Abstract:
A transformerless AC/DC converter comprising an IC having a rectifying unit with a function to transform AC of full waveform to continuous semi waveform, and a wave-filtering unit employing gate transient voltage preset by a first FET to proceed with filtering sample by ON and OFF method such that the preset voltage passes through the output terminal and achieves the effect of transformed voltage, and a voltage stabilizing unit which processes the output voltage for suitable utilization, wherein the sampling method of the AC with respect to the first FET includes: (i) Fixed voltage sampling: presetting gate transient voltage of FET and let the voltage within the range to pass through a second FET output, and if the output is exceed the gate transient voltage of the first FET or lower than the gate transient voltage of the second FET, the second FET is shut off and the output is stopped to achieve the objective of voltage transformation; (ii) Fixed time sampling: Employing Zener diode, resistance and capacitors to provide the function of timing can fix the appropriate time scope of after the starting and before the ending of the waveform to cause the second FET circuit to electrically communication to unload the voltage within the preset scope so as to achieve the objective of voltage transformation.
