AC Cap Dropper DC Power Supply
Anyone know of a clever way to regulate other than the typical
brute-force zener clamp?

Power level? Input range?

0.8W, Input is 220VAC/50Hz full-wave-rectified.

[snip]
The capacitor must go between the AC line and input to the bridge. It uses
the reactance of the capacitor as a dropping resistor.
Nonsense, all it requires is a _changing_ input.
...Jim Thompson
With appropriate discharge paths. If the cap is before the rectifier,
the source can do this, otherwise........
RL
Or a PFC path... that's all I can say right now ;-)
...Jim Thompson
Who's on first.
RL
Costello :-)
But that's the real problem: egg-chicken-egg... who runs the control
loop?

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
