This circuit is called power factor controller with universal input circuit. It has input range about 90 to 268Vac. Any standards of mains supply in almost any country would be under that range. Maximum load of this power factor controller is 450W. The circuit shown by the picture below :
This is a simple circuit because this circuit uses the internal circuitry of MC34262 power factor controller integrated circuit chip. For higher operating ambient temperature range, -40 to 105 celcius degree, we can replace the IC with MC33262, because MC34262 chip only has the ambient operating temperature range of 0-85 celcius degree.

- 52W SMPS AC-DC Adapter
One AC-DC converter that provides a good accuracy is SMPS AC-DC converter. Test data shows efficiency of 85.4% at 230 Vac input and 6A output current and 83.2% at 115 Vac input and 6A output current. This converter has the universal input voltage range. containing 92 to 276 Vac variation... - Constant Current Constant Voltage Switching Power Supply
This is a circuit that produces constant current constant voltage SMPS. To efficiently charge a battery, we can use constant current constant voltage SMPS. This circuit produces 600 mA at constant current mode and 7.2V at constant voltage mode. Here is the circuit: The operation of this circuit is simple,... - Temperature Under–and Over-Range Sensing with A Window Comparator
The window can be used to monitor a TEC operating temperature and indicate an out-of-range condition. To indicate an over temperature or under-temperature, this circuit uses the separated outputs. If the output’s logic is HIGH, the condition is over-temperature, if it is LOW, the condition is the TEC temperature is... - Fill/Empty Water Level Controller
A controller for keeping the water level stays between upper and lower limits is described here. This water level controller is actually a water pump controller that turn the pump on or off based on the detected water level. This water level controller has two modes: fill and empty. Here... - Two Wires-Stepper Motor Controller
To get a position control that are low cost, accurate and simple we can use stepper motor. To drive it we can use a circuit mounted close to the motor, and to control it we can use remote control circuit via long cable. The power for both motor and the...
