Abstract
The circuit has a common measurement transducer together with individual measurement interfaces for each of the cells. Each interface has its own generator for defining a measurement signal relating to a characteristic of the associated cell, and each of the interfaces has its own measurement signal output that is connected to the measurement transducer of the circuit via a common single-wire link. Each interface also includes two ports, operable in alternation so that one constitutes an input for control pulses transmitted to the interface while the other acts as an output for relaying such pulses after they have been received. Each interface also includes means for forcing a signal to be emitted via its measurement signal output to the measurement transducer of the circuit in the event of a threshold being crossed by a measurement element that monitors a characteristic of the cell with which the interface is associated.
