Controlling power delivery to a battery
A controller for controlling power delivery to a battery includes a first terminal that provides a first signal to enable a bypass path to deliver power from an interface to charge the battery, and includes a second terminal that provides a second signal to enable a conversion circuit to convert input power received at the interface to output power to charge the battery. The controller also includes circuitry that determines whether a first adapter or a second adapter is connected to the interface, generates the second signal if the second adapter is connected to the interface, generates the first signal and a request if the first adapter is connected to the interface, and provides the request to the first adapter through the interface. The request includes information indicative of a target level and an instruction that causes the first adapter to provide power at the target level to the interface.
