Abstract: A voltage matching circuit receives a first voltage received by a connector, and outputs a second voltage. The second voltage is equal to the first voltage, if the first voltage is less than a threshold voltage. The second voltage is equal to the first voltage divided by a first factor, if the first voltage is greater than or equal to the threshold voltage.

Abstract: A method selects one or a plurality of sets of values characterizing an electric power of a power source capable of powering a device coupled to the power source via a connection interface. The selection is carried out according to values, characterizing the power supplied by the power source, measured at the connection interface.

Abstract: A device can be used for managing for managing the supply voltage on an output power supply pin of a USB Type-C source device that includes an AC-to-DC power converter for delivering the supply voltage. The source device is capable of supplying power to a receiver device. A power supply controller includes a first circuit configured to deliver a signal for discharging a capacitive network coupled to the power converter and also includes a second circuit configured to deliver, at the same time as the discharge signal, a new setpoint signal, corresponding to the new voltage delivered, to a control input of the power converter. A delay element is coupled between an output of the second circuit and the control input.

Abstract: A USB source device, supporting USB Power Delivery mode and coupled to a USB receiver device, includes a power converter delivering a supply voltage and a capacitive network coupled to the power converter. A method for managing the supply voltage on an output power supply pin of the USB source device includes discharging the capacitive network so as to reduce the supply voltage in response to a request to reduce the supply voltage by the USB receiver device to a target voltage. The method also includes delivering, to the power converter, a setpoint voltage for the supply voltage, a value of the setpoint voltage being reduced non-linearly so as to keep a temporal variation of the setpoint voltage lower than that of the supply voltage.

Abstract: A method can be used for managing a power supply voltage on an output power supply pin of a USB Type-C source device coupled to a USB Type-C receiver device via a USB Type-C cable. A first measurement of a first voltage on a channel configuration pin of the cable is performed when the receiver device is not powered and a second measurement of a second voltage on the channel configuration pin is performed when the receiver device is powered. A difference between the first and second voltages is calculated and the power supply voltage is modified as a function of a value of the difference.
