Although this is not part of any professional dc ac converter it can be used quite effective on some home appliances. Be aware that the output signal is square and not sine wave. So you cannot use it ...

A power tip that discusses how to address highly integrated USB PD charger design constraints with a self-biasing circuit.

And, if this is your first introduction to switched-mode power supplies, check out this in-depth look at the similar buck converter circuit to better understand what’s going on behind the scenes ...

Enphase Microinverters convert solar power from DC to AC energy to power homes and charge vehicles, and it now has two new facilities in the U.S.

That means each device needs to convert AC power to DC, as well as reducing the voltage to the much lower levels used in digital circuits.
