The present invention discloses a standby power saving method for power module applications, comprising the steps of: generating a mode signal according to voltage comparison of a feedback signal and a threshold voltage, wherein the mode signal has a normal mode state and a standby mode state; generating a pulse signal according to the mode signal, wherein the pulse signal has a normal PWM mode responsive to the normal mode state of the mode signal, and a VCC mode responsive to the standby mode state of the mode signal; and generating a gating signal according to the pulse signal for driving a primary side power switch. The present invention also provides a standby power saving apparatus for power module applications.
