How does Qualcomm Quick Charge sense the presence on another compatible device.



Isit looking for voltahe on certain USB pins?


It's looking for a quick-charge chip at the other end of the USB cable.

Basically, yes. There's a whole negotiation process which takes place between the device, and the dedicated charging port. Take a look at the data sheet for the On Semiconductor NCP4371 for some of the details.

and QC4 now also supports USB-PD over USB-C I assume in preperation for the EU mandate that phones/tablets etc. must charge via USB-C, and support USB-PD if the higher power is needed

I found it here.

It looks rather complicated to me but it seems there's some suprisingly elaborate signalling involved. Figure 20 seems to suggest that 2 if not 3 leads get utilised for signalling.
