In an example embodiment of the present application, the protocol module 122 is connected to the processor 140 and the adapter 110, and configured to transmit an attribute signal to the adapter 110 according to a preset protocol, so that the adapter 110 can adjust an output signal according to the attribute information, and simultaneously feed back a transmission completion signal of the attribute information to the processor 140, so that the processor 140 controls the charging controller 120 to generate a closing control signal according to the transmission completion signal, where the protocol module 122 may be implemented by a digital circuit state machine.

In the present exemplary embodiment, the battery 160 is a secondary battery 160, which can be recharged using the charging voltage provided by the adapter 110, and the battery 160 can also be formed by at least one battery 160 cell having a specific electronic voltage and capable of outputting a voltage. The battery 160 supplies data information about the battery 160, which may be included in the above-described attribute information, and the data information may include a full charge bit of the battery 160, a full charge capacity of the battery 160, and the like.

In the present exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the protocol module 122 may be connected to the processor 140 through a data transmission line 420 and an interrupt line 410; the protocol module 122 may be connected to the adapter 110 via a universal serial bus. The data transmission line 420 may be an I2C bus, an SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) bus, or an SPMI bus, which is not specifically limited in this exemplary embodiment

Specifically, referring to fig. 5, step S510 may be executed first, the processor 140 sends a handshake signal, when the protocol module 122 receives the handshake signal sent by the processor 140, that is, it indicates that the charging interface is connected to the device to be charged, at this time, step S520 may be executed, the protocol module 122 may be adjusted to an IDLE state (IDLE state) to prepare DATA transmission, and at the same time, the handshake signal is sent to the adapter 110, the adapter 110 receives the handshake signal and then sends a protocol sending instruction, after the protocol module 122 receives the protocol sending instruction, step S530 may be executed, the protocol module 122 jumps to a DATA receiving state (RECV _ DATA state), and then the adapter 110 sends protocol content, where the protocol content may be DATA to be received, that is, the DATA to be received includes one or more of the above attribute information, and the number of bits of the DATA to be received may also be in the protocol content, for example, 8-bit data, 9-bit data, etc. are received, and the protocol module includes a received data counting function in receiving the attribute information.

After the protocol module 122 receives the protocol content, step S550 may be executed, in which the protocol module 122 jumps to a WAIT for DATA transmission state (WAIT _ TX _ DATA state) and transmits a DATA acquisition instruction to the processor 140; after receiving the data acquisition instruction, the processor 140 sends the attribute information to the protocol module 122 according to the data acquisition instruction, where the attribute information includes all attribute information required in the protocol content, such as the current of the battery 160, the temperature of the battery 160, and the like. After the protocol module 122 receives the attribute information, step S360 may be performed, in which the protocol module 122 jumps to a DATA transmission state (SEND _ DATA state), then transmits the attribute information to the adapter 110, and then jumps to an IDLE state (IDLE state).

In the present exemplary embodiment, when the protocol module 122 does not receive the attribute information sent by the processor 140, or the received attribute information is incomplete, that is, when data reception is in error, step S540 may be executed to jump the protocol module 122 to the off state (DISABLE state), where when the received attribute information is incomplete, for example, the data that needs to be acquired in the protocol content may include the voltage, the current, and the temperature of the battery 160, but the received attribute information includes only the voltage and the current of the battery 160, and there is no temperature information, and it is determined that the received attribute information is incomplete at this time. For another example, the data that needs to be received in the protocol content is 8-bit data, but the attribute information received by the protocol module 122 is not enough for 8-bit data, such as 6-bit data, 7-bit data, etc., step S540 may be executed to jump the protocol module 122 to the off state (DISABLE state).

In the present exemplary embodiment, when the protocol module 122 transmits the attribute information to the adapter 110, it is detected whether a transmission completion signal, that is, an electrical signal is the same level signal for a certain time, for example, a low level signal for 50 milliseconds, a high level signal for 40 milliseconds, or the like, has occurred when the attribute information is transmitted. The certain time may be 50 milliseconds, 40 milliseconds, 60 milliseconds, or the like, or may be customized according to user requirements, and the same level signal may be a high level signal or a low level signal, which is not specifically limited in this exemplary embodiment.

When the occurrence of the transmission completion signal is detected, indicating that the data transmission is normal and the data transmission is completed, step S560 may be executed to transfer the protocol module 122 to an IDLE state (IDLE state) and wait for the next round of data reception. If the transmission completion signal is not received after the data transmission is completed, that is, the protocol module 122 is still transmitting data after the data with the corresponding bit number is transmitted, and it is determined that the transmission attribute information is abnormal at this time, step S540 may be executed to jump the protocol module 122 to the off state (DISABLE state).

In this example embodiment, the protocol module 122 may receive a shutdown signal sent by the processor 140, and directly jump the protocol module 122 to a shutdown state (DISABLE state). While the protocol module 122 is in the off state (IDLE state), the protocol module 122 may be transitioned to the IDLE state (IDLE state) in response to an enable signal sent by the processor 140.

In the present exemplary embodiment, if there is no abnormality in the transmission process of the attribute information, that is, the adapter 110 receives complete attribute information, the protocol module 122 sends an attribute information transmission completion signal to the processor 140, and the processor 140 controls the charging controller 120 to generate a closing control signal, and if the protocol module 122 is in a closing state (disabled state), the protocol module 122 generates a transmission failure signal of the attribute information, and the processor 140 generates a closing control signal according to the transmission failure signal, and stops charging to prevent the battery 160 from being damaged by an excessively high output voltage of the adapter 110.

In the present exemplary embodiment, the second path of the first USB switch 190 is connected to the second USB switch 123 disposed inside the charging controller 120, the second USB switch 123 may also be a shunt switch, and is respectively connected to the protocol module 122 and the charging type determining module 124, and when the charging type determining module 124 determines that the USB interface is connected to the adapter 110, the second USB switch 123 is connected to the protocol module 122, so as to complete the communication between the adapter 110 and the processor 140.

In the present exemplary embodiment, the charging controller 120 may be configured to convert the output signal of the adapter 110 into a preset input signal and transmit the battery 160 when the adapter 110 is not suitable for the processor 140, that is, when the processor 140 cannot transmit the attribute information to the adapter 110 through the protocol module 122, where the preset input signal may be an electrical signal of 5V and 2A, or may be set according to the difference between the adapter 110 and the battery 160, for example, the preset input signal is set to 5V and 1.5A, which is not limited in the present exemplary embodiment.

The charging controller 120 can ensure that the processor 140 cannot transmit the attribute information to the adapter 110, and can also continue to charge the battery 160, and ensure the charging safety.

In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the charging controller 120 may further include a driving signal generating module, configured to receive an instruction of the processor 140 and generate a closing control signal or a closing control signal, where the driving signal generating module may be a charge pump 121, and configured to control the charge pump 121 to generate the closing and controlling signal when the processor 140 receives a transmission completion signal of the attribute information; the protection module 180 is turned on, and thus the output signal can be transmitted to the battery 160 through the protection module 180. Or when the processor 140 receives the attribute information transmission failure signal, the processor 140 controls the charge pump 121 to generate an off control signal, so that the protection module 180 cannot pass current to protect the battery 160.

In the present exemplary embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the protection module 180 may include at least one switching transistor, for example, two, three, etc., which are not specifically limited in the present exemplary embodiment, wherein the switching transistors each have a control terminal, a first terminal, and a second terminal.

The switching element may control the switching element to turn on in response to a closing control signal and turn off the switching element upon receiving a turn-off control signal.

In the present exemplary embodiment, as shown with reference to fig. 6, the adapter 110 is supplied with commercial AC (alternating current) power, converts the commercial AC power into DC (direct current) power of a predetermined voltage level, and supplies the DC power to the battery 160 described above.

The AC/DC converter 111 may selectively convert the input AC power into a DC power Va of a specific level corresponding to a plurality of voltage levels according to a signal provided by the controller 112 and output the DC power. The DC power output from the AC/DC converter 111 is output to the battery 160.

The controller 112 determines the output signals, i.e. the output voltage and the output current, of the AC/DC converter 111 from the electronic voltage and the attribute information obtained from the protocol module 122.

Referring to fig. 7, the adaptor 110 includes: a controller 112 and an AC/DC converter 111. Wherein, the controller 112 is used for receiving the attribute information of the battery 160 to determine the output signal controller 112. For example, it can be implemented by a separate microcontrol Unit (MCU).

The AC/DC converter 111 is connected to the controller 112, and adjusts the output voltage of the adapter 110 according to the control of the controller 112.

In addition, as shown in fig. 7, the adapter 110 may further include a rectifying circuit R1 and a voltage conversion module S1. Among them, the rectifier circuit R1 is used to convert an alternating-current voltage received from an AC into a direct-current voltage, such as a pulsating direct-current voltage.

The present application is not limited to a specific circuit configuration of the rectifier circuit R1, and the rectifier circuit R1 may be, for example, a commonly used rectifier bridge or another circuit that can achieve the above-described function of converting an ac voltage into a dc voltage.

In summary, in the exemplary embodiment, it is not necessary to use an independent MCU to complete data processing, and only a protocol module 122 is integrated on one side of the low charging point controller 112 to complete communication, and the data processing process is executed by the processor 140 in the device to be charged, so that the complexity of the power supply apparatus is simplified, the cost is reduced, and the occupied area of the power supply apparatus is reduced.

Further, the present application also provides a power supply method, and as shown in fig. 8, the power supply method includes the following steps:

step S810, receiving attribute information of the battery through a processor;

step S820, transmitting the attribute information to an adapter through a protocol module according to a preset protocol so that the adapter can adjust an output signal according to the attribute information, and feeding back a transmission completion signal of the attribute information to a processor so that the processor controls a charging controller to generate a closing control signal according to the transmission completion signal;

step S830, transmitting the output signal to the battery through a protection module in response to the closing control signal.

The specific details of each step in the above method have been described in detail in the embodiment of the apparatus part, and the details that are not disclosed can be referred to the embodiment of the apparatus part, and thus are not described again.

In an example embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 9, transmitting the attribute information to the adapter according to a preset protocol may include steps S910 to S950, which are specifically as follows:

step S910, receiving a handshake signal sent by the processor, and adjusting the protocol module to an idle state;

step S920, receiving a protocol sending instruction sent by the adapter, and adjusting the protocol module to a data receiving state;

step S930, when receiving the protocol content sent by the adapter, adjusting the protocol module to a waiting data sending state, and sending a data obtaining instruction like the processor

Step S940, receiving the attribute information sent by the processor according to the data acquisition instruction, and adjusting the protocol module to a data sending state;

step S950, sending the attribute information to the adapter, and adjusting the protocol module to an idle state.

Specifically, the processor 140 sends a handshake signal, and when the protocol module 122 receives the handshake signal sent by the processor 140, i.e., indicating that the charging interface has been connected to the device to be charged, at this point, the protocol module 122 may be adjusted to an IDLE state (IDLE state) in preparation for data transfer, meanwhile, the handshake signal is sent to the adapter 110, and the adapter 110 receives the handshake signal and then sends a protocol sending instruction, after the protocol module 122 receives the protocol send command, the protocol module 122 jumps to the DATA receive state (RECV _ DATA state), the adapter 110 then sends the protocol content, which may be the data that needs to be received, i.e. the data to be received includes one or more of the above attribute information, the number of bits of the data to be received may also be in the protocol content, for example, 8-bit data, 9-bit data, etc. are received, and the protocol module 122 includes a received data counting function in the received attribute information.

After the protocol module 122 receives the protocol content, the protocol module 122 jumps to a WAIT for DATA transmission state (WAIT _ TX _ DATA state) and transmits a DATA acquisition instruction to the processor 140; after receiving the data acquisition instruction, the processor 140 sends the attribute information to the protocol module 122 according to the data acquisition instruction, where the attribute information includes all attribute information required in the protocol content, such as the current of the battery 160, the temperature of the battery 160, and the like. After the protocol module 122 receives the attribute information, the protocol module 122 jumps to a DATA transmission state (SEND _ DATA state), then transmits the attribute information to the adapter 110, and then jumps to an IDLE state (IDLE state).

In this exemplary embodiment, referring to fig. 10, the method further includes steps S1010 to S1020, and specifically, if the adapter 110 does not receive the attribute information, feeding back a transmission failure signal of the attribute information to the processor 140 so that the processor 140 controls the charge controller 120 to generate a shutdown control signal according to the transmission completion signal, where the following situations may be specifically included, where when the protocol module 122 does not receive the attribute information sent by the processor 140, or when the received attribute information is incomplete, that is, when data reception is wrong, the protocol module 122 jumps to a shutdown state (DISABLE state), where when the received attribute information is incomplete, for example, data that needs to be obtained in the protocol content includes voltage, current, and temperature of the battery 160, but the received attribute information includes only voltage and current of the battery 160, if there is no temperature information, it is determined that the received attribute information is incomplete. For another example, the data that needs to be received in the protocol content is 8-bit data, but the attribute information received by the protocol module 122 is not enough 8-bit data, for example, 6-bit data, 7-bit data, and the protocol module 122 jumps to the off state (DISABLE state).

When the sending completion signal is detected to be present, indicating that the data sending is normal and the data sending is completed, the protocol module 122 is turned to an IDLE state (IDLE state) to wait for the next round of data receiving. If the transmission completion signal is not received after the data transmission is completed, that is, after the data of the corresponding bit number is transmitted, the protocol module 122 is still transmitting the data, and it is determined that the transmission attribute information is abnormal at this time, the protocol module 122 is transitioned to the closed state (DISABLE state).
