This part of IEC 62282 covers the interchangeability of power and data between micro fuel cell power systems and electronic devices to provide the micro fuel cell power system compatibility for a variety of electronic devices while maintaining the safety and performance of the micro fuel cell system. For that purpose, this document covers power interfaces and their connector configuration. The power management circuitry and power sharing methodology are also provided.

This document also covers the data communication protocol and its data specification. Operation modes and alert conditions are also provided for the means to comply with the power control requirements of the electronic device.

A micro fuel cell power system and micro fuel cell power unit block diagram is shown in Figure 1. Micro fuel cell power systems and micro fuel cell power units are defined as devices that are wearable or easily carried by hand, providing DC outputs that do not exceed 60 V DC and power outputs that do not exceed 240 VA. This document covers the power and data interfaces between the micro fuel cell power unit and electronic device.
