Abstract
A control method of a power supply path includes detecting a plug-in state of a first connector through a configuration channel pin of the first connector; acquiring a plurality of rated voltages of a first power adaptor externally connected to the first connector and a rated current corresponding to each of the rated voltages; detecting a plug-in state of a second connector through a direct-current (DC) input pin of the second connector; acquiring a power quota of a second power adaptor externally connected to the second connector; selecting, from the plurality of rated voltages, the largest one that is not greater than an operating voltage, as a selected rated voltage; calculating a power quota of the selected rated voltage; and controlling a switching circuit to couple a power circuit to a power pin of one of the first and second connectors according to the two power quotas.
