Abstract
An electronic device includes a connector for connecting to an external device; a battery; and a controller operatively coupled to the connector and the battery. The controller includes a power controller configured to: supply the external device with a first signal having a first voltage level in response to detecting that the external device is connected to the connector. The external device is supplied with a second signal having a second voltage level that differs from the first voltage level, in response to detecting that the external device is connected to an external power supply. The first signal is generated at least in part by the battery.
