The present invention relates generally to power management, power conversion and batteries and, more particularly, to power conversion for batteries.
Most of the electronic devices today are configured for specific battery types and chemistries. The selection of which chemistry to use is usually based upon an assessment of, among other considerations, the device's environmental conditions and expected lifetime, and the price of the battery at time of design.
Different batteries have different chemistries, each having their own properties, advantages and challenges. One conventional type of battery, that is used extensively especially in lower-end products, uses a Nickel-Cadmium (Ni—Cd) chemistry. A Ni—Cd battery has numerous drawbacks and limitations: it allows only moderate energy density (45-80 Wh/Kg); has a high rate of self-discharge of approximately 20% per month; and requires charging maintenance in the form of periodic charge/discharge cycles in order to prevent memory-effects which limit the usable capacity of the battery. Furthermore, the compounds used in its production are highly toxic and cause environmental problems. Cells of this chemistry have an output voltage of approximately 1.25 volts. The Nickel-Metal-Hydride (NiMH) chemistry is a variation of Ni-Cad and shares many of the Ni-Cad properties. It provides a slightly higher energy density 60-120 Wh/Kg.
In the recent years, Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have become prevalent, especially in devices which require high energy densities such as laptops, medical devices and cell-phones. This chemistry provides high energy density (150-190 Wh/Kg) and is environmentally friendly. However, it also suffers from numerous drawbacks. It has a limited life and after 300-500 cycles the battery's capacity drops to 80% of the rated capacity. It has very low tolerance to overcharging, and if mistreated might become thermally unstable and hazardous. In order to maintain the battery's safety, it is essential to have charge/discharge monitoring and protection circuits that prevent over-discharge, monitor the charging process and stop the charging before over-charge. Cells of this chemistry have a maximum output voltage of approximately 4.1V but will provide efficient power at approximately 3.6V, and their voltage shouldn't drop under 2.5V-3V, depending on the kind of Li-ion used.
There is continuous progress in increasing the capacity of different types of the Li-ion chemistry and new battery technologies, such as spinnel and Li-Polymer, keep emerging. These technologies, while similar to the regular Li-ion technology, may require adaptation of the hosting devices due to slightly different voltages or charge procedures.
Finally, there are radically new battery technologies in the making, such as nano-tube based batteries, which hold the promise of much higher charge capacities. However, because these batteries will have electronic properties different from the currently common batteries, the current electronic products would need an adaptation circuit in order to benefit from such batteries.
As set forth above, most electronic devices are configured for a specific battery type. Locking the design of an electronic device into one specific battery type prevents the device owners from enjoying the benefits of new battery technologies, price reductions and other advances. In order to enjoy such benefits, the device must be re-designed in order to fit the new batteries. This is not desirable for the buyer.
Furthermore, if problems are found in the battery management circuits, a recall may have to be made in order to fix the problem. Recalls, that happen not infrequently, are costly to the device manufacturer.
Energy efficiency in analog conversion circuits is greatly dependant upon the current consumption. The conversion efficiency will usually be high for the designed load and current consumption, but as the load changes the efficiency drops. Thus, if good energy efficiency is desired, the conversion circuit must be specifically designed for the host device. Building a voltage-converting circuit to fit many different products and, thus, many different loads, is complicated and results in a large converter that is not suitable for a small battery.
The following summary of the invention is included to provide a basic understanding of some aspects and features of the invention. This summary is not an extensive overview of the invention, and as such it is not intended to particularly identify key or critical elements of the invention, or to delineate the scope of the invention. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts of the invention in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented below.

According to aspects of the invention, an intelligent battery is provided, comprising: a casing; one or more battery cells housed within the casing; and a conversion circuit housed within the casing, the conversion circuit adapted to perform digital power conversion; wherein the conversion circuit controls a voltage conversion to convert a voltage of the battery cells to a voltage level corresponding to load requirement, and wherein the conversion circuit controls a charging of the battery cells to provide an external DC voltage to the battery cells according to charging requirements of the battery cells.

The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, exemplify the embodiments of the present invention and, together with the description, serve to explain and illustrate principles of the invention. The drawings are intended to illustrate major features of the exemplary embodiments in a diagrammatic manner. The drawings are not intended to depict every feature of actual embodiments nor relative dimensions of the depicted elements, and are not drawn to scale.
Aspects of the present invention are directed to an intelligent battery including one or more battery cells together with digital power management and conversion electronics. The intelligent battery provides a substantially constant voltage required by the hosting device and manages the charge/discharge operations. As a result, the hosting device may be simplified and different battery chemistries may be made compatible with a particular hosting device.
In one aspect of the invention, a single package is provided, which includes both battery cell or cells and a power management integrated circuit (IC). In one aspect of the invention, the package includes two separate modules, one including the battery cells and the other including the power management IC such that the battery cells may be replaced. The power management IC that is used may be included in the host device, thus enabling the host device to use different battery cells. In one aspect, a safety circuit monitors the battery to prevent misuse and a charge circuit correctly charges the battery in an adequate manner. Fuel-gauging may be used to provide data about the state-of-charge of the battery and monitoring may be used to provide data about the state-of-health of the battery. The battery cells used in various aspects of the invention may include chemical battery cells, fuel-cells, photovoltaic cells and the like.
Aspects of the invention also provide a method for utilizing a first type of battery in an application and a circuit that is designed for a second type of battery. A power conversion scheme is used to convert the power output from the first type of battery to the power that would be output from the second type of battery. The power conversion scheme may be implemented digitally, due to its greater versatility and higher efficiencies over large load variations. Also, when a charger corresponding to the second type of battery is being used to charge the first type of battery, the charging voltage is adjusted by the digital power conversion scheme to a level appropriate for charging the first battery. Digital power conversion schemes are used because they maintain a more uniform efficiency over a wider range of loads when compared to analog power conversion schemes that are efficient only near their design load.
The casing interfaces to external components and a host device via the anode 106 and the cathode 110 terminals. Through the anode and the cathode terminals 106, 110, energy from the battery may be supplied to a hosting device and external voltage may be applied to the battery in order to charge the battery.
The power management and conversion unit 104 may provide the power conversion, battery charge/discharge and communication functionality. The power management and conversion unit 104 may be implemented in a PCB with discrete components soldered to it. Alternatively, the power management and conversion unit 104 may be implemented in a single component IC.
The power management and conversion unit 104 controls the power delivered to the load and the power extracted from the batteries. As for the power delivery to the load, unit 104 may be programmed with the parameters of the load, e.g., voltage and current requirements. The programming can be done beforehand in the factory, and may also be done by user programming or by “learning” the requirements from interaction with the load. As for power extracted from the battery, here too unit 104 may be programmed in the factory for a certain type of cell, but may have means for modifying this programming or for programming in the field by user or by “learning” the cell's characteristics. For example, unit 104 could learn what battery-cell it is coupled to based on sensing the output voltage, performing short-circuit for a very short time to determine the maximum current, see how long it takes to drain to gather capacity, etc. Using this information unit 104 provides the required output power to the load, but extracts power according to the requirements of the battery or cells. In this manner, any type of battery may be connected to any type of device.
The optional debug and telemetry terminals 108 are used for ascertaining status information about the intelligent battery or for providing the intelligent battery with operating instructions. Status information about the intelligent battery may be the state of charge (SoC) of the enclosed cell 102, state of health (SoH), internal temperature, and various statistics regarding the cell 102 that may be logged in the power management and conversion unit 104. This statistics include date of production, number of charge cycles to date, type of cells, cell output voltage, and regulated output voltage. Operating instructions to the intelligent battery may include requests for wanted regulator output voltage, current and voltage limiting, and various charge parameters. The charge parameters include the charging scheme parameters, amount of charge parameters and safety parameters. The charging schemes include constant current, constant voltage, trickle, and the like. The amount of charge parameters include the maximal and the minimal charge allowed. The safety parameters include the maximum allowed temperature.
Communications to and from the debug and telemetry terminals 108 may be implemented by various protocols. In one aspect of the invention, an asynchronous serial communication bus may be used, in other embodiments synchronous communications may be used such as SPI or I2C. Other protocols such as PMBus or SMBus may be used. Both point-to-point and bus topologies may be suitable for this type of communication. The communication may be wireless, either in active form by use of IR or RF transceivers, or in passive form by use of RFID or similar devices.
The battery module 212 includes an external battery cathode 217 and terminals 219 to the conversion module 214. The conversion module 214 includes an external battery anode 221, optional debug, telemetry and upgrade terminals 223 and terminals 225 to the battery module 212. The battery module 212 and the conversion module 214 may be connected through the terminals 219 and 225. The conversion module 214 may operate as unit 104 to ensure proper power output and proper power extraction from the battery module 212.
The conversion module may be implemented as application specific module or a generic module. When it is designed as application specific module, it is designed for a specific type of battery and a specific type of load. In such a case, its input and output power requirements are preprogrammed at the factory for the specific battery and specific load. On the other hand, if it is made as a generic module, means for programming different input and output power characteristics are provided, so that the conversion module 214 may be connected to any type of load and be used with any type of battery. Various methods for programming the required output and input may be implemented. For example, the unit may be coupled to a computer via a charger, USB, etc, and the required programming downloaded via the Internet. Also, means may be provided for a user to input a code when the battery type or load is changed.
In the modular intelligent battery 200, the battery cells 212 may be replaced when they malfunction or reach the end of their life. The modular intelligent battery 200, however, may require a larger casing or may be less reliable than the integral intelligent battery 100 of
Voltage output terminals 310 and 316 are provided at the conversion module 305 and may also be used for charging the battery module 302. Optionally, a debug and telemetry terminal 318 may be present to provide the functionality discussed above.
In one aspect of the invention, the conversion module 305 includes an IC 304 and external components. In
Analog power conversion schemes usually imply a linear control algorithm. These linear loops take a relatively long time to adapt to changes in current consumption by the load or the host. Thus, if the host suddenly starts to take more current, while the loop is adjusting, the voltage may drop. Large external capacitors and inductors are used to prevent the drop and maintain the required voltage until the loop adjusts. When digital conversion is used, the loop feedback may not be linear. As a result the convergence time may be much faster. Thus, smaller components may be used. This could be beneficial in mobile applications that require batteries.
As described above, and as depicted in
On the contrary, when digital power conversion schemes are used, efficient conversion could be achieved for a wider array of load conditions. As seen in
The charge/discharge unit 505 is provided to prevent a load or a host device from extracting too much energy from the battery cells during discharge and to provide over-current protection. The charge/discharge unit 505 also disconnects the battery cells when they are empty in order to prevent over-discharge. During charge, the unit 505 controls the charging schemes used. Such schemes may be constant charge ratio, constant current, constant voltage and trickle charge. Because the charging of the battery cells may be software controllable, other schemes may also be implemented.
The DC to DC voltage conversion unit 506 is included to provide the host device with the desired voltage. The conversion unit 506 may be a buck, boost, buck/boost or Cuk converter. The conversion may be done substantially inside the IC 504 with field effect transistors (FETs) and drivers fabricated on the silicon substrate and only minimal external components such as an inductor and a capacitor may be used in addition to the circuits existing on the IC 504. The use of buck-boost or cascaded buck boost may be useful where the cell output voltage may drop below the desired output voltage. For example, if a Li-ion cell is used and a 3.3V output voltage is desired, because fully charged Li-ion cells provide 3.6V to 4.1V, a buck conversion is needed when the battery is fully charged. The buck conversion provides a step down conversion from 3.6V or 4.1V to the desirable 3.3V output voltage. However, Li-ion cells may drop to 2.5V and to fully utilize the charge contained in these cells, a boost conversion is performed to raise the output voltage.
The battery protection unit 510 is included such that proper charge and discharge conditions are applied. Monitoring of cell parameters such as temperature or pressure may be achieved via connection 526 to cell sensors located in a battery module such as the battery module 302 of
The fuel gauging unit 512 may be present to monitor the state of charge of the battery cell. This information is reported to the CPU 514 and may be transferred to the host device. This information may also be used to prevent overcharge or over-discharge of the cell. Both overcharge and over-discharge conditions may prove dangerous to certain cell chemistries.
The current sense unit 508 is used to sense the current. The sensed current is used for the functioning of both the protection unit 510 and the fuel gauge unit 512. This current sensing may be done by monitoring the voltage drop across a sense resistor such as a resistor 517 shown in
The CPU 514 is used for digital power conversion management. The CPU 514 may be implemented via a micro-processor, for ease of development, or via a state-machine, which may provide lower current consumption. The CPU 514 monitors various parameters, such as an input voltage 518 and an output voltage 520 to the IC 504, and controls the various internal units of the IC 504 that are described above. The CPU 514 also may communicate with outside devices via the debug and telemetry port.
The internal voltage regulation unit 516 regulates the voltage required by each of the other internal units. The internal voltage regulation unit 516 may receive voltage from the battery cells, and may also receive voltage from the host device in case the cells are exhausted and need to be charged.
One exemplary aspect of the present invention may be embodied in an intelligent battery casing that looks like a regular AA battery, in a manner similar to the battery depicted in
