I'm looking for building a power supply circuit that will convert 230VAC to 5VDC in order to power up an Atmega328P. I also want this to be as small as possible.
I know a transformer is one option but since I want to shrink it I was concerned about using a 5.1V zener diode.
But how much heat will the the capacitor/diode produce? Is it more efficient to use a transformer instead?
