A method for performing refreshing control of a direct current (DC)-to-DC converter includes: monitoring at least one duration of a control signal of a switching unit of the DC-to-DC converter to determine a statistics result, the duration corresponding to a duty cycle of the control signal; and based upon the statistics result, performing refreshing control on a bootstrap capacitor within the DC-to-DC converter. In particular, the step of monitoring the duration of the control signal of the switching unit of the DC-to-DC converter to determine the statistics result further includes monitoring whether a length of the duration falls within a predetermined range, wherein the statistics result represents a number of times that the length of the duration falls within the predetermined range. For example, the statistics result represents the number of times that the length of the duration successively falls within the predetermined range. An associated apparatus is also provided. |
