What is AC-DC converters?

AC-DC converters transform alternating current (AC) voltage to direct current (DC) voltage. They are ubiquitous in electronic devices, converting mains AC power into the DC voltages required by internal components. Common uses include power supplies for computers, chargers for mobile phones and other electronic devices, and power adapters for various appliances.
