[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a PD fast charging digital display data cable, including a Hall effect current sensor 1, characterized in that: the Hall effect current sensor 1 is connected in series with a TYPE-C interface 13 with an E-Marker 15 chip inside through an IP+ terminal 11 and an IP- terminal 12, and a VBUS 14 connected to the Hall effect current sensor 1 is provided on the TYPE-C interface 13, and a MCU2 is electrically connected to one side of the Hall effect current sensor 1 and VBUS 14, and a LED display 21 driven by itself is provided on one side of the MCU2, and a low voltage difference linear regulator LDO3 is electrically connected to one side of the Hall effect current sensor 1, VBUS 14 and MCU2, and the output reference voltage of the Hall effect current sensor 1 is used as a system calibration reference voltage for detecting current, and a high-sensitivity Hall sensor component, a Hall signal pre-amplifier, a common-mode magnetic field suppression circuit, a temperature compensation unit, an oscillator, a dynamic offset elimination circuit and an amplifier output module are provided inside the Hall effect current sensor 1.

[0042] In this embodiment, the Hall effect current sensor 1 uses a high-precision Hall effect current detection sensor to achieve accurate detection of the large current conducted by the data line. It generates a magnetic field through the current flowing through an internal wire, and induces corresponding electrical signals on the Hall circuit. These signals are converted into voltage signals for output after the processing circuit. The key to this component is that it can provide high-precision current detection, and its advantages include high linearity, high temperature stability, and a wide measurement range; MCU (microcontroller) 2 is the core processing unit of the PD fast charging digital display data line controller, which is responsible for receiving the output signal of the Hall effect sensor 1 and converting these voltage signals into current values. At the same time, the MCU also collects the voltage value on VBUS to calculate the current charging parameters, such as current, voltage, power, etc., and controls the display to display this information. The MCU implements key tasks such as signal sampling, calculation and display control; the display (LED or OLED screen) displays the current charging information according to the data generated by the MCU processing, including various parameters such as current, voltage, power, and PD protocol. This component provides users with a friendly interface, intuitively displays complex electrical parameters, and allows users to easily understand the charging status; LDO (low voltage difference linear regulator) 3 provides a stable operating voltage VCC for the controller. It is connected to VBUS and reduces the VBUS voltage to the voltage level required for the MCU and display. The role of LDO is to ensure that the entire controller system can operate at a safe and stable voltage to prevent damage that may be caused by voltage fluctuations; the E-Marker chip 15 is located at a specific interface of the data line and can read information such as the power transmission capacity, data transmission speed, video transmission capacity and ID of the data line. The chip allows the output end to adjust the matching voltage / current or audio and video signal according to the specific needs of the connected device, ensuring the optimal charging and data transmission efficiency between the connected devices.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the LED display screen 21 is driven by MCU2 using a specific time-sharing multiplexing scanning drive algorithm software. The display content on the LED display screen 21 is generated by MCU2 according to the current status of the voltage and current on VBUS14. The E-Marker chip 15 is used to read the characteristics of the data line, including power transmission capability, data transmission speed, video transmission capability and cable ID information. MCU2 is connected to the output voltage signal of the Hall effect current sensor 1 and the voltage signal on VBUS14 through the built-in analog-to-digital converter ADC22, and converts these signals into digital signals for processing. The LED display screen 21 can be replaced with an OLED display screen 23, and the other ends of the LED display screen 21 and MCU2 are both GND24.

[0044] In this embodiment, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a PD fast charging digital display data cable, so that the PD fast charging digital display data cable data truly has the advantages of conducting large current, high precision current and voltage detection, high linearity and temperature stability, and wide measurement range. And then provide users with a digital display data cable with high-speed and large current visual performance that fully complies with the PD3.0 and PD3.1 protocol standards. At the same time, it is also compatible with QC and AFC full-protocol charging detection indications. The highly sensitive Hall effect current detection sensor technology is used to achieve accurate detection of large currents conducted by the data line; the reference voltage source of the Hall effect current detection sensor is used as the reference voltage for system voltage calibration; when a dedicated LED display screen 21 is used as the display screen of the PD fast charging digital display data cable, it is used to indicate the charging current, power, PD protocol and other parameters of the data line; when a dedicated OLED display screen 23 is used as the display screen of the PD fast charging digital display data cable, it is used to indicate the charging current, power, PD protocol and other parameters of the data line.

[0045] When in use, current detection and signal conversion: When the data line is connected to the device for charging, the Hall effect current sensor 1 senses the current flowing through the TYPE-C interface 13 through its IP+ terminal 11 and IP- terminal 12. This TYPE-C interface with an E-Marker15 chip inside helps to transmit current. The high-sensitivity sensor component inside the Hall effect current sensor 1 detects the magnetic field generated by the current passing through the wire and converts it into an electrical signal. These signals are processed by pre-amplification, common-mode magnetic field suppression, temperature compensation, oscillation, dynamic offset elimination and amplification, and finally output as a reference voltage signal;

[0046] Signal processing and display calculation: MCU2 receives the output voltage signal of the Hall effect current sensor 1 and the voltage signal on VBUS14 collected by the built-in ADC22. MCU calculates the current charging parameters such as current, voltage, power, etc. based on these signals, and drives the LED display 21 or OLED display 23 through a dedicated time-division multiplexing scanning drive algorithm software to display these charging parameters;

[0047] Voltage stabilization and data characteristic reading: LDO3 obtains voltage from VBUS14 and reduces it to a voltage level suitable for the MCU and display to ensure stable operation of the system. At the same time, the E-Marker chip 15 reads the power transmission capacity, data transmission speed, video transmission capacity and cable ID information of the data line to adjust the output to meet the device requirements.

[0048] Through the above steps, the PD fast charging digital display data cable controller can achieve accurate current and voltage detection, efficient data processing and display, stable power supply, and intelligent device identification, providing users with high-precision and high-efficiency charging experience while maintaining compatibility with protocol standards such as PD3.0 and PD3.1.

Anyone familiar with the technology may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the definition of the claims.
