? A/D conversion
? The EC uses 10-bit sampling for A/D conversion to determine the following values:
– Battery and temperature
? AC adaptor and battery check
? The EC checks the following by A/D converted values:
– Battery installed
? The EC checks the following by GPIO values:
– AC adaptor connected
? Abnormal check
? The EC determines whether the condition is abnormal, and if so, stores an error
code into the error register.
? Input port management
? The EC monitors the following input signal status:
– System power ON/OFF status
– Direct CD power ON/OFF status
