Transformerless Power Supplies convert AC wall outlet voltage into low voltage DC. As the name implies, the generated DC voltage is not isolated from the AC mains.
This is useful in applications which prefer to avoid the cost, size, and weight of a transformer.
Online resources for the design of transformerless power supplies tend to be sparse or incomplete.
This page attempts to remedy this by providing a comprehensive design guide, along with supporting simulation files and a design tool.
Transformerless Power Supply Design Guide
The Transformerless Power Supply Design Guide provides the theory and equations which govern the operation of transformerless power supplies.
The Transformerless Power Supply Design Tool is a Microsoft Excel file that helps size transformerless power supply components to meet output current requirements, power dissipation, etc.
