and a part of the positive electrode active material layer collapses, resulting in a decrease in the reliability of the power storage device. However, when the positive electrode active material is charged Depending on the material of the positive electrode active material, there are some that expand in volume due to the occlusion of ions serving as carriers.

However, when the positive electrode active material is charged Even if the volume increases or decreases due to discharge, the graphene covers the surrounding area, so the graphene acts as a positive electrode active material. In other words, graphene can prevent the dispersion of the electrolyte and the collapse of the positive electrode active material layer. Even if the volume of the positive electrode active material increases or decreases due to the change in the volume of the positive electrode active material, the positive electrode active material has a function of maintaining the bond between the positive electrode active materials. This makes it possible to improve the reliability of the electricity storage unit.

[0304] In addition, graphene 984 is in contact with multiple positive electrode active materials and also functions as a conductive additive. In addition, it has a function of retaining a positive electrode active material capable of absorbing and releasing carrier ions. Therefore, there is no need to mix a binder into the positive electrode active material layer, and the amount of positive electrode active material per positive electrode active material layer is It is possible to increase the discharge capacity of the electricity storage device.

[0305] Next, a method for producing the positive electrode active material layer 982 will be described.

[0306] First, a slurry containing particulate positive electrode active material and graphene oxide is formed. After the slurry is applied onto the dielectric body 981, a reduction process is performed by heating in a reducing atmosphere. The positive electrode active material is baked, and oxygen contained in the graphene oxide is removed, resulting in the graphene Note that not all of the oxygen contained in graphene oxide is released, and some of the oxygen remains in the graphene. The graphene oxide remains in the graphene. Hereinafter, this will be referred to as thermal reduction. Reduction by chemical reaction using a reducing agent such as hydrazine is not limited to this. (Hereinafter referred to as chemical reduction.) A potential is applied to the electrode in the electrolyte so that graphene oxide is reduced. Reduction methods other than thermal reduction, such as electrochemical reduction using a Through the above steps, a positive electrode active material layer 982 is formed on a positive electrode current collector 981. This can be achieved. As a result, the conductivity of the positive electrode active material layer 982 is increased.

[0307] Since graphene oxide contains oxygen, it is negatively charged in a polar solvent. As a result, graphene oxide disperses in the polar solvent. Therefore, the positive electrode active material contained in the slurry is less likely to aggregate, and an increase in the particle size of the positive electrode active material due to aggregation can be reduced. For this reason, the movement of electrons in the positive electrode active material becomes easier, and the conductivity of the positive electrode active material layer can be increased.

[0308] In addition, a carbon layer or the like may be formed on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles.

[0309] As the separator 933, cellulose (paper), or an insulator such as polypropylene or polyethylene provided with pores can be used.

[0310] In addition, the negative electrode 931, the positive electrode 932, and the separator 933 are impregnated with an electrolytic solution. As the electrolyte contained in the electrolytic solution, a material containing carrier ions is used. When lithium is used as the carrier ion, lithium salts such as LiClO , LiAsF 4 , LiBF 6 , LiPF 4 , Li 6 (C ( 2 F 5 SO 2 ) 2 N can be used.

[0311] In addition, when the carrier ion is an alkali metal ion other than lithium ion or an alkaline earth metal ion, as the electrolyte, in the above lithium salt, instead of lithium, an alkali metal (for example, sodium, potassium, etc.), an alkaline earth metal (for example, calcium, etc.) is used. ​​Strontium, barium, beryllium, magnesium, etc.) may also be used.

[0312] As the solvent for the electrolyte, a material capable of transporting carrier ions is used. The solvent is preferably an aprotic organic solvent. Representative examples of the aprotic organic solvent include , Ethylene carbonate (EC), Propylene carbonate, Dimethyl carbonate, Di Ethyl carbonate (DEC), γ-butyrolactone, acetonitrile, dimethoxyethane tetrahydrofuran, and the like, and one or more of these can be used.

[0313] In addition, by using a polymer material that gels as a solvent for the electrolyte, safety against leakage, etc. is improved. The safety of the lithium-ion battery is improved. In addition, the lithium-ion battery can be made thinner and lighter. Representative examples of polymeric materials include silicone gel, acrylic gel, and acrylonitrile gel. , polyethylene oxide, polypropylene oxide, fluorine-based polymers, etc.

[0314] In addition, a flame-retardant and non-volatile ionic liquid (room-temperature molten salt) was used as the solvent for the electrolyte. By using multiple batteries, the internal temperature of the lithium-ion battery can be prevented from rising due to internal short circuits or overcharging. Even if the temperature rises, it can prevent lithium-ion batteries from exploding or catching fire.

[0315] In addition, instead of the electrolyte, solid electrolytes containing inorganic materials such as sulfides and oxides, and P A solid electrolyte containing a polymer material such as EO (polyethylene oxide) can be used. When a solid electrolyte is used, the separator is not required. Since the device can be integrated into one body, there is no risk of leakage, and safety is improved dramatically.

[0316] Note that the configuration of the power storage body 913 is not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. 10. For a laminated power storage body 913, an example will be described with reference to FIG. 17.

[0317] The laminated power storage body 913 shown in FIG. 17 includes a positive electrode current collector 991 and a positive electrode active material layer 992 a positive electrode 993 having, a separator 997, a negative electrode current collector 994 and a negative electrode active material layer 995 a negative electrode 996 having are laminated, enclosed in an exterior body 999, and a battery in which an electrolytic solution 998 is injected exists. In FIG. 17, the power storage body 913 shows a structure in which a sheet-like positive electrode 993 and a negative electrode 996 are stacked one by one However, in order to increase the battery capacity, it is preferable to wind the above laminated structure or seal after stacking a plurality of sheets. In particular, when the form of a lithium ion battery is made into a laminated type, since the battery has flexibility, it is suitable for applications that require flexibility.

[0376] The drive device 1583 is configured by combining a DC motor or an AC motor alone, or a motor and an internal combustion engine. (Acceleration, deceleration, stop, etc.) and information during traveling (information such as uphill and downhill, load information applied to the drive wheels, etc.). Based on the input information, a control signal is output to the control circuit 1582. The control circuit 1 582 adjusts the electric energy supplied from the power storage device 1581 according to the control signal of the processing device 1584 and controls the output of the drive device 1583. When an AC motor is mounted although not shown, an inverter for converting DC to AC is also built in.

[0377] The power storage device 1581 can be charged by power supply from the power supply device 1590. The charging can be performed by converting it into a DC constant voltage having a constant voltage value via a conversion device such as an AC / DC converter. By mounting the power storage device according to one aspect of the present invention as the power storage device 1581, it is possible to contribute to increasing the capacity of the battery and the like, and to improve convenience.

[0379] As the power storage device described with reference to FIGS. 20 to 24, for example, the device 100 shown in Embodiment 1 can be applied.

[0380] Note that one power supply device 1450 can also supply power to a plurality of power storage devices. For example, the power supply device 1450 transmits a confirmation signal to each electric device using a wireless signal, and can supply power to each electric device in order according to the response signal from the electric device. At this time, each power storage device may have a collision prevention function (anti-collision function) so that each power storage device can respond to the radio wave received from the power supply device 1450 at different timings. For example, when each power storage device has different identification data, since it is possible to select a power storage device that responds based on the identification data, each power storage device can respond at different timings. Therefore, for example, when the power supply device 1450 has a plurality of oscillation circuits, it is also possible to supply power to a plurality of power storage devices in order by controlling each oscillation circuit. Also, it is possible to supply power to each power storage device simultaneously. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
