What is PD IEC/TS 62700 - DC power supply for notebook computers about?
PD IEC/TS 62700 states the minimum requirements for DC power supply for notebook computers. Specifically, PD IEC/TS 62700 gives:
- An electrical specification (performance characteristics)
- An id pin method
- A connector for dc power output
Note 1: The no-load power and power efficiency are outside the scope of this Technical Specification.
Note 2: Safety requirements are covered by IEC 60950-1 and EMC requirements are covered by CISPR 22 and CISPR 24. CISPR 32 may be used in place of CISPR 22 for this purpose. These requirements are neither re-stated nor challenged by PD IEC/TS 62700 but the designer should give due consideration to the performance of the power supply when used with a compatible notebook computer.
Note 3: Applications for use in aerospace, military, medical, or smart grid are not addressed in PD IEC/TS 62700.
