Abstract: A smart battery device includes a battery unit, a temperature-sensing unit and a processing unit. The temperature-sensing unit senses the ambient temperature to generate a temperature signal. The processing unit is coupled to the battery unit and the temperature-sensing unit. In a charging mode, the processing unit receives the temperature signal and obtains the power capacity of the battery unit. The processing unit sets full capacity according to the temperature signal and generates an indication flag when the power capacity of the battery unit reaches the full capacity, wherein the indication flag is used to indicate that the battery unit is in a fully charged state.

Abstract: A host device, coupled to a slave device through a bus interface, includes a frequency detector, a jitter detector, and a signal processing circuit. The frequency detector receives a first work frequency, and determines whether the first work frequency is the same as a second work frequency of the slave device. The jitter detector receives a first clock signal, and determines whether a jitter difference corresponding to the first clock signal exceeds a predetermined range. The signal processing unit includes a clock signal input pin, a data input pin, and an output pin. When the first work frequency is the same as the second work frequency, and the jitter difference is within the predetermined range, the signal processing circuit outputs a data signal to the slave device according to the first clock signal, data and Seems System Management Bus protocol.
