AC/AC - AC/AC power adapters are simple step-down low voltage transformers, accepting AC input and providing a certain voltage AC output. There are no other active or passive components. With no line regulation at all, an AC/AC adapters output voltage is proportional to the input voltage. AC/AC do have a small amount of load regulation, with the transformer windings being a significant part of the load.
