Battery Voltage Monitoring With Synchronized Current Timing

The patent extracts the time synchronization function from the communication processing steps. Instead of performing time information addition and analysis within the communication protocol, a dedicated time information management unit operates independently to generate and manage timing signals, separating the synchronization function from the data communication function.

The patent introduces a time information management unit as an intermediary component that mediates between the communication units and the measuring circuits. This unit receives timing information from communication, processes it through dedicated time management logic, and generates synchronized timing signals for voltage and current measurements, acting as a buffer that eliminates processing time variations.

The patent merges the time synchronization function with the existing communication unit structure. The time information management unit utilizes the communication unit's timing signals and integrates time management logic within the same functional block, combining communication and time management operations to avoid adding separate complex synchronization hardware.

The communication unit is designed to serve multiple functions: data transmission, timing signal generation, and time information management. By making the communication unit multi-functional, the patent eliminates the need for dedicated separate synchronization hardware, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining timing accuracy.
