Abstract
One example discloses a charging system, including: a charging device configured to be coupled to a device to be charged; wherein the charging device includes a set of hardware defined charging attributes; wherein the charging device is configured to reconfigure the hardware defined charging attributes based on a specific charging protocol received from the device to be charged; and wherein the charging device is configured to output charging power to the device to be charged as defined by the specific charging protocol.
Claims19
A charging system, comprising:
- a charging device configured to be coupled to a device to be charged, wherein the charging device includes a set of hardware defined charging attributes, and is configured to reconfigure the hardware defined charging attributes by enabling and disabling a set of fixed circuits based on a specific charging protocol received from the device to be charged and output charging power to the device to be charged as defined by the specific charging protocol.
A method for charging, using a charging device configured to be coupled to a device to be charged, wherein the charging device includes a set of hardware defined charging attributes, comprising:
- receiving a specific charging protocol at the charging device from the device to be charged;
- reconfiguring the hardware defined charging attributes based on the specific charging protocol by enabling and disabling a set of fixed circuits;
- and
- outputting charging power from the charging device to the device to be charged as defined by the specific charging protocol.
