Overview
A working group has been chartered with creating specifications that define limits as well as detection, control and reporting mechanisms to permit devices to draw current in excess of the USB 2.0 specification for charging and/or powering up from dedicated chargers, hosts, hubs and charging downstream ports. These mechanisms are backward compatible with USB 2.0 compliant hosts and peripherals. The USB ports on personal computers are convenient places for Portable Devices (PDs) to draw current for charging their batteries. This convenience has led to the creation of USB Chargers that simply expose a USB standard-A receptacle. This allows PDs to use the same USB cable to charge from either a PC or from a USB Charger. The responsible committee is DKE/K 742 "Audio-, Video- und Multimediasysteme, -geräte und -komponenten" ("Audio, video and multimedia systems, equipment and components") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
