Abstract: The present disclosure provides apparatuses including a lighting function and a multimedia function, and control methods thereof. In some embodiments, an electronic apparatus includes a transformation part configured to convert alternating current (AC) power into direct current (DC) power, a power factor correction (PFC) part including a PFC circuit and a PFC control circuit, and a converter part configured to control a voltage output from the PFC part by using a transformer to supply power through an output terminal of the converter part, set a first switch of the converter part to a first state based on the electronic apparatus performing a multimedia function, and set the first switch to a second state based on the electronic apparatus performing a lighting function. The PFC part is configured to control the PFC control circuit, based on a state of the first switch.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus is disclosed. The electronic apparatus includes: a first power factor correction (PFC) unit comprising circuitry and a second PFC unit comprising circuitry connected to the first PFC unit, a first controller configured to control the first PFC unit, and a second controller configured to control the second PFC unit, wherein the first controller is configured to: detect a voltage output from the first PFC unit, control a driving time of the first PFC unit based on the detected output voltage, and provide information on the driving time to the second PFC unit through the second controller, and wherein the second controller is configured to control a driving time of the second PFC unit based on the information on the driving time.
