1. A voltage rectifying and smoothing circuit comprising:
- a rectifier circuit which rectifies an input alternating current (ac) voltage and converts said ac voltage to a rectified voltage;
a voltage control circuit connected directly to said rectifier circuit and which directly receives said rectified voltage in an unsmoothed form from said rectifier circuit said voltage control circuit functioning to produce a voltage control circuit output voltage that is not higher than a predetermined voltage level; and
a smoothing circuit directly connected to said voltage control circuit output voltage for smoothing said voltage control circuit output voltage.

Abstract
A voltage rectifying and smoothing circuit for use in a regulated power supply circuit which converts an ac voltage to a constant dc voltage. A voltage control circuit, which prevents the production of a voltage higher than a predetermined voltage, is connected to a rectifier circuit which rectifies an input ac current to convert it to a rectified voltage. The voltage smoothing circuit is connected on the output side of the voltage control circuit.
