ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR COMMUNICATING WITH EXTERNAL DEVICE THROUGH USB INTERFACE AND OPERATION METHOD THEREFOR

According to various embodiments, an electronic device may include an application processor including a first embedded universal serial bus (eUSB) device for performing an eUSB function, and a processor for controlling the first eUSB device. The electronic device may further include a repeater configured to be electrically connectable between the first eUSB device and an external device. The processor is configured to monitor to detect a connection of the external device to the electronic device. The processor is further configured to identify a mode related to an operation speed of the external device. The processor is further configured to control a signal to be transmitted or received in a high speed (HS) mode between the first eUSB device and the repeater, based on the identification that the mode is a full speed (FS) mode or a low speed (LS) mode. Various other embodiments may be provided.
