Abstract

A data cable for fast charging comprises: a cable for transmitting data and charging; a first connection unit which is disposed on one of the two ends of the cable so as to be connected to a power source; a second connection unit which is disposed on the other end of the cable so as to be connected to a mobile terminal; and a mode switching circuit which enables mode switching between a data transmission mode and a fast charging mode, wherein the mode switching circuit comprises: a terminal switching logic which applies an input voltage of the first connection unit; divided resistances; a switch for mode switching between the data transmission mode and the fast charging mode; and an analog switching logic which responds to the switch for mode switching.

Claims
