1. An electronic device comprising:
a touch input unit;
a first power management integrated circuit (PMIC) configured to manage power supplied to electrical components of the electronic device;
a battery;
a first switching circuit connected to the battery and configured to selectively connect the touch input onit or the first PMIC to the battery;
at least one processor; and
a battery controller,
wherein the battery controller is configured to:
control the first switching circuit such that power is supplied from the battery to the touch input unit and no power is supplied from the battery to the first PMIC, wherein no power is supplied to the at least one processor as no power is supplied from the battery to the first PMIC,
while power is supplied from the battery to the touch input unit and no power is supplied from the battery to the first PMIC, obtain an input through the touch input unit, and
control, based on obtaining the input, the first switching circuit such that power is supplied from the battery to the first PMIC, wherein power is supplied from the battery to the at least one processor through the first PMIC as power is supplied from the battery to the first PMIC.
