An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a battery, a power management integrated circuit (PMIC), that is electrically connected to the battery, adjusts at least part of power received from the battery, and outputs a controlled power, a processor electrically connected to the PMIC, at least one power sensor that is one of electrically connected between the battery and the PMIC and constitutes a part of the PMIC, and a control circuit electrically connected to the at least one power sensor. The control circuit acquires at least one of a current value and a power value input into the PMIC from the battery, determines whether at least one of the acquired current value and power value is greater than or equal to a threshold, and generates a first signal for controlling at least one of the PMIC and the processor, at least partially based on the determination.

Electronic device for managing power and method of controlling same

An inductor device is provided. The inductor device includes a coil unit that includes a pair of first and second coils disposed adjacent to each other and coupled to each other, a core unit that surrounds inner and outer spaces of the coil unit, and an induction unit that is disposed in the coil unit and is induced by a magnetic field generated between the first and second coils.

Inductor device

A method of performing a charging function by using different types of energy sources and an electronic device thereof are provided. The electronic device includes different types of circuits configured to acquire different types of energy sources, and a processor configured to determine an energy source for charging among the different types of energy sources based on respective current values for the different types of energy sources, and control the determined energy source for charging so as to be used in battery charging of the electronic device or in a system operation of the electronic device.
