Method and apparatus for high speed charging using various charging schemes

An electronic device comprising:

• a first connector including first conductive pins arranged according to a first protocol;
• a second connector including second conductive pins arranged according to a second protocol different from the first protocol, the second conductive pins being different in number from the first conductive pins;
• and
• a control circuit operatively coupled to the first connector and the second connector, wherein the control circuit is configured to:
• detect coupling to an external device through the first connector by at least one of the first conductive pins,
• receive profile information including at least one of:
• a power supply device operatively coupled to the second connector by at least one of the second conductive pins, and identification information for an external device, and
• set a charging path within the electronic device between the first connector and the second connector using at least one of the first conductive pins and the at least one of the second conductive pins coupled to the power supply device,
• wherein the at least one of the first conductive pins operatively coupled to the external device is a Configuration Channel 1 (CC1) pin or a Configuration Channel 2 (CC2) pin, and at least one of the second conductive pins operatively coupled to the power supply device includes at least one of a second CC1 pin, a second CC2 pin, a D+ pin, and a D− pin, and
• wherein when the first conductive pin operatively coupled to the external device and the second conductive pin operatively coupled to the power supply device correspond to the CC1 pin, the CC2 pin, the second CC1 pin and the second CC2 pin, the control circuit is configured to set a first charging path including an electrically conductive path between the CC1 pin or the CC2 pin of the first connector and the second CC1 pin or the second CC2 pin of the second connector.
