Battery protection circuit and battery pack including same

A battery pack comprising:

• a battery module comprising a plurality of cells;
• and
• a battery protection circuit,
• wherein the battery protection circuit comprises:
• a plurality of pack terminals configured to connect the battery module to an external device;
• a first fuse element located on a current path between the battery module and the pack terminals to block a current flow between the battery module and the pack terminals depending on a voltage applied to a control terminal thereof;
• a first integrated circuit configured to include a first input terminal and control a voltage outputted to the control terminal of the first fuse element depending on a voltage applied to the first input terminal;
• and
• a plurality of thermistors connected in series between a positive electrode of the battery module and a first input terminal of the first integrated circuit and having resistance that is varied depending on a temperature of a corresponding cell among the plurality of cells.
