1 Scope
This Technical Specification states the minimum requirements for DC power supply for notebook computers. Specifically, it gives
-
– an electrical specification (performance characteristics),
-
– an ID pin method,
-
– a connector for DC power output.
The no-load power and power efficiency are outside the scope of this Technical Specification.
NOTE that 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 this Technical Specification but the designer should give due consideration to the performance of the power supply when used with a compatible notebook computer.
NOTE Applications for use in aerospace, military, medical, or smart grid are not addressed in this Technical Specification.
