Abstract:
A semiconductor device including: lines connected to lines between respective neighboring battery cells of plural battery cells connected in series; at each of the battery cells, a voltage detection portion that detects a battery voltage value of the battery cell based on a voltage provided by the lines connected to the high potential side of the battery cell and to the low potential side of the battery cell; and at each of the lines, a regulation portion that regulates current to make a first current and a second current cancel out, the first current being caused to flow in a first direction in the resistor element by the battery cell at the high potential side of the line, and the second current being caused to flow in a second direction in the resistor element by the battery cell at the low potential side of the line.

Claim (Index 1):
A semiconductor device comprising:\n a plurality of lines connected between respective neighboring battery cells of a plurality of battery cells connected in series; a plurality of constant current sources that correspond to each of the plurality of battery cells, respectively, wherein each of the plurality of constant current sources is connected between one line connected to a high potential side of a respective battery cell and another line connected to a low potential side of the respective battery cell; a plurality of comparison circuits that correspond to each of the plurality of battery cells, respectively, wherein a first terminal of each of the plurality of the comparison circuits is connected to a one line side of a respective constant current source; and a plurality of reference voltage sources that correspond to each of the plurality of comparison circuits, respectively, wherein each of the plurality of reference voltage sources is connected to a second terminal of a respective comparison circuit and outputs a reference voltage to the second terminal of the respective comparison circuit.
