An active clamp control circuit for a flyback converter can be configured to: control turn-on states of a main switch and an auxiliary switch to make the auxiliary switch turn on for a first time period in at least one switching period, and to make the main switch turn on for a second time period in each switching period, where the first and second time periods are non-overlapping periods of the switching period; and compare a peak value of an inductor current flowing through the main switch against a first threshold to adjust the first time period of the auxiliary switch when the peak value of the inductor current is greater than or equal to the first threshold, such that the first time period is directly proportional to the peak value of the inductor current.
