Battery state monitoring circuit and battery device

A battery state monitoring circuit, comprising:

• a first voltage monitoring terminal used for connection with a positive terminal of one battery;
• a second voltage monitoring terminal used for connection with a negative terminal of the one battery;
• a first transmitting terminal;
• a second transmitting terminal;
• a first receiving terminal;
• a second receiving terminal;
• a control terminal;
• an overcharge detection circuit that detects whether or not the one battery is in an overcharged state based on a voltage between the first voltage monitoring terminal and the second voltage monitoring terminal, and outputs an overcharge detection signal indicative of a result of the detecting;
• an overdischarge detection circuit that detects whether or not the one battery is in an overdischarged state based on the voltage between the first voltage monitoring terminal and the second voltage monitoring terminal, and outputs an overdischarge detection signal indicative of a result of the detecting;
• an overdischarge cell balance circuit that detects whether or not cell balance control needs to be performed on the one battery based on the voltage between the first voltage monitoring terminal and the second voltage monitoring terminal, and outputs a cell balance signal indicative of a result of the detecting to the control terminal;
• an overcharge information communication circuit that transmits, when at least one of an overcharge signal indicative of whether or not another battery is in the overcharged state, which has been received via the first receiving terminal, and the overcharge detection signal indicates that at least one of the another battery and the one battery is in the overcharged state, an overcharge signal indicating that the at least one of the another battery and the one battery is in the overcharged state, from the first transmitting terminal to an outside;
• and
• an overdischarge information communication circuit that transmits, when at least one of an overdischarge signal indicative of whether or not the another battery is in the overdischarged state, which has been received via the second receiving terminal, and the overdischarge detection signal indicates that at least one of the another battery and the one battery is in the overdischarged state, an overdischarge signal indicating that the at least one of the another battery and the one battery is in the overdischarged state, from the second transmitting terminal to the outside,
• wherein the overdischarge cell balance circuit is configured to:
• receive, as inputs, the overdischarge detection signal, the overdischarge signal received via the second receiving terminal, and the overcharge signal received via the first receiving terminal;
• and
• output the cell balance signal when the overdischarge detection signal indicates an overdischarge non-detected state, the overdischarge signal received via the second receiving terminal indicates an overdischarge detected state, and the overcharge signal received via the first receiving terminal indicates an overcharge non-detected state.
