Schnittstellen des Universellen Seriellen Busses für Daten und Energie - Teil 3: Festlegung für den USB-Batterie-Ladevorgang, Überarbeitung 1.2 (IEC 62680-3:2013); Englische Fassung EN 62680-3:2013
Overview
The Working Group is chartered with creating specifications that define limits as well as detection, control and reporting mechanisms. It is to permit devices to draw current in excess of the USB 2.0 specification for charging and/or powering up from dedicated chargers, hosts, hubs and charging downstream ports. These mechanisms are backward compatible with USB 2.0 compliant hosts and peripherals. The responsible body is DKE/K 742 "Audio-, Video- und Multimediasysteme, -geräte und -komponenten" ("Audio video and multimedia systems, devices and components") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
