Abstract: Provided is an electronic device configured to be charged with an adapter. The electronic device includes an energy storage unit, a charging unit and a switch unit. The charging unit is configured to receive a bus voltage and output a charging voltage to charge the energy storage unit. The switch unit is electrically coupled in parallel to the charging unit. When the electronic device is coupled to the adapter through a bus interface, the electronic device receives the bus voltage from the adapter, receives a communication signal from the adapter, and selectively turns on or off the switch unit according to the communication signal, and when the electronic device operates in a direct charging mode, the switch unit is turned on to form a direct charging path, to charge the energy storage unit by using the bus voltage.

Abstract: A power management method includes: determining, by a control circuit, whether a first connector is connected to a first power supply and whether a second connector is connected to a second power supply. The method further includes: controlling, by the control circuit, a first conversion circuit to supply power to a battery unit and a system circuit, and computing a second fully-charged condition that is less than a first fully-charged condition when a determining result is yes. The method also includes: determining, by the control circuit, whether power information of the battery unit reaches the second fully-charged condition, and controlling, by the control circuit, a second conversion circuit to convert a second power from the second connector according to the second fully-charged condition, to supply power to the battery unit and the system circuit. A related circuit and electronic device are also provided.
