Abstract

See full text

A system for controlling whether a battery powered device tethered to a host via a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface will charge its battery via the USB connection. A USB interface adapter is programmed to control charging of the device battery based on whether a standard data terminal ready (DTR) signal is received from the host through a USB to RS-232 converter. Data packets are sent via the USB data line and interpreted as a DTR signal by the USB to Serial adapter. The dedicated DTR output pin from the adapter is thus used to control the charging circuit.
