An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, a display driver integrated circuit (DDI) including a clock generator and being operatively connected to the display, the DDI being configured to generate a hardware-based interrupt by using the clock generator, at least one processor operatively connected to the DDI, and a memory operatively connected to the at least one processor. The memory stores one or more instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to receive a vertical synchronization (vsync) request associated with a frame displayed on the display, identify whether a software-based interrupt generated by an operation of the at least one processor is activated, and in response to determining that the software-based interrupt is not activated, prompt the DDI to activate the software-based interrupt without generating the hardware-based interrupt.
