Abstract
The present application provides an electronic device for preventing a universal serial bus (USB) device from being damaged, and an operating method therefor. The electronic device includes a universal serial bus (USB) connector connectable to at least one of a charging device and a USB device through a dual gender, and at least one processor electrically coupled to the USB connector. The at least one processor is configured to detect a connection of the charging device and the USB device to the electronic device through the USB connector, in response to the connection of the charging device and the USB device to the electronic device, determine a charging voltage satisfying a designated condition, and request the charging device to provide the determined charging voltage through the USB connector.
