`
`FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`
`The present invention is generally related to power adapt-
`ers, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for
`determining the type of external power adapter and modi-
`fying operating characteristics based upon the external
`power adapter type.
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`In a portable, battery-powered device such as a cellular
`telephone, an external power input is usually provided so
`that the user can operate the device from a primary source
`of power such as house current or a vehicle’s power source
`in order to conserve battery power. It is also desirable to
`have a battery charger internal to the device for recharging
`the unit’s battery pack, which may be internal or external to
`the device. The device and its internal battery charger
`require a power supply or adapter external to the device to
`supply the proper voltage and current needed by the device
`to charge the internal battery or power the device.
`Further, there are often a variety of external power sup—
`plies. For example, a high power version may be offered for
`fast charging the battery, while a low cost,
`low power
`version may be offered for slow charging the battery.
`Because the operation of the internal charger will differ
`depending on which external adapter is connected,
`the
`device must sense which type of external power adapter is
`present.
`there is a need to provide a means for
`Accordingly,
`detecting the type of external power adapter which is
`connected to a device, and modify the operation of the
`apparatus as a function of the type of power adapter and
`battery. The invention leads to greater system flexibility and
`improved performance with all
`types of external power
`supplies.

`
`DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED
`EMBODIMENT
`
`The present invention provides a method and apparatus
`for determining an external power adapter type. FIG. 1
`generally shows a device having an external power adapter
`used to provide power to the device, as well as charging
`current for a battery which is regulated by the internal
`battery charger. A microcontroller in the device regulates the
`‘ charging current to the battery. The microcontroller prefer-
`
`ably contains an AID converter which is connected to a
`pull-up resistor internal to the device, and to a pull-down
`resistor in the external power adapter. The power adapter is
`essentially a regulated power supply which may be con-
`nected to a primary source of power such as the AC line, or
`to a 12 VDC supply in an automotive application.
`The external power adapter may be of a high current, high
`power type capable of fast charging the battery, or alterna-
`tively, it may be of a low current type which is only capable
`of slow charging the battery. By changing the value of the
`pull-down resistor in the external power adapter to identify
`the external power adapter type, the microcontroller in the
`apparatus may determine the optimum charging profile to
`use for the battery based upon the charger type and other
`information relating to the battery.
`Referring specifically to the elements shown in FIG. 1, a
`portable device 10 has an attached external power adapter 12
`which is powered by way of line 13. Portable device 10 also
`includes a battery 14 which could be either internal or
`external to the portable device. By way of example, the
`portable device 10 could a portable cellular telephone hav-
`ing a transmitter 16 and a receiver 18. However, it will
`understood that any other device, portable or fixed, adapted
`to receive external power could employ the apparatus and
`method of the present invention. Transmitter 16 is controlled
`by a microcontroller 20 having an analog-to-digital con-
`verter 21. Portable device 10 also includes a battery charger
`22. Transmitter 16, receiver 18, and battery charger 22 are all
`powered by a line 24 from external adapter 12.
`Generally, battery 14 will include a sensing element such
`as a resistor, thermistor, open circuit, short circuit or other
`element which may provide auxiliary sensing capability.
`Operationally, batteries of difierent types exhibit different
`“end of life” voltage characteristics and eifective series
`resistances. Since different types of batteries can be inter-
`changeably used to provide power for the same equipment
`(i.e. for a Cellular Portable Telephone), knowledge of the
`type of battery may be useful to the equipment in establish-
`ing operating parameters such as transmitter output power or
`a “low battery” warning condition. Battery types that can be
`charged should be charged at differing rates and with dif-
`fering conditions. Also, non-rechargeable battery types
`should not be subjected to recharging attempts.
`A portable telephone having battery charger which
`accepts all battery types ideally should adapt the rate of
`charge (charge current) and the types of charge controls used
`in accordance with the battery type. It is known for a device
`to automatically recognize the battery type which is to be
`charged and adapt
`its charging parameters accordingly.
`Applicants herein incorporate by reference U.S. Pat. No.
`5,164,652 entitled “Method and Apparatus for Determining
`Battery Type and Modifying Operating Characteristics”,
`invented by Robert M. Johnson and Michael P. Metroka and
`assigned to Motorola, Inc. assignees of the present inven-
`tion. U.S. Pat. No. 5,164,652 describes a battery type
`detector for battery—using and battery-charging equipment.
`The U.S. Pat. No. 5,164,652 also discloses modifying
`operational characteristics of the equipment in accordance
`with the battery-type detected. A battery sense line 26 and a
`voltage sense line 28 coupled from the battery to microcon-
`troller 20 provide the necessary information to optimize
`battery charging according to U.S. Pat. No. 5,164,652.
`Microcontroller 20 contains predetermined information
`about the battery type and will establish the rate and type of
`charge controls to provide an optimum rate of charge for a
`rechargeable battery while not charging a non-chargeable

`While an AID converter is preferably employed to deter-
`mine the type of external power adapter, a logic circuit
`similar to that shown in FIG. 3 of U.S. Pat. No. 5,164,652,
`which is incorporated by reference, could alternatively be
`employed to determine the type of external adapter within
`the scope of the present invention.
`Turning now to FIG. 2, a flow chart shows the operation
`of a device having an external power adapter according to
`the present invention. When the device is operated at a step
`50, the presence of an external adapter is determined at step
`52. If no external power adapter is present, the device is
`powered by the battery at a step 53. If an external power
`adapter is present, the type of adapter is determined at step
`54. The method for determining the external battery type
`will described in detail in reference to FIG. 3, and can be
`accomplished by the apparatus of FIG. 1.
`Regardless of whether an external power adapter is
`present or not, the battery type is determined at step 56. This
`can be accomplished by the apparatus and methods
`described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,164,652. Finally, at a step 58,
`the telephone is powered by the battery (or adapter if
`present), or the battery is optimally charged by the adapter,
`if present, based upon the type of battery and type of external
`power adapter attached to the device. That is, the charging
`parameters are modified according to the type of battery and
`the capability of the charger according to U.S. Pat. No.
`5,164,652. The method for powering/charging a portable
`device having an external power adapter according to the
`present invention is described in detail in reference to FIG.
`4.
`
`Turning now to FIG. 3, a flow chart shows the method for
`determining external power adapter type according to the
`present
`invention. A voltage divider network is created
`between the external power adapter and the portable device
`at a step 62. The voltage divider network can be provided
`according to the present invention by coupling a first resistor
`in the external power adapter to a second resistor in the
`portable device, as shown for example in the apparatus of
`FIG. 1. At a step 64, a voltage generated by the voltage
`divider is provided to a microcontroller or some other
`control circuit in the portable device. Preferably, the voltage
`is then converted to a digital equivalent in an A/D converter
`in the microcontroller at a step 66. The digital conversion is
`then compared to a voltage lookup table in the microcon-
`troller at a step 68 to determined the external power adapter
`type. While an analog to digital conversion is preferred, the
`analog signal could alternatively be compared to values in a
`look-up table.
`Turning now to FIG. 4, a flow chart shows the method for
`powering/charging a portable device having an external
`power adapter according to the present invention. At a step
`72, if the external adapter is not a charger, the external power
`adapter will only power the portable device at a step 74. If
`the adapter is a charger,
`the telephone will determine
`whether the device is in use at a step 78. For example, with
`a portable cellular telephone, it will be determined whether
`the telephone is in an “off hook” condition. If the device is

`battery type. The microprocessor recalls from its internal
`memory the charging characteristics of the particular battery
`type. The battery terminal voltage is sensed by conventional
`voltage detection techniques and input to microprocessor 20
`where it is compared with the battery terminal voltage
`charge characteristic curve recalled from storage. The appro-
`priate amount of current is allowed to enter the battery
`terminals as determined by microprocessor and the external
`power adapter.
`An external power sense line 30 is coupled from external
`power adapter 12 to portable device 10 at microcontroller
`20. Portable device 10 includes a pull-up resistor 32 coupled
`to the external power sense line 30. Similarly, external
`power adapter 12 includes a pull-down resistor 34 (type—
`detection resistor) which is also coupled to external power
`sense line 30. The pull-up resistor 32 and the pull—down
`resistor 34 form a voltage divider network which generates
`a voltage identifying the type of external power adapter
`In the preferred embodiment, the device is compatible
`with older power supplies which do not contain a type
`detection resistor. Older power supplies do not contain the
`necessary voltage tracking circuit, or may not provide suf-
`ficient voltage to charge the attached battery under all
`conditions. The device may determine that an older power
`supply is connected by recognizing the lack of a type
`detection resistor. In this case, the input to AID circuit 21 is
`pulled to +V by pull-up resistor 32, and thus the microcon-
`troller is able to detect the lack of pull-down resistor 34 in
`the external adapter. Thus, the microcontroller may disable
`the internal charger to prevent charging with older power
`supplies.
`As shown in the following Table 1, different external
`power supplies which could be attached to the device are
`listed. Generally, the charger type is listed in the second
`column. Also, as shown in the third column, an external
`adapter could be attached to a device which is in a test mode.
`The preferred value for resistor 34 is listed in column 4.

`While five different external power adapters are listed in
`Table 1, any number of adapters could be used within the
`scope of the present invention.
`As shown in Table 2, an example of the AID conversion
`is shown for a device adapted to receive 5 external power
`adapters. The associated voltage value generated by a resis-
`tor 32 (having a value of 10K) and a resistor 3 (having a
`value listed in Column 2) is listed in column 3. While the
`A/D count range and guard band are given by way of
`example, other ranges and guard bands could be used.
`Alternatively, a different number of input devices could be
`employed and different resistor values, voltages, A/D count
`range and guard bands could be established.

`
`in use, the external adapter will only power the device at a
`step 78. However, if the device is not in use, the device will
`determine whether the charger is a fast charger or a slow
`charger at a step 80. This can be determined according to the
`apparatus (FIG. 1) and method (FIG. 3) described above. If
`the device is not in use and the device is a not a fast charger,
`the external adapter will slow charge the battery at step 82.
`If the device is not in use and the device is a fast charger, the
`external adapter will fast charge the battery at a step 84.
`However, it will be understood that a power adapter could
`charge a battery while powering the device.
`In summary, the present invention provides a method and
`apparatus for determining an external power adapter type
`and preferably modifying the charging of the internal battery
`based upon the external power adapter type and battery
`information. The device has an external power adapter used
`to provide power to the device, as well as charging current
`for the battery which is regulated by the internal battery
`charger. The power adapter is essentially a regulated power
`supply which may be connected to the AC line, or to 12
`VDC supply in an automotive application. The external
`power adapter may be of a high current, high power type
`capable of fast charging the battery pack, or alternatively, it
`may be of a low current type which is only capable of slow
`charging the attached battery. A microcontroller in the
`device regulates the charging current to the battery. The
`microcontroller preferably contains an A/D converter which
`is connected to a pull-up resistor internal to the device, and
`to a pull-down resistor in the external power adapter. The
`voltage generated by the resistor divider network is used to
`identify the external power adapter type. By changing the
`value of the pull—down resistor in the external power adapter
`to identify the external power adapter, the microcontroller in
`the apparatus may determine the optimum charging profile
`to use for the battery based upon the charger type and other
`information relating to the battery.
