Patent attributes
A battery management circuit includes: a reference signal generator that generates a first reference frequency signal and a second reference frequency signal having a phase different from a phase of the first reference frequency signal; an alternating-current superimposer that superimposes an alternating current on the secondary battery, the alternating current having a frequency component of the first reference frequency signal; a voltage measurer that measures a voltage of the secondary battery by performing sampling using a frequency; a current measurer that measures a current of the secondary battery by performing sampling using a frequency; and a converter that converts each of results of measurements by the voltage measurer and the current measurer into a complex voltage and a complex current, by multiplying the result of the measurement by the first reference frequency signal and the second reference frequency signal.
