AC to DC Converter using MC34161

This AC to DC converter circuit is capable to convert an alternative voltage from 70 – 260 Vac into a DC voltage from 180 to 250 Vdc.
To achieve this convertion we use a rectifier MC34161 as a voltage doubler at low input voltages and as a classic rectifier at high input voltages.
MC34161 includes a reference power supply which delivers 2.54V at pin 1. The signal level applied at pin 2 is internally compared with a 1.27V voltage.
D5 zener diode, togheter with R1 and C4 provide IC’s required 12V voltage. Capacitor’s voltage of C2 and C3 must be > 250V. [...]
