An electronic device includes a processor including a central processing unit (CPU) and a plurality of intellectual property (IP) blocks and a memory operationally connected with the processor. The memory stores one or more instructions, when executed, causing the processor to obtain a first voltage level of the electronic device, decrease a clock frequency of a first clock, which is a clock signal supplied to the CPU, when the obtained first voltage level is less than or equal to a specified first threshold voltage, and decrease at least one maximum clock frequency selected from a plurality of maximum clock frequencies, which is set in the CPU and the plurality of IP blocks, when the obtained first voltage level is less than or equal to the first threshold voltage after a first time elapses.

Electronic device and control method thereof

A method of an electronic device are provided in which current consumption for one or more components of the electronic device is compared with a predetermined current. A first surface temperature of the electronic device is determined based on the comparison and power consumption of the one or more components. A location is detected where heat corresponding to the first surface temperature is generated. A second surface temperature of the electronic device is obtained based on power consumption of a component disposed in the electronic device corresponding to the location where the heat is generated. A target temperature is set based on the obtained second surface temperature. The component is controlled to reduce the power consumption of the component based on the target temperature.

Electronic device and operation control method thereof

A control method by an electronic device is provided. The control method includes monitoring current consumption for each of a plurality of components of the electronic device, predicting a first surface temperature of the electronic device and detecting a location where heat is generated, predicting a second surface temperature by analyzing power consumption of a component corresponding to the location where heat is generated, determining whether the predicted second surface temperature is greater than or equal to a predetermined temperature, setting a target temperature when the predicted second surface temperature is greater than or equal to the predetermined temperature, and controlling the component to reduce the power consumption.
