ABSTRACT:
A current converter that includes stored information about the converter can provide that information to an electronic device, such as a computer system, when the current converter is in use with the device. The current converter information can include manufacturer and model identity information, compatibility information, electrical characteristics, current converter type information, and current source information. A storage device in the current converter is coupled to a data bus for connecting to the electronic device, or can make use of one or more of the existing power output terminals to provide current converter information to the electronic device. Based on the information provided to the electronic device, the device can determine whether to allow operation of the device, and if so, under what circumstances and conditions.
