Abstract: A power conversion device and a control circuit are provided. The power conversion device includes a power conversion circuit and a control circuit. The control circuit includes a first controller and a second controller. The power conversion circuit includes an input capacitor, a rectifier circuit, and a power switch. The input capacitor is coupled to an input terminal of the power conversion device. The rectifier circuit converts an input AC power into a rectified power. The first controller operates the power switch to cause the power conversion circuit to convert the rectified power into an output power. The second controller detects a signal waveform at the input terminal, and controls the first controller in response to the signal waveform at the input terminal, so as to utilize the power switch to discharge the charge stored in the input capacitor.

Abstract: A detection circuit for a power supply circuit is provided. The detection circuit includes a reference circuit, a voltage detection circuit, and a determination circuit. The reference circuit is coupled to a thermal circuit of the power supply circuit through a connection pin. The voltage detection circuit stops the reference circuit from providing a temperature reference signal, and samples a single-phase AC input power through the connection pin. When a peak value information of the single-phase AC input power is sampled, the voltage detection circuit stores the peak value information and enables the reference circuit to provide the temperature reference signal. The determination circuit provides at least one of a waveform detection signal and an over-voltage detection signal in response to the peak value information, and provides an over-temperature detection signal according to at least one of an output signal of the thermal circuit and the peak value information.

Abstract: A power conversion apparatus including a flyback power conversion circuit, a control chip and a detection auxiliary circuit is provided. The flyback power conversion circuit receives and converts an input voltage into a DC output voltage. The control chip generates a PWM signal in response to a power supplying requirement to control the operation of the flyback power conversion circuit, wherein the control chip has a single multi-function detection pin.
