Abstract
A charging cable includes: a plurality of pins; a storage configured to store software, which controls communication with a communication device connected through at least one of the plurality of pins, controls communication with a charging object connected through the plurality of pins, controls charging of the charging object and monitors the charging; and a controller configured to: when a first voltage is applied to the at least one pin of the plurality of pins, control to output a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal having a predetermined first duty ratio corresponding to a communication enabled state with the communication device through the at least one pin; and when a second voltage is applied to the at least one pin, change to an update mode and control to output the PWM signal having a predetermined second duty ratio corresponding to the change to the update mode through the at least one pin.
