Description / Abstract:
IEEE Std 1823-2015 defines a power delivery connection between a
power adapter and a power using device greater than 10 W and up to,
but less than 240 W.1 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, power adapters conforming to this standard
may also be used with other devices.
Purpose
IEEE Std 1823-2015 creates a common interconnect for power
delivery greater than 10 W and up to, but less than, 240 W 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 IEEE 1823 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.
