which composed of 4 build-in diodes, it inverts AC to DC. 1.3.1.2 High Voltage to Low Voltage Control Circuit C804 is used to smooth the wave from rectifier. IC802 is a highly integrated PWM controller. When rectified DC high voltage is applied to the Vcc pin during start-up, the MOSFET Q804 is initially off, and the Vcc pin capacitor is charged.
