Abstract
A power adapter is provided to supply electric power from an alternating current from an alternating current (AC) power supply to a powered apparatus. It includes a switchable capacitor circuit housed within a housing and including: a first switch path associated with a positive half cycle of the alternating current and a second switch path associated with a negative half cycle of the alternating current, both coupled across the AC power supply. Each switch path includes a switchable capacitor in series with a switch.
