Hi friends,
I have experimented with new concepts for the conversion HV-AC/DC (110/230Vac --> 3Vdc) please see> https://www.researchgate.net/publication/357877607_The_Inductor-less_line_supply_for_MCU_-realizations
Mz question has TI an IC like TPS7A78xx without the input stage or two-stage flying cap converter with input-voltage about 14-15V<
best regards
