Abstract: A power adapter and method of use wherein a power adapter provided with a power supply portion and human detection and cooling circuitry may be cooled and/or disabled upon detection of a human proximate the power adapter. In use, a voltage regulator integrated circuit of the power adapter is disabled if an overload temperature is sensed. Alternatively, if a human presence is sensed proximate the power adapter, the voltage regulator integrated circuit is also disabled and a cooling fan is energized.

Abstract: An illuminated interface cable with a USB type C connector interface on at least one end. A light circuit including a light and a mechanical switch, the light circuit powered by a power level negotiation CC conductor of the cable to energize the light upon actuation of the mechanical switch. The light and switch coupled to the connector interface, the light oriented to illuminate an interconnection area of the connector interface. The light may be provided, for example, as a light emitting diode.

Abstract: An automatic retry limiter circuit for a Power Adapter has a pulse detector coupled to a voltage regulator of the Power Adapter. A digital counter monitoring an output of the pulse detector is incremented upon detection of a pulse; a maximum pulse value of the counter operable to engage a disable latch configured to disable the voltage regulator.
