Hi,

I have a protection circuit that needs to alarm when a fuse blows. The alarm needs to be a 9vdc 105db 8mA buzzer that is driven from a 120Vac power supply. I have no other load on this portion of the circuit. I do not have any room for a small transformer. Is this possible to do?? I have room for a full bridge rectifier to get my dc. How can I step down the voltage from 120 to 9 and for heat dispensing is it better to step down in ac or dc?
Thanks for any help.
