发明名称 Detection circuits for batteries
摘要 A detection circuit includes a sensing unit, a signal reference source, and a detecting unit. The sensing unit provides a sensed signal by sensing an input signal representing a status of a battery. The signal reference source comprises a reference node and determines a signal reference at the reference node, and receives and is biased by the sensed signal at the same reference node to generate a trigger signal indicative of a difference between the sensed signal and the signal reference. The detecting unit is coupled to the signal reference source and generates an output signal according to the trigger signal to indicate an abnormal condition is present in the battery.
