Abstract
A discharge circuit for an X capacitor has a first voltage detection circuit providing a first indicating signal based on a voltage across two input terminals of a switching converter to indicate whether the two input terminals are connected to an AC power source, and a discharge module starting a discharge operation on the X capacitor based on first indicating signal, and the discharge operation discharges the X capacitor during a first time period, and stops discharging the X capacitor and compares a sampled signal with the voltage across the two input terminals during a following second time period.
