For portable consumer electronics, USB (Universal Serial Bus) has become the most popular and pervasive connectivity technology. As the adoption of this standard has grown, USB connected devices have begun to cover a broader range of hardware applications. The trend toward using USB’s power capabilities to charge batteries on portable devices has resulted in a demand for industrystandard approaches and has led to new specifications being published by the USB-IF (USB Implementers Forum). With the introduction of several new and proposed technologies such as USB Charger, manufacturers are faced with a challenge as well as an opportunity. The challenge is the need to meet all of the new USB specifications and still keep costs low. The opportunity is to improve the consumer experience through faster charging speed and universal charging.
