Abstract:
A foreign object detection method for detecting whether a foreign object exists on a function pin of a power supplier side or a power receiver side, wherein the power supplier side and the power receiver side are coupled to each other in a detachable fashion. The foreign object detection method includes: discharging a capacitor via the function pin, wherein the capacitor is electrically connected to the function pin; providing a sensing current flowing through the function pin, to charge the capacitor; sensing a voltage variation of the function pin during a predetermined period; and comparing the voltage variation with a predetermined variation, so as to determine whether a foreign object exists on the function pin.
