Abstract

A control circuit, a chip and a control method are disclosed. The control circuit includes: an adjustment signal generation unit configured to detect an electrical signal reflecting a power supplied to a load under control of a current value of a reference signal, generate a feedback signal and output an adjustment signal based on both the feedback signal and the reference signal; and a control unit coupled to the adjustment signal generation unit and configured to control the switching circuit on and off based on the adjustment signal. With the generated adjustment signal that reflects a change in an adjustment metric indicated in the reference signal, the control circuit and the driving system can be adapted in real time to the specifications of any AC power standard. Moreover, much more granular adjustments can be made in the power supplied to the load.
