transformerless power supply n most non-battery applications, the power to the microcontroller is normally supplied using a wall mounted transformer, which is then rectified, filtered and regulated. In most applications, this method of generating the regulated voltage is cost effective and can be justified. However, there are applications where the PIC12/16/17 is the main controller [...]
Transformerless Power Supplies: Resistive and Capacitive There are several ways to convert an AC voltage at a wall receptacle into the DC voltage required by a microcontroller. Traditionally, this has been done with a transformer and rectifier circuit. There are also switch- ing power supply solutions, however, in applications that involve providing a DC voltage [...]
