A method for controlling an amount of power delivered to an electrical load may include controlling an average magnitude of a load current towards a target load current that ranges from a maximum-rated current to a minimum-rated current in a normal mode, and controlling the average magnitude of the load current below the minimum-rated current in a burst mode.

During the burst mode, the method may include regulating a peak magnitude of the load current towards the minimum-rated current during the active state, and stopping the generation of at least one drive signal during the inactive state to control the average magnitude of the load current to be less than the minimum-rated current.

The present disclosure provides a power supply apparatus, a charging method, and an electronic device system. The power supply apparatus comprises a first-stage conversion circuit, a second-stage conversion circuit, and a valley-fill circuit. The first-stage conversion circuit is used for converting a rectified DC voltage to obtain a first DC voltage; the second-stage conversion circuit is used for converting the first DC voltage and outputting a second DC voltage, the second DC voltage being lower than the voltage value of the first DC voltage; the valley-fill circuit is used, if the second DC voltage is lower than a set value, for supplying power to the output end of the power supply apparatus so that the output voltage of the power supply apparatus is a constant DC voltage. The present disclosed technical solution is capable of reducing the size of a power supply apparatus.

A power supply control circuit for controlling a charging process of a power supply capacitor to produce a power supply voltage to power a power control chip is disclosed.

The power supply control circuit further has a charging control circuit, configured to provide the charging control signal to control the charging switch based on the input voltage, the power supply voltage and a voltage threshold. Thus a high turns ratio of an auxiliary winding to a secondary winding is not necessary, high voltage devices are not needed and the power dissipation caused by the high voltage is also reduced.
