Universal
Power Adapter for Mobile Devices
The Universal
Power Adapter for Mobile Devices (UPAMDTM) standard
defines a power delivery connection between a power adapter and a power using
device in the 10 Watt to <240 Watt range. A communications link between
the power adapter and the mobile power using device is also defined. The
communications may be used to coordinate the power delivery and provide
identification between the power adapter and the
power using device. While intended for portable computing and entertainment
devices, this standard may also be used with other mobile devices in use
around the office, home or vehicle.
The UPAMDTM standard creates
a common interconnect for power delivery in the 10W to <240W power range
to portable and fixed devices. This standard supports more universal use and
reuse of power adapters replacing brand specific and model specific power
adapters. The UPAMDTM adapter system may be usable in portable
computing and entertainment systems, security, household and office
equipment within the power range. Universality and reuse are among the
primary driving factors. Communications may support
the adaption of the powered device performance to the power available.
