Abstract:
Controllers are provided for providing ports corresponding to Dual Role Powers (DRPs), which may be both the feed side and the receive side, in accordance with the USB Type-C and/or USB Power Delivery standards. The controller includes a control interface for controlling a power management unit for controlling charging and discharging of the secondary battery, a signal transmission module for exchanging a signal with a connection destination via a communication line in the USB cable, and a sequence execution unit. If the power supply from the secondary battery becomes over discharged while the power stored in the secondary battery as the power supply side is being supplied to the connection destination, the sequence execution unit stops the substantial execution of the sequence as the power receiving side unless a predetermined condition is satisfied.
