Provided are a charge/discharge control circuit and a charging type power supply device which include an intermediate terminal disconnection detection circuit having low current consumption. In the charge/discharge control circuit, a constant current circuit serving as an intermediate terminal disconnection detection circuit is provided to a terminal to which secondary batteries are connected, and includes a depletion type metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor and a resistor connected between a gate terminal and a source terminal of the depletion type MOS transistor.

Charge/discharge control circuit and charging type power supply device

Provided are a battery state monitoring circuit and a battery device that are capable of reliably controlling charge by a charger even if a voltage of a secondary battery drops to around 0 V. In the battery device provided with the battery state monitoring circuit, respective gate voltages of a P-type metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) transistor and an N-type metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) transistor, which together form a voltage detection circuit for detecting a voltage of around 0 V of the secondary battery, are applied by a voltage dividing resistor circuit that is connected across terminals of the secondary battery.

Battery state monitoring circuit and battery device

Provided are a battery state monitoring circuit and a battery device which are capable of inhibiting discharge without enabling an overdischarge cell balance function when an overcurrent detection circuit detects a discharge overcurrent, without the need for an additional terminal of the battery state monitoring circuit. A detection signal of the overcurrent detection circuit is input to each of a communication terminal for overdischarge signal and a communication terminal for overcharge signal included in the battery state monitoring circuit provided on a side of the overcurrent detection circuit. An overdischarge cell balance circuit outputs a cell balance signal when an overdischarge detection signal indicates an overdischarge non-detected state, an overdischarge signal indicates an overdischarge detected state, and an overcharge signal indicates an overcharge non-detected state.
