Audio/video recording and communication doorbell devices including transistor assemblies, and associated systems and methods
First Claim
1. An audio/video (A/V) recording and communication doorbell device, comprising:
- a transistor assembly electrically coupled between an input power bus that distributes at least one of an alternating current (AC) input power and a direct current (DC) input power, and an output power bus that provides a DC output power for the A/V recording and communication doorbell device; and
control circuitry configured to cause the transistor assembly to convert the at least one of the AC input power and the DC input power from the input power bus to the DC output power into the output power bus, to provide the DC output power for the A/V recording and communication doorbell device.

Abstract
An audio/video (A/V) recording and communication doorbell device includes a transistor assembly and control circuitry. The transistor assembly is electrically coupled between an input power bus that distributes alternating current (AC) input power and/or direct current (DC) input power, and an output power bus that provides a DC output power for the A/V recording and communication doorbell device. The control circuitry is configured to cause the transistor assembly to convert AC input power and/or DC input power from the input power bus to the DC output power into the output power bus, to provide the DC output power for the A/V recording and communication doorbell device.
