Portland, OR, Feb. 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to the report published by Allied Market Research, the global AC-DC power supply adapter market was estimated at $10.86 billion in 2021 ...

In addition to the need for rectification in an ac-dc power supply, differences exist in how you rectify the ac line. Worldwide ac mains voltages can range from 100 V in Japan to 240 V in Europe.

An ac-dc supply will have a 50-, 60-, or perhaps 400-Hz input frequency. No matter how good the switching chip you use, a little of this frequency will bleed though the switching circuit.
