Anybody got a short cut that will deliver maybe 100 milliamps? I don't want to use E cores. I would like to use a small toroid transformer. I only need to power a 6 pin PIC processor and a transistor to switch an SCR that will trip a solenoid actuated switch. The AC will power the solenoid directly through the SCR.
I'm hoping I can find a cheap chip that will take a direct AC input and using maybe, only a toroid and a tantalum cap I got about 6 volts at 100mA.
