I am required to build a buck converter which would be able to convert 230V AC to 210V DC with 25mA load current. I am having significant trouble designing the controlling part for the converter.
1. I need to know some widely available and used controller ICs used for feedback control.
2. I also want to know how I can provide Vcc to the controller IC by converting the 230V AC to a voltage close to 5V DC.
3. For comparison purposes I think I would need to convert the 210V output voltage to a lower voltage that a controller IC can manage. I initially thought of using a voltage divider, but am worried that the accuracy of the output voltage would be lowered due to low tolerance values in the resistors.
Can I know what other methods are available for doing this (since it is hard for me to find good quality resistors in my country)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am close to clueless at the moment.
