If a DC output is required, the AC output from the transformer is rectified. For output voltages above ten volts or so, ordinary silicon diodes are commonly used. For lower voltages, Schottky diodes are commonly used as the rectifier elements; they have the advantages of faster recovery times than silicon diodes (allowing low-loss operation at higher frequencies) and a lower voltage drop when conducting. For even lower output voltages, MOSFETs may be used as synchronous rectifiers; compared to Schottky diodes, these have even lower conducting state voltage drops.
US 2014869,Teare Jr., Benjamin R.&Whiting, Max A.,"Electroresponsive Device",published 15 November 1932,issued 17 September 1935 Each AC/DC power adapter is specifically designed to accept a certain AC input (usually the standard output from a 120 V AC outlet in your home) and convert it to a particular DC output. Likewise, each electronic device is specifically designed to accept a certain DC input. The key is to match the DC output of the adapter to the DC input of your device. Determining the outputs and inputs of your adapters and devices is the hard part. The circuit is a Hybrid Switching Regulator. Note that the input of the circuit has similar characteristics to the linear power supply. But with improved performance. Hybrid Switching Regulator 5V 500mA When equipment is human-accessible, voltage limits of ≤ 30 V (r.m.s.) AC or ≤ 42.4V peak or ≤ 60VDC and power limits of 250VA apply for safety certification ( UL, CSA, VDE approval).
Fudging It: What Happens if You Use the Wrong Adapter?
e.g., Samsung makes TVs, but doesn’t make wiring used inside their tvs or the power, AV, etc cords. Parts & supplies are outsourced from third party manufacturers. The neutral point clamped (NPC) topology is used in power supplies and active filters and is mentioned here for completeness. [40] This can be suppressed with capacitors and other filtering circuitry in the output stage. With a switched mode PSU the switching frequency can be chosen to keep the noise out of the circuits working frequency band (e.g., for audio systems above the range of human hearing)
With high quality extension leads and plenty of related products from top manufacturers such as Eveready and Energizer, you can feel confident that each of our items will be safe, durable and ideal for the job at hand. The operating frequency of an unloaded SMPS is sometimes in the audible human range and may sound subjectively quite loud for people whose hearing is very sensitive to the relevant frequency range. a b c Foutz, Jerrold. "Switching-Mode Power Supply Design Tutorial Introduction". Archived from the original on 2004-04-06 . Retrieved 2008-10-06. The heart of every switching power supply is the RF Regulator. Also known as the “Switching Regulator.” Pulse Width Modulation Switching Regulator In the past I experienced the same as you with 99% of universal or “multi-voltage” power adapters to be cheaply made with little to no documentation or practical information about how to use them with whatever electronic device you are trying to power until I found the ProTechTrader ones. They have instructions that are in a way similar to the post explaining the basic usage and how to properly match the voltage and amperage to the current needed by the device. They also had a nearly identical disclaimer as you mentioned as well as reversible polarity tips which I haven’t seen available on most of the others floating around. I have to see if I can find a link to the manual online somewhere to show you what I mean, but this post is excellent and goes into even more detail anyway. I got a few of the 30w ones here:

Current too high – If the adapter has the correct voltage, but the current is greater than what the device input requires, you shouldn’t see any problems. For example, if you have a laptop that calls for a 19V / 5A DC input, but you use a 19V / 8A DC adapter, your laptop will still get the 19V voltage it requires, but it will only draw 5A of current. As far as current goes, the device calls the shots, and the adapter will have to do less work.

But next week I have a device coming that also has a US 2 pin plug but is rated much lower than a set of hair straighteners, rated at 5v/2a. The important component is the diode, which is a type of semiconductor that allows current to flow through it only in one direction and out the other direction. In the process, any Alternative Current (AC) that flows through will also come out in the form of a Direct Current (DC). The coil and large rectangular yellow capacitor below the bridge rectifier form an EMI filter and are not part of the main circuit board. An adjustable switched-mode power supply for laboratory useNote that this is not perfect. When connected to a heavier load, the capacitor discharge cannot keep up with filling the gap anymore. If you multiply the voltage by the current, you get the wattage. But the number of watts alone won’t tell you if the adapter is right for your device. Reading an AC/DC Adapter Label
