REFERENCE DESIGNS:
AC TO DC FRONT-END ONLY

Our AC to DC front-end reference designs include a Pulsiv OSMIUM microcontroller and support a variety of different features and power levels. Once a configuration has been selected, simply integrate a suitable DC to DC converter to produce a complete power supply design.
