Abstract
A battery management circuit and method for managing a power supply and one or more battery strings includes a current sensing circuit and a battery measurement circuit. The current sensing circuit is configured to: receive a current signal from at least one of the battery strings at a first terminal of the current sensing circuit; measure a magnitude of the current signal; and provide a current sensing signal indicative of the magnitude of the current signal at a third terminal of the current sensing circuit. The battery measurement circuit is configured to: receive a current sensing signal at a third terminal of the battery management circuit; measure one or more characteristics of the at least one of the battery strings; and provide a power supply control signal at a first terminal of the battery measurement circuit.
