AN AUTOMATIC LINE VOLTAGE SWITCHING CIRCUIT

ABSTRACT
The voltages found in line sockets around the world vary widely. Power supply designers have, most often,
overcome this problem by the use of a doubler/bridge switch that can double the 120V nominal line and
simply rectify the 240V nominal voltage.
A two device solution (comprising an integrated circuit and a customized triac) that will adapt the power
supply to various line voltages around the world is described in the following paper. This circuit replaces
a manual switch and could also open special markets. Other advantages of this integrated circuit solution
are
