ABSTRACT:
A charge/discharge control circuit is provided which prevents an abnormally high charging voltage from damaging a secondary cell. The charge/discharge control circuit has an overcharge detecting circuit for detecting whether the secondary cell is in an overcharged state by comparing a divided output voltage of the secondary cell with a reference voltage, a delay circuit for outputting a delayed version of an output of the overcharge detecting circuit delayed by a predetermined delay time, and a high voltage detecting circuit for detecting whether the secondary cell is in a high voltage supplying state by detecting whether a voltage of the secondary cell is more than a predetermined level higher than the overcharge detecting voltage detected by the overcharge detecting circuit. The switch circuit is turned OFF to stop charging of the secondary cell when either the overcharge state or the high voltage supplying state is detected in response to outputs of the delay circuit and the high voltage detecting circuit.
