Title: System and method for monitoring battery equalization
Inventor: PATTERSON CIARAN
IPC: G01R31/36
Filed: 2002-10-07
Granted: 2007-08-01
Abstract: A system and method for protecting against battery overcharging is used with an automotive electrical system having an alternator that supplies an output voltage V<sub>OUT</sub> to a string of at least first and second series-connected rechargeable batteries, an equalizer coupled to at least the first and second batteries, and at least a higher voltage load or a lower voltage load connected across respective sets of batteries of the string. The voltage V<sub>OUT</sub> is regulated to a target value V<sub>TARGET</sub>, and this target value V<sub>TARGET</sub> is reduced when either the voltage V<sub>1</sub> across the first battery exceeds a first threshold value T<sub>1</sub> or when a voltage V<sub>2</sub> across the second battery exceeds a second threshold value T<sub>2</sub>. In this way, both of the batteries are protected against over-voltage conditions. A warning signal is illuminated to indicate to a user when either of the batteries is outside of its normal operating range.

Abstract: Mask and integrated circuit fabrication approaches are described to facilitate use of so called “full phase” masks. This facilitates use of masks where substantially all of a layout is defined using phase shifting. In one embodiment, the phase shifting mask and the trim mask are exposed using substantially the same exposure conditions. These approaches facilitate better exposure profiles for the resulting ICs and can thus improve chip yield and increase throughput by reducing the need to alter settings and/or switch reticles between exposures.
