POWER BOOST CHARGING SYSTEM AND METHOD

A method includes detecting a connection of a device to a USB Type-C Power Delivery (USB-C/PD) port, generating a base power delivery profile for providing power to the device through the USB-C/PD port according to a base maximum power level, entering a power boost mode, generating a power boost delivery profile in the power boost mode according to a boost maximum power level greater than the base maximum power level, delivering power to the device through the USB-C/PD port according to a first contract negotiated based on the power boost delivery profile for a predetermined time period, exiting the power boost mode responsive to expiration of the predetermined time period, and delivering power to the device through the USB-C/PD port according to a second contract negotiated based on the base power delivery profile after exiting the power boost mode, wherein the second contract is compliant with a USB-PD specification.
