Charge-discharge control circuit including cell balancing circuits, cell balance detection circuits, overcharge detection circuits, and a control circuit

A charge-discharge control circuit configured to control charging and discharging of a plurality of batteries connected in series, comprising:

• a first input terminal to which a positive electrode of a first battery is connected through a first protective resistor;
• a second input terminal to which a negative electrode of the first battery and a positive electrode of a second battery are connected through a second protective resistor;
• a ground terminal to which a negative electrode of the second battery is connected;
• a first cell balancing circuit connected between the first input terminal and the second input terminal and having a first switch;
• a second cell balancing circuit connected between the second input terminal and the ground terminal and having a second switch;
• a first cell balance detection circuit connected between the first input terminal and the second input terminal and having a third switch;
• a second cell balance detection circuit connected between the second input terminal and the ground terminal and having a fourth switch;
• a control circuit configured to output a first control signal to turn on the first switch in a prescribed cycle according to a voltage of the first battery which is higher than or equal to a cell balance detection voltage, output a second control signal to turn on the second switch in the prescribed cycle according to a voltage of the second battery which is higher than or equal to the cell balance detection voltage, and output a third control signal to turn off the third switch and the fourth switch in the prescribed cycle while at least one of the first control signal turns on the first switch in the prescribed cycle or the second control signal turns on the second switch in the prescribed cycle;
• a first overcharge detection circuit connected between the first input terminal and the second input terminal and having a fifth switch;
• and
• a second overcharge detection circuit connected between the second input terminal and the ground terminal and having a sixth switch,
• wherein the control circuit is configured to output the third control signal to turn off the fifth switch and the sixth switch in the prescribed cycle while at least one of the first control signal turns on the first switch in the prescribed cycle or the second control signal turns on the second switch in the prescribed cycle.
