Abstract

An electronic device and a method for controlling power supply are provided. The electronic device includes a first transmission port, a second transmission port, a switching power circuit and a control unit. The first transmission port is connected to a first external device, and the second transmission port is connected to a second external device. The switching power circuit is coupled to the first transmission port, the second transmission port and the power storage unit. The control unit controls the switching power circuit according to the voltage level of the first detecting pin of the first transmission port and the voltage level of the second detecting pin of the second transmission port, so as to make the first external device and the second external device to transmit power to the power storage unit.
