Abstract
An electronic device and a method for driving an internal function block of a processor of the electric device to operate in a linear region. The electronic device comprises a processor having two multiple purpose pins (MPPand MPP), an external device connection port, and two resistance elements. The external device connection port is further connected to the MPPand at a tested voltage. The first resistance element is connected between a high level voltage and the external device connection port. The second resistance element is connected between the external device connection port and the MPP. The processor is configured to output the high or low level voltage at MPPwhen the tested voltage is in a non-linear operating region, to guarantee the tested voltage to a linear operating region of the function block which is coupled to the MPPby a multiplexing design.
