Abstract:
Apparatus embodiments of the invention are disclosed for requesting power via a wired interface. In example embodiments, a pull-down circuit in the apparatus acting as a power consumer when there is no energy in the apparatus, is connected via a configuration line over a cable to a power provider device. The apparatus may be in a power down mode, it may have an empty battery, or it may have no battery. The pull-down circuit is configured to use energy from the configuration line to pull down a voltage on the configuration line, to signal the power provider device to provide power over another line of the cable to the apparatus.

Claim (Index 12):
The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the apparatus includes a battery that becomes charged by the power provided on the VBUS line and, in response, the pull down circuit stops pulling down the voltage of the Configuration Channel line and releases control of the Configuration Channel to other circuitry having a capability for logic decisions.
