Detailed Description
The positional relationship described in the following embodiments includes: the top, bottom, left and right, unless otherwise indicated, are based on the orientation of the elements in the drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is an external view of an embodiment of a computer peripheral component according to the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, a computer peripheral component 1 can be connected to a host device 2, and the computer peripheral component 1 includes a transmission line 12 and a peripheral device 11. In one embodiment, the peripheral device 11 is a mouse and the main device 2 is a notebook computer, but the present application is not limited thereto, and the peripheral device 11 may be a joystick or a keyboard, and the main device 2 may be a personal computer or a tablet computer.
The peripheral device 11 has a power storage function (i.e., the peripheral device 11 can be charged), and the peripheral device 11 has a fast charging mode in which the charging speed is fast and a general charging mode in which the charging speed is slow. The transmission line 12 is electrically connected between the peripheral device 11 and the host device 2, and the transmission line 12 can transmit the charging current provided by the host device 2 to the peripheral device 11. When the transmission line 12 electrically connects the host device 2 and the peripheral device 11, the peripheral device 11 determines the charging current received from the host device 2 to be a first charging current or a second charging current, wherein the current value of the first charging current is greater than the current value of the second charging current. When the peripheral device 11 determines that the first charging current is received from the host device 2, the peripheral device 11 performs the charging operation in the fast charging mode according to the first charging current, i.e., the time required for charging the peripheral device 11 to the full state is short. When the peripheral device 11 determines that the host device 2 receives the second charging current, the peripheral device 11 performs its charging operation in the normal charging mode according to the second charging current, i.e. the time required for the peripheral device 11 to be charged to the full state is longer.
Please refer to fig. 1 and fig. 2. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an embodiment of a computer peripheral component 1 according to the present application. The peripheral device 11 includes a connection port 111, an impedance component 112, and a control circuit 113. The connection port 111 is used for connecting the transmission line 12. The impedance device 112 has two ends respectively coupled to the connection port 111 and the voltage source VDD, and the impedance device 112 can be coupled to the transmission line 12 through the connection port 111. A connection point C is provided between the impedance device 112 and the connection port 111, and the control circuit 113 is connected to the connection point C to couple the impedance device 112 and the connection port 111. When the connection port 111 is connected to the host device 2 via the transmission line 12, the control circuit 113 determines whether the voltage value of the connection point C meets a predetermined condition according to the voltage value of the connection point C, that is, the control circuit 113 determines whether the transmission line 12 connected to the peripheral device 11 meets a predetermined type capable of carrying a larger charging current according to the voltage value of the connection point C. When the voltage value of the connection point C meets the predetermined condition, the control circuit 113 determines that the transmission line 12 can carry a predetermined type of a large charging current, and the control circuit 113 determines that the charging current received by the connection port 111 from the host device 2 is a first charging current having a large current value, so that the peripheral device 11 performs a charging operation in a fast charging mode; when the voltage value of the connection point C does not meet the predetermined condition, the control circuit 113 determines that the transmission line 12 connected to the peripheral device 11 cannot carry a predetermined type of a larger charging current, and the control circuit 113 determines that the charging current received by the connection port 111 from the host device 2 is a second charging current having a smaller current value, so that the peripheral device 11 performs a charging operation in a normal charging mode, thereby avoiding the problem that the transmission line 12 is overloaded due to the fact that the transmission line 12 cannot carry the charging current having the larger current value, which causes an abnormally high temperature or damage to the transmission line 12, and even causes the damage to the peripheral device 11.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the transmission line 12 includes two connection ports 122 and 121 (for convenience of description, hereinafter referred to as a first connection port 121 and a second connection port 122, and the connection port 111 of the peripheral device 11 is referred to as a third connection port 111 and the connection port 21 of the host device 2 is referred to as a fourth connection port 21), and the two connection ports 122 and 121 are connected to each other via a conductive line of the transmission line 12. In an embodiment, the first connection port 121 is used for connecting the third connection port 111, the second connection port 122 is used for connecting the fourth connection port 21, the second connection port 122 can receive the aforementioned first charging current or second charging current from the main device 2 through the fourth connection port 21 and transmit the same to the first connection port 121, and the third connection port 111 is used for receiving the first charging current or second charging current from the first connection port 121.
Furthermore, the transmission line 12 includes an impedance element 123 (hereinafter, the impedance element 123 of the transmission line 12 is referred to as a first impedance element 123 and the impedance element 112 of the peripheral device 11 is referred to as a second impedance element 112), and the first impedance element 123 is located at the first connection port 121. When the second connection port 122 is connected to the fourth connection port 21 and the first connection port 121 is connected to the third connection port 111, the second impedance element 112 of the peripheral device 11 is coupled to the first impedance element 123 of the transmission line 12 through the third connection port 111, and the second impedance element 112 and the first impedance element 123 are coupled to the ground terminal of the host device 2 through the second connection port 122 and the fourth connection port 21. Thus, the second impedance element 112 and the first impedance element 123 form a voltage dividing line between the voltage source VDD and the ground in the host device 2. The control circuit 113 determines the charging current to be a first charging current with a larger current value or a second charging current with a smaller current value according to the voltage dividing signal generated by the voltage dividing line. In detail, based on the voltage value of the voltage source VDD and the impedance values of the second impedance element 112 and the first impedance element 123, the connection point C on the voltage dividing line generates a voltage dividing signal, and the control circuit 113 determines whether the voltage value of the voltage dividing signal meets the predetermined condition. When the control circuit 113 determines that the voltage value of the divided voltage signal meets the predetermined condition, it indicates that the two connection ports 122 and 121 of the transmission line 12 can carry the charging current with a larger current value. At this time, when the control circuit 113 determines that the voltage value of the divided voltage signal does not meet the predetermined condition, it indicates that the two connection ports 122 and 121 of the transmission line 12 cannot carry the charging current with a larger current value.
Therefore, no matter the transmission line 12 does not include the first impedance element 123 and does not form the voltage value of the divided voltage signal generated by the connection point C due to the voltage dividing line, or the transmission line 12 includes the first impedance element 123 and does not form the voltage dividing line, the control circuit 113 can determine that the two connection ports 122 and 121 cannot carry the charging current with a larger current value, the control circuit 113 determines that the main device 2 receives the second charging current, and the peripheral device 11 is in the normal charging mode. When the transmission line 12 includes the first impedance element 123 and the impedance value of the first impedance element 123 makes the voltage value generated at the connection point C meet the predetermined condition, the control circuit 113 determines that the main device 2 receives the first charging current, and the peripheral device 11 is in the fast charging mode.
In one embodiment, the voltage source VDD has a voltage value of 3.3V, the second impedance element 112 and the first impedance element 123 are resistors, respectively, and the second impedance element 112 and the first impedance element 123 have the same resistance value, for example, the resistance values of the second impedance element 112 and the first impedance element 123 may be 1M Ω (ohm). Therefore, according to the voltage division law, the predetermined condition may be 1.65V, or the predetermined condition may be a voltage range, for example, ± 10% of 1.65V, so that the predetermined condition is in the range of 1.48V to 1.81V, and the control circuit 113 may determine whether the voltage value of the connection point C is 1.65V or 1.48V to 1.81V.
In an embodiment, the second connection port 122 and the first connection port 121 of the transmission line 12 conform to the same specification of USB3.0 or more, for example, the second connection port 122 and the first connection port 121 both conform to the specification of USB3.0 Type a, or the second connection port 122 and the first connection port 121 both conform to the specification of USB Type-C. In another embodiment, the second connection port 122 and the first connection port 121 may also conform to different specifications of USB3.0 or more, for example, the second connection port 122 conforms to the specification of USB3.0 Type a, and the first connection port 121 conforms to the specification of USB Type-C. Therefore, when the voltage value of the connection point C meets the predetermined condition, the current value of the first charging current determined by the control circuit 113 is 900mA because the second connection port 122 and the first connection port 121 meet the specification of USB3.0 or more, and when the voltage value of the connection point C does not meet the predetermined condition, the current value of the second charging current determined by the control circuit 113 is 500mA based on the specification of USB3.0 or less, for example, the specification of USB 2.0.

Taking the aforementioned preset condition as 1.65V as an example, when the voltage value of the voltage source VDD is 3.3V and the impedance elements 112 and 123 have the same impedance value, the control circuit 113 determines that the voltage value of the connection point C meets the preset condition according to the voltage value of the connection point C, and the control circuit 113 determines that the main device 2 draws the first charging current with a larger current value.
