Abstract:
An apparatus for performing hybrid power control in an electronic device includes a charger positioned in the electronic device, and the charger is arranged for selectively charging a battery of the electronic device. In addition, at least one portion of the charger is implemented within a charger chip, and the charger may include: a plurality of terminals that are positioned on the charger chip; a plurality of switching units, positioned on the charger chip; and at least one control circuit, positioned on the charger chip and coupled to the plurality of switching units. For example, the control circuit may be arranged for controlling the plurality of switching units to allow charging using any of a plurality of adaptors corresponding to different voltages, wherein a first charging path and a second charging path of the charger correspond to a first adaptor and a second adaptor within the plurality of adaptors, respectively.
