Abstract: An input-voltage-off detection apparatus includes a voltage adjustment unit, a time delay unit, a voltage clamp unit, an auxiliary voltage discharge switch unit and an isolation notification unit. The voltage adjustment unit receives an input voltage. The time delay unit utilizes the input voltage to generate a direct current voltage. After the input voltage is cut off, the direct current voltage stored in the time delay unit discharges to the voltage adjustment unit. When the direct current voltage reduces to a predetermined voltage, the auxiliary voltage discharge switch unit is turned on, so that an auxiliary voltage winding sends a working voltage to the isolation notification unit. After the isolation notification unit receives the working voltage, the isolation notification unit notifies an electronic apparatus that the input voltage is cut off.
