UPAMD, For those of you that were not
able to participate in the teleconference, retaining, or gaining, membership is
through email participation. Please participate by commenting on the goals as
accept/support, reject/no support, or with modifications that would make it
acceptable. Here they are again as modified
in the last teleconference: a.
Life
expectancy of 10 years, hopefully more b.
Same
connector for All device and adapter connections if detached cable c.
Power
range >10W – 130W delivered power to device and is brand, model, and
year agnostic d.
First
adapter must work with last device and last adapter with first device. Standard
Compatibility. e.
Adapter<->Mobile
Device communications required for higher power safety >0.7W (down from 7W
ie 12-14v@50ma) f.
Standard
designed to support Certification testing of adapter and device (and cable) g.
Continuous
communications growth to support growth of UPAMD capability. h.
Basic
power delivery mechanism i.
Must
support regular non-battery and battery powered devices i.
Device
may be capable of being a source as well as a sink of power i.
To
supply power other devices beyond the USB 10W power range ii.
Able
to share power for mission critical or business critical applications if
willing j.
Make
independent of rapidly changing technology i.
Multiple
battery technologies currently used – no common adapter or battery
voltage ii.
Consider
isolation to meet medical power needs k.
Consider
future mobile device design options i.
Smaller
profiles, headed for 10mm to 5mm? Different shape devices, non-edge usage l.
Connector
must not mate with any current designs – product Safety issue – no
confusion m.
Apply
KISS principle – Keep It Simple Stupid within the other goals. At the Aug 3,4 teleconference/WebEx
meeting the vote of the committee will be held (and the email follow-on) for
the resultant goals. Respectfully, Bob Davis UPAMD/P1823 Chair From: upamd@xxxxxxxx
[mailto:upamd@xxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Per Hassel Sørensen Hi Everybody, As the teleconference was during my
vacation and at 2AM in the morning I was unable to participate. But if still
valid within 7 days after meeting, here are a summary of my views: VI. Start to review the overall goals of
the group. Solicit new input. a. Life expectancy of 10 years, hopefully
more Yes - support. b. Same connector for All device and
adapter connections if detached cable Yes-
support but single connector for all voltages and power needs (maybe with and
without retention/mechanical lock for various applications. c. Power range >10W – 130W
delivered power to device and is brand, model, and year agnostic Yes- support. d. First adapter must work with last device
and last adapter with first device. Standard Compatibility. Yes- support. e. Adapter<->Mobile Device
communications required for higher power safety >7W. Yes- support. f. Standard designed to support
Certification testing of adapter and device (and cable)
Not in favour of mandatory certification testing. This should not be a
requirement. Instead it should be voluntary part of standard. g. Continuous communications growth to
support growth of UPAMD capability. Not if
this prohibit VI-d. h. Basic power delivery mechanism i. Must support
regular non-battery and battery powered devices
Yes- support. i. Device may be capable of being a source
as well as a sink of power No – not
supported. I think the extra complexity of being bidirectional should be put on
the device requiring such special performance maybe using two UPAMD connections
(one for source, one for sink?) Adapter should only be source via UPAMD
connection. i. To supply power
other devices beyond the USB 10W power range. Yes -
support ii. Able to share
power for mission critical or business critical applications if willing Yes but not directly. This should be controlled by
device. But adapter must be able to relay such messages back and forth between
device and energy supply so that device may reduce consumption or shut down if
necessary. Adapter should be able to inform energy source or device about
current consumption and any limits imposed by energy source. j. Make independent of rapidly changing
technology i. Multiple
battery technologies currently used – no common adapter or battery
voltage Yes – support. The UPAMD
communication should be able to control voltage and max current arbitrary based
on communication. The Adapter<->Mobile Device communications should
enable this to be done. ii. Consider
isolation to meet medical power needs No –
not supported. Medical standards should be kept outside this standard –
see KISS. k. Consider future mobile device design
options i. Smaller profiles,
headed for 10mm to 5mm? Different shape devices, non-edge usage No not now. I believe we are able to make a small
enough connector for most devices. Maybe for a version 2 of the standard as
this will break VI-b. Also such small devices will usually use less than 10W. l. Connector must not mate with any current
designs – product Safety issue – no confusion Yes- support. m. Apply KISS principle – Keep It
Simple Stupid within the other goals. Yes -
support. n. Environmentally friendly to eventual
disposal No – not supported. This issue
should be handled by other standards. Kind regards, Per |
