The present invention provides a light emitting device power supply circuit with dimming function and a control circuit thereof. The light emitting device power supply circuit includes: a phase-cut dimming circuit, a rectifier circuit, a transformer circuit, and a control circuit. The transformer circuit includes an auxiliary winding, which is coupled to a primary winding, for generating a bleeder current to keep a conduction current higher than a holding current and prevent the phase-cut dimming circuit from turning OFF when the phase-cut dimming circuit operates in conductive phase. The control circuit includes a waveform analysis circuit, a bleeder current control circuit, and a bleeder current source. The bleeder current source includes a linear regulator or a variable current source. The bleeder current source controls the bleeder current so that the bleeder current is generated in a continuous and non-switching manner within the conductive phase.

The present invention discloses a short circuit and/or bad connection detection method for use in a power supply system. The power supply system includes a power converter which converts an input voltage to an output voltage and supplies an output current to an electronic device. In the short circuit detection method, the conversion from the input voltage to the output voltage is disabled in a disable time period, and whether a short circuit occurs is determined according to the decreasing speed of the output voltage. In the bad connection detection method, an actual voltage and an actual current received by the electronic device are compared with the output voltage and the output current, to determine whether a bad connection occurs.

A first switch is switched to short a multi-functional pin of an integrated circuit to a ground terminal or let a current supplied to the multi-functional pin to flow to a second switch connected to the multi-functional pin. Before the integrated circuit is ready, the second switch is closed circuit and is detected its current to determine a first signal to enable or disable the integrated circuit. After the integrated circuit is ready, the second switch is open circuit, the voltage at the multi-functional pin is detected to determine a second signal to enable or disable the integrated circuit, and when the voltage at the multi-functional pin is higher than a threshold, a power good signal is triggered.
