An apparatus and method for detecting battery pack voltage is disclosed.
The voltage detection apparatus includes a plurality of selectors for
providing a cell voltage of a predetermined cell, a detector buffer for
receiving the cell voltage of the predetermined cell and supplying an
intermediate voltage, a data process circuit for processing the
intermediate voltage to acquire a voltage value indicative of the cell
voltage of the predetermined cell, wherein each selector includes a
plurality of switches and a plurality of level shifters, each switch
being controlled by one of the plurality of level shifters to operate
with a safe gate-source voltage, source-bulk voltage and reverse-biased
body diode.
