Abstract:
A charging cable configured to obtain power from different power supply devices for delivery to a chargeable electronic device, and to techniques and equipment to enable the charging cable to identify current limitation of the connected power supply device and to enforce that current limit via the charging cable. The charging cable has a logic circuit coupled to signal pins to detect a signal indicating a power limitation of the power supply device. The logic circuit controls a current limiter connected in the power delivery bus of the charging cable to limit current flowing through the charging cable.
