The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for controlling a flyback converter, the flyback converter including a main switch, a transformer and an auxiliary switch. The method includes: obtaining a first voltage signal and a second voltage signal, the first voltage signal representing an input voltage of the flyback converter, and the second voltage signal representing an output voltage of the flyback converter; controlling turn-on of the auxiliary switch, wherein the turn-on time period of the auxiliary switch is determined according to the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal; and turning on the main switch at ZVS condition, wherein the main switch is turned on at the time delayed for a duration of a dead time after turning off of the auxiliary switch.
