Abstract
To obtain a required delay time at each control using one capacitor in common, a charge and discharge control circuit includes an overcharge detecting circuit, an overdischarging circuit, and an overcurrent detecting circuit and carries out charge and discharge control of a secondary cell by ON/OFF control. A delay circuit includes plural current sources or a resistor and a single capacitor to obtain a varying delay time in response to a signal from outside. The charge and discharge control circuit operates the delay circuit so that a required delay output is obtained from the delay circuit by a first control circuit and ON/OFF controls a switch circuit by a second control circuit so that a required charge and discharge control is carried out with delay by the delay output.
