⚡️Why are pwm switching ICs called off-line power supplies?⁉️

Papabravo said:

IMHO it means that the input is coming from the 'lines' belonging to the electrical utility. In most of the world that would mean an AC input source of 240 VAC(rms). In North America it would be 120 VAC(rms). Offline is short for "off of the power lines"

I used to have a friend who disappeared after bad things happened, but before my father showed up. I would always blame the disaster on my "little friend who wasn't there".
