    Abstract: A circuit for detecting charger connection through a universal serial bus (UBS) connector is disclosed. The circuit includes a comparator having a first input coupled to a fixed voltage reference and a second input coupled to D+ pin of the USB connector, a voltage controlled current source (VCCS) coupled having a first terminal coupled to a supply and a second terminal coupled to the D+ pin and a resistor coupled between the first terminal and the second terminal of the VCCS. The VCCS is configured to bring voltage at the D+ pin within a preselected voltage range at the D+ pin when the voltage at the D+ pin varies beyond the preselected voltage range.

    Abstract: A protocol can specifie a power-sourcing voltage range that indicates power sourcing capabilities. Additional power sourcing capabilities can be communicated using voltage variations within the power-sourcing voltage range. A power-sourcing device can provide power to an external power-sinking device over a wired connection containing a plurality of wires. A voltage control circuit can be configured to drive a voltage over a wire of the plurality of wires. Processing circuitry can communicate, using the voltage control circuit, first power-sourcing capabilities to the external power-sinking device by setting the voltage over the wire to a value within the power-sourcing voltage range. The processing circuitry can also communicate, using the voltage control circuit, the additional power sourcing capabilities of the power-sourcing device using voltage variations on the wire, the voltage variations maintaining voltage on the wire within the power-sourcing voltage range.

    Abstract: A system including a device that is configured to communicate current sourcing capabilities to an external power source over a wired connection containing a plurality of wires. The device includes a power supply circuit configured to provide operating power for the device. A first pull-down circuit is configured to provide a pull-down for a particular wire of the wired connection using a first resistive element that is actively trimmed using the operating power. A second pull-down circuit includes at least one transistor that, in the absence of the operating power, is configured to enable a current path, in response to a gate voltage generated from a voltage on the particular wire, between the particular wire and a second resistive element.
