Abstract

A device and method(s) for implementing an AC line-powered primary-tap switching power supply which is easily or automatically switchable between a first configuration which supports a first input voltage, e.g., a 120 VAC input voltage, and a second configuration which supports a second input voltage, e.g., a 240 VAC input voltage, which is an integer multiple of the first input voltage, is described.
