Abstract
A circuit is used for controlling charging and discharging a battery. The circuit comprises a first MOSFET for controlling discharging the battery, and a second MOSFET coupled in series to the battery and the first MOSFET for controlling charging the battery. The first and second MOSFETs have body diodes respectively, and the first body diode of the first MOSFET and the second body diode of the second MOSFET are coupled in opposite directions. A load is coupled to the battery and a common node between the first and second MOSFETs such that power in the battery is delivered to said load when the first MOSFET is turned on. The circuit further comprises a power source coupled to the second switch in series and power is delivered from the power source to the battery when the first and second MOSFETs are turned on.
