Abstract
A control chip applied in a switching power supply, where the switching power supply includes a rectifier circuit for receiving an AC input voltage and generating a rectified voltage, the control chip including: a high-voltage pin; a detection circuit coupled to the high-voltage pin to determine whether the high-voltage pin is coupled to the AC input voltage or the rectified voltage according to a sampling voltage representing a voltage received by the high-voltage pin; and a discharge circuit, where when the high-voltage pin is determined to be coupled to the AC input voltage, the control chip can enable the discharge circuit to discharge a safety capacitor coupled to an input port of the switching power supply after the switching power supply is powered off, and when the high-voltage pin is determined to be coupled to the rectified voltage, the control chip can disable the discharge circuit.
