UPAMD,

Attached are the minutes from the 13 March Working Group meeting.

In preparation for sponsor balloting that we anticipate later in the year, I will be requesting authority to initiate the sponsor balloting pool creation from the MSC at the 9 April meeting. This invitation will extend to members of the working group plus anybody that has interest in the standard. This group is self selecting.

This sponsor ballot is after the UPAMD Working Group approves a draft and reports it to the MSC for Sponsor Ballot.

This is also the time to modify the PAR to include the update in power levels. Other changes to the Scope and Purpose can be made if needed. I would expect to discuss this at the UPAMD 27 March meeting, or on this reflectors before the meeting, and approve the changes at that meeting.

Current UPAMD/P1823 Scope:

The Universal Power Adapter for Mobile Devices (UPAMD) standard defines a power delivery connection between a

power adapter and a power using device in the 10 Watt to 130 Watt range. A communications link between the power adapter and the

mobile power using device is also defined. The communications may be used to coordinate the power delivery and provide

identification between the power adapter and the power using device. While intended for portable computing and entertainment

devices, this standard may also be used with other mobile devices in use around the office, home or vehicle.

Minimum required change – modify the “130 Watt range” to “<240 Watt range”.

Current UPAMD/P1823 Purpose:

The UPAMD standard creates a common interconnect for power delivery in the 10W to 130W power range to portable

and fixed devices. This standard supports more universal use and reuse of power adapters replacing brand specific and model specific

power adapters. The UPAMD adapter system may be usable in portable computing and entertainment systems, security, household

and office equipment within the power range. Universality and reuse are among the primary driving factors. Communications may

support the adaption of the powered device performance to the power available.

Minimum required change “130W” to “<240W”.

I will ask for approval of the modifications at the meeting. It will need to be presented to the MSC on 9 April to make the June Standards board. This needs to be completed before we can start a sponsor ballot.

Respectfully;

Bob Davis

Chair UPAMD/P1823
