[0001] Cross - reference to Related Applications This disclosure claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202210756825.0, titled "BATTERY MANAGEMENT CHIP AND SYSTEM, AND VEHICLE", filed on June 30, 2022, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly, to battery management chips and systems, and vehicles.
Background Art
[0003] A battery management system (BMS) mainly acquires the voltage, current, temperature, dynamic internal resistance, and other data of a battery pack, and transmits the data using a conventional wiring harness communication mode to an upper - level control module to realize interactive control of data transmission.
[0004] Currently, battery packs, which consist of multiple battery cells, are monitored by a battery management chip. The high voltage of the battery pack presents significant challenges to the process and safety of the battery management chip. Secondly, the normal operation of the battery management chip requires low voltage, and in order to ensure the consistency of the electrical quantities of all battery cells in the battery pack, it is necessary to obtain power from the total voltage and then obtain a voltage that the chip can use after step-down processing, which increases unnecessary energy loss in the battery cells. In addition, the battery management chip monitors multiple battery cells simultaneously, and there is a risk that if the chip fails during long-term vehicle operation, as a result, cell data of multiple battery cells will be lost, increasing the vehicle's failure rate. Finally, although multiple battery cells are monitored by the management chip, the management chip requires the use of complex sampling wiring harnesses and connectors, which simultaneously complicates the design of the battery management chip's sampling board, leading to a sharp increase in costs on the one hand, and on the other hand, the stability and reliability of the harness connectors increase the vehicle's failure rate. At the same time, the boost circuit of electronic power technology cannot guarantee the normal operation of the chip under a wide range of low voltages.

[0039] Embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, and embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative.
[0040] The battery management chip acquires voltage, current, temperature, and resistance data from the battery cells and transmits this data to the control module. The control module then analyzes and processes the data to control the operation of the battery cells.
[0041] Hereinafter, a battery management chip according to one embodiment of the present disclosure will be described as an example with reference to Figures 1 to 4.
[0042] As shown in Figure 1, a battery management chip 1 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a battery cell data sampling module 10, a data processing module 11, a first communication module 12, and a first power module 13.
[0043] The battery cell data sampling module 10 is configured to acquire battery cell data from battery cells (BC), the data processing module 11 is connected to the battery cell data sampling module 10 and used to process the battery cell data, the first communication module 12 is connected to the data processing module 11 and used to transmit the processed battery cell data to the control module, and the first power module 13 is connected to the battery cells and the data processing module 11 and is used to receive the initial voltage output by the battery cells and perform a boosting process on the initial voltage to provide the operating voltage to the data processing module 11. It can be understood that the battery management chip 1 is connected in correspondence to a single battery cell to avoid the battery cell operating under high voltage, thereby avoiding the problem of the battery cell needing to be bucked to supply power to the battery management chip 1, and reducing unnecessary energy loss. Furthermore, the battery management chip is connected to a single battery cell to detect a single battery cell, which significantly reduces the risk of the battery management chip failing during long-term operation of the vehicle and lowers the vehicle's failure rate. Finally, since the battery management chip is connected to a single battery cell, the use of wiring harnesses and connectors is significantly reduced, which can lessen the complexity of the chip design and make the design more flexible.
[0044] In one embodiment, when the battery management chip 1 receives a valid operation command, such as a voltage acquisition command, the battery cell data sampling module 10 acquires battery cell data from the battery cell according to the received corresponding operation command. The initial voltage of the battery cell is a wide range of low voltage signals, for example, the initial voltage of the battery cell is between 2.5V and 5.5V, so the normal operation of the battery management chip 1 cannot be guaranteed. At this point, in order to provide an operating voltage for the normal operation of the data processing module 11, the initial voltage of the battery cell is boosted by the first power module 13, for example, the operating voltage after boosting is between 3.3V and 5V. As a result, the data processing module 11 processes the battery cell data after receiving it from the battery cell data sampling module 10 and transmits the processed battery cell data to the control module via the first communication module 12. The control module analyzes and processes the received battery cell data and issues corresponding operation commands to the battery cell. By configuring the first power module 13, the initial voltage output from the battery cell is boosted to provide an operating voltage to the data processing module 11, and as a result, the battery management chip 1 can operate normally under a wide range of low voltages.
[0045] A battery management chip according to one embodiment of the present disclosure boosts the initial voltage output by a battery cell via a first power module, provides an operating voltage to a data processing module, ensures that the battery management chip can operate over a wide range of low voltages, and monitors one battery cell in correspondence via one battery management chip. In the first embodiment, the battery management chip does not need to face the high voltage generated by multiple battery cells in series, avoiding unnecessary energy loss by preventing the battery cells from operating under high voltage, thereby reducing the process requirements for chip manufacturing and saving energy consumption. In the second embodiment, the risk of chip failure can be reduced, avoiding the loss of data from multiple battery cells in one go, and reducing the vehicle failure rate. In the third embodiment, the flexibility of the battery management chip can be improved, reducing the use of numerous wiring harnesses and connectors, reducing the complexity of the battery management chip, and improving the stability and reliability of the battery management chip.
[0046] For example, Figure 2 shows a block diagram of a first power module 13 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The first power module 13 includes an input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130, a boost circuit unit 131, and an output filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 132. The input terminal of the input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130 is connected to the voltage output terminal of a battery cell and is used to reduce voltage ripple interference of the initial voltage output by the battery cell and to output a DC voltage. The boost circuit unit 131 is connected to the output terminal of the input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130 and is used to boost the DC voltage to obtain an initial target voltage. The output filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 132 is connected to the boost circuit unit 131 and is used to filter and stabilize the initial target voltage to obtain a target voltage, output the target voltage, and provide an operating voltage to the data processing module 11.
[0047] In this embodiment, the initial voltage is provided by a single battery cell. After the single battery cell outputs the initial voltage, the input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130 receives the initial voltage, reduces voltage ripple interference in the initial voltage to obtain a relatively stable DC voltage, and outputs the DC voltage. The output DC voltage is boosted by the boost circuit unit 131 to obtain an initial target voltage, which is then sent to the output filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 132. The output filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 132 performs filtering and stabilization on the received initial target voltage to obtain a target voltage, which is then output to the data processing module 11, providing the data processing module 11 with an operating voltage. It can be understood that the initial voltage is a wide range of low voltages, and that the DC voltage, which is the initial voltage with voltage ripple interference removed, is processed by the boost circuit unit 131 to obtain the initial target voltage. The initial target voltage provides the operating voltage for the normal operation of the battery management chip 1. The initial target voltage is stabilized and filtered to obtain a relatively stable initial target voltage, which is then adopted as the target voltage. The initial voltage output from the battery cell is boosted by the boost circuit unit 131 to provide the operating voltage to the data processing module 11, ensuring that the battery management chip can operate over a wide range of low voltages.
[0048] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2, the boost circuit unit 131 is integrally located within the first power module 13. Integrating the boost circuit unit 131 within the first power module 13 saves space and reduces costs compared to using devices that cannot be integrated, such as inductors and transformers.
[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2, the first power module 13 further includes a sampling feedback unit 133. The sampling feedback unit 133 is connected to an output filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 132 and a boost circuit unit 131, respectively, and is used to acquire a target voltage value and feed back the target voltage value to the boost circuit unit 131. The boost circuit unit 131 is further used to receive the target voltage value and adjust the boost operation of the DC voltage based on the target voltage value, so that the initial target voltage output after adjustment is filtered and stabilized by the output filtering stabilization circuit unit 132, and the output target voltage is within a preset voltage range.
[0050] In one embodiment, the preset voltage range is a voltage range that ensures the normal operation of the battery management chip 1, for example, 3.3V to 5V. Considering that the current consumption of the battery management chip 1 differs depending on the operating mode and the target voltage changes significantly, after the output filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 132 outputs the target voltage, the sampling feedback unit 133 detects the initial target voltage at this point, and the boost operation of the boost circuit unit 131 is adjusted in real time based on the voltage value of the target voltage to ensure that the output target voltage is within the preset voltage range, in other words, it is ensured that the output target voltage does not change significantly due to changes in the operating mode.
[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 3 shows a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of a boost circuit unit 131 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The boost circuit unit 131 includes a PWM generation circuit subunit 134, the first terminal of which is connected to the output terminal of an input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130, the second terminal of which is grounded, and the third terminal of which is used to output a PWM signal; and a charge pump boost subunit 135, the first terminal of which is connected to the third terminal of which is used to adjust the frequency and duty cycle of the PWM signal in real time until an initial target voltage is obtained. Of these, the charge pump boost subunit 135 employs the principle of charge pump circuit boosting and operates by charge transfer. A pump-capacitor can transfer charge from the input terminal to the output terminal to provide the current required by the load, employing a capacitor for energy storage, and can provide high-current operation with no EMI interference, low noise, low cost, low quiescent current, low output voltage ripple, and feedback adjustment.
[0052] In one embodiment, the boost circuit unit 131 is preceded by a PWM generation circuit subunit 134 and followed by a charge pump boost subunit 135. The charge pump boost subunit 135 controls the frequency and duty cycle of the PWM signal. The boost circuit unit 131 continuously boosts the DC voltage through the PWM generation circuit subunit 134 and the charge pump boost subunit 135 until an initial target voltage is obtained.
[0053] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3, the PWM generation circuit subunit 134 includes an energy storage subunit C1, a waveform generation subunit 136, a voltage follower circuit 137, a first comparator Q1, a second comparator Q2, a charge / discharge capacitor C2, and a duty cycle adjustment resistor RE1. Of these, one terminal of the energy storage subunit C1 is connected to the output terminal of the input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130, and the other terminal of the energy storage subunit C1 is grounded. The first terminal of the waveform generation subunit 136 is connected to the output terminal of the input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130, and the second terminal of the waveform generation subunit 136 is grounded. The first terminal of the voltage follower circuit 137 is connected to the output terminal of the input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130, and the third terminal of the voltage follower circuit 137 is grounded. The positive-sequence input terminal of the first comparator Q1 is connected to the first terminal of the waveform generation subunit 136. The positive-sequence input terminal of the second comparator Q2 is connected to the third terminal of the voltage follower circuit 137, the inverting input terminal of the second comparator Q2 is connected to the inverting input terminal of the first comparator Q1, and the output terminal of the second comparator Q2 is connected to the first terminal of the charge pump boost subunit 135. One terminal of the charge / discharge capacitor C2 is connected to the inverting input terminal of the first comparator Q1 and the inverting input terminal of the second comparator Q2, and the other terminal of the charge / discharge capacitor C2 is grounded. One terminal of the duty cycle adjustment resistor RE1 is connected to the output terminal of the input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130, and the other terminal of the duty cycle adjustment resistor RE1 is connected to the second terminal of the voltage follower circuit 137.
[0054] In this embodiment, the charge / discharge capacitor C2 and the first comparator Q1 in the PWM generation circuit subunit 134 output a sawtooth wave, and the duty cycle adjustment resistor RE1 is adjusted to output a PWM signal for use in subsequent circuits via the voltage follower circuit 137 and the second comparator Q2.
[0055] For example, as shown in Figure 3, the waveform generation subunit 136 includes a voltage adjustment subunit and a charge / discharge subunit. The voltage adjustment subunit includes a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3, and a fourth resistor R4. The charge / discharge subunit includes a fifth resistor R5. One terminal of the first resistor R1 is connected to the output terminal of the input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130. One terminal of the second resistor R2 is connected to the output terminal of the input filtering voltage stabilization circuit unit 130. One terminal of the third resistor R3 is connected to the other terminal of the first resistor R1, and the other terminal of the third resistor R3 is connected to the other terminal of the second resistor R2. One terminal of the fourth resistor R4 is connected to the positive-sequence input terminal of the first comparator Q1, and the other terminal of the fourth resistor R4 is grounded. One terminal of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to the output terminal of the first comparator Q1, and the other terminal of the fifth resistor R5 is connected to one terminal of the charge / discharge capacitor C2.
[0056] It is understood that the PWM generation circuit subunit 134 can be divided into three stages when outputting a PWM pulse waveform. In the first stage, the voltage at the inverting input terminal of the first comparator Q1 is 0, and the voltage at the positive-sequence input terminal is R4*VBAT / (R4+((R2+R3) / / R1)). At this point, the first comparator Q1 outputs a high level and charges the charge / discharge capacitor C2 via the fifth resistor R5. In the second stage, when the charging voltage of the charge / discharge capacitor C2 reaches the voltage at the positive-sequence input terminal of the first comparator Q1, i.e., R4*VBAT / (R4+((R2+R3) / / R1)), the first comparator Q1 outputs a low level, and the voltage at the positive-sequence input terminal of the first comparator Q1 is (R3 / / The voltage is (R4)*VBAT / ((R3 / / R4)+R1), and the charge / discharge capacitor C2 is discharged through the fifth resistor R5. In the third stage, when the voltage discharged by the charge / discharge capacitor C2 to the positive-sequence input terminal of the first comparator Q1 is lower than (R3 / / R4)*VBAT / ((R3 / / R4)+R1), the first comparator Q1 outputs a high level, returning to the first stage and thereby realizing the output PWM pulse waveform.
[0057] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the voltage waveform of a charge / discharge capacitor C2 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. As can be seen from Figure 4, the waveform in the charge / discharge capacitor C2 differs depending on the stage.
[0058] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3, the voltage follower circuit 137 includes a voltage divider subunit and a voltage difference output unit. One terminal of the voltage divider subunit is connected to the other terminal of a duty cycle adjustment resistor RE1, and the other terminal of the voltage divider subunit is grounded. Specifically, the voltage divider subunit includes a sixth resistor, and the voltage difference output unit includes a triode Q3, a seventh resistor R7, and a voltage stabilization energy storage capacitor C3. One terminal of the seventh resistor R7 is connected to one terminal of the duty cycle adjustment resistor RE1. The base electrode of the triode Q3 is connected to the other terminal of the duty cycle adjustment resistor RE1, and the collector electrode of the triode Q3 is connected to the other terminal of the seventh resistor R7.

The other terminal of the eighth resistor Rload is connected to the other terminal of the second feedback resistor Rf2, the inverting input terminal of the feedback comparator Q3' is connected to the other terminal of the first feedback resistor Rf1, the positive-phase input terminal of the feedback comparator Q3' is connected to the output terminal of the sampling feedback unit 133, the input terminal of the logic subunit 139 is connected to the output terminal of the feedback comparator Q3', and the output terminal of the logic subunit 139 is connected to the adjustment terminal of the tuning resistor RON.
[0063] It will be understood that the PWM wave outputs a PWM1 waveform via inverter 138, and a PWM2 waveform on another path that does not pass through inverter 138, and that the waveform that passes through inverter 138 is the inverse of the waveform that does not pass through inverter 138.
[0064] In this embodiment, after the boost circuit unit 131 is activated, in the first half cycle, PWM2 is low, and the PWM generation circuit subunit 134 is low, controlling the first switch transistor Q4 and the third switch transistor Q6 to be switched on to charge the pump capacitor CE1.

If the voltage at the inverting input terminal of the feedback comparator Q3' is lower than the voltage at the output terminal of the sampling feedback unit 133, the feedback comparator Q3' sends a signal to the logic subunit 139 indicating that the output voltage is too low, and the logic subunit 139 adjusts the tuning resistor RON after the determination process to control the charge pump boost subunit to boost the voltage to reach the target voltage.
[0066] If the voltage at the inverting input terminal of the feedback comparator Q3' is greater than the voltage at the output terminal of the sampling feedback unit 133, the feedback comparator Q3' sends a signal to the logic subunit 139 indicating that the output voltage is too high. The logic subunit 139 then adjusts the tuning resistor RON after the decision process and controls the charge pump boost subunit to step down the voltage to reach the target voltage.
[0067] Currently, the communication mode employed by common battery management chips is primarily twisted-pair daisy-chain cables. This wired communication mode using twisted-pair daisy-chain cables requires the addition of isolation devices and electromagnetic compatibility protection devices to the communication terminals to ensure the reliability and stability of vehicle communication in complex interference environments. Secondly, when the twisted-pair daisy-chain cable wired communication mode synchronously monitors battery cell information, the requirements of serial transmission mode and bidirectional transmission result in delays in data reception, increasing the demand for timing processing in synchronous monitoring. Finally, wired communication methods require wiring harnesses and connectors, which also present significant challenges to the reliability, stability, and cost of the wiring harnesses and connectors.

Secondly, the communication mode of the first wireless communication unit is adopted, and compared to the wired communication mode using twisted-pair daisy-chain cables, the wireless communication mode makes information interaction more flexible and convenient, realizes natural time-synchronous measurement, and supports more synchronous induction functions. Furthermore, it can avoid the problem of battery information loss caused by wiring harnesses and improve the overall safety of the vehicle. Finally, by reducing complex wiring harnesses and connectors, the overall weight and complexity of the vehicle can be reduced, design flexibility can be improved, and maintenance can be made simpler and more convenient.

It can be understood that by configuring the equalization module 14, if the voltage matching of the battery cells is abnormal, i.e., if the voltage of one battery cell is high, the equalization module 14 will reduce the voltage of that battery cell, and as a result the difference between the voltage of one battery cell and the minimum voltage of the remaining battery cells will be reduced, thereby ensuring voltage matching between individual battery cells.
