Hello guys, 

 Most of the MP3 Players have this USB battery charging system using USB
cable.  Plug the USB cable to USB port it will charge the battery and
also you can use USB for normal operation.
USB IF standards calls for EYE diagram compliance of such devices.  Most
of the USB cruzer drives are subjected to USB IF compliance and CE/FCC
certification for emission and immunity.

A quick review of the USB 2.0 standard does not show any EMC
requirements for USB power or devices.  The USB standard only states
that "All USB devices should be designed to meet the applicable
regulatory requirements".
CISPR 24 should be used to determine acceptable noise and transient
levels.

I also would not consider this a new USB concept.  There have been USB
battery chargers available for some time.  I have had a USB cell phone
charger for about three years.  I see a generalized battery charger as
an extension of an existing concept rather than something novel.

The most novel application I have seen recently is a rechargeable AA
battery.  One end is actually a cap that can be removed exposing a USB
plug.  You can then plug the battery into your computer to recharge it.
Once charged, you replace the cap and put the battery back in your
battery powered device.  No external battery charging cradle is
required.  The drawback is that the capacity of the battery is
significantly diminished because much of the package is devoted to the
USB connection and charging circuitry.

I recently read about a company that will be introducing a series of
micro-sized power converters that will attach to a computer's USB port
and charge general purpose rechargeable batteries. The logic is that USB
ports are ubiquitous, people who have computers typically also have
several applications for rechargeable batteries, and the mess of
multiple dedicated wall-wart chargers can be eliminated.

I realize that this isn't new regulatory territory, but it is a novel
use of the USB concept. OTOH, is there anything in the USB definition
that addresses RF noise and transients on the USB power bus? Is there a
CE/CS USB criteria?
