IEC EN 62680-1-1 Universal Serial Bus Interfaces for Data and Power - Part 1-1: Universal Serial Bus Interfaces - USB Battery Charge Capability Test

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 62680-1-1 test. IEC EN 62680-1-1 contains specifications that define limits as well as detection, control and reporting mechanisms to allow devices to draw current in excess of the USB 2.0 specification for charging or powering from dedicated chargers, hosts. These mechanisms are backward compatible with USB 2.0 compliant hosts and peripherals.

USB ports on personal computers are convenient places for Portable Devices (PDs) to draw current to charge their batteries. This convenience has led to the creation of USB Chargers, which simply spawned a USB standard-A outlet. This allows PDs to use the same USB cable to charge from a PC or a USB Charger.

For a PD to determine how much current it is allowed to draw from an upstream USB port, there must be mechanisms that allow the PD to distinguish between a standard downstream port and a charging port. This specification defines just such mechanisms.

Because PDs can be plugged into USB chargers from various manufacturers, it's important that they all provide an acceptable user experience. This specification defines the requirements for a compatible USB charger, referred to in this specification as a USB Charger.
