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. For example, the charger may include: a first terminal, positioned on the charger chip; a second terminal, positioned on the charger chip and selectively coupled to the first terminal; a third terminal, positioned on the charger chip and selectively coupled to the second terminal; a fourth terminal, positioned on the charger chip and coupled to the third terminal; a first power output path, coupled to the fourth terminal, arranged for providing a first voltage level; and a second power output path, coupled to the third terminal, arranged for selectively providing a second voltage level that is greater than the first voltage level. |

1. An apparatus for performing hybrid power control in an electronic device, the apparatus comprising:
a charger, positioned in the electronic device, arranged for selectively charging a battery of the electronic device, wherein at least one portion of the charger is implemented within a charger chip, and the charger comprises:
a first terminal, positioned on the charger chip, arranged for coupling the charger to a power input port of the electronic device, wherein the power input port is utilized for selectively obtaining external power from outside the electronic device;a second terminal, positioned on the charger chip and selectively coupled to the first terminal, wherein the second terminal is utilized for selectively inputting the external power into at least one internal component of the charger chip when needed;a third terminal, positioned on the charger chip and selectively coupled to the second terminal, arranged for interconnecting partial paths between components within the charger, wherein the third terminal is utilized for selectively bypassing the external power when needed;a fourth terminal, positioned on the charger chip and coupled to the third terminal, arranged for interconnecting a battery path from the battery and another partial path within the charger;a first power output path, coupled to the fourth terminal, arranged for providing a first voltage level; anda second power output path, coupled to the third terminal, arranged for selectively providing a second voltage level, wherein the second voltage level is greater than the first voltage level. |
