SMPS Topologies

Gentlemen, What's the exact technical term for the switcher topology where you only have one large toroidal (typically) transformer right at the mains entry point which takes line AC and outputs it at a lower voltage level whereupon it's fed into the bridge rectifier and thence into a large storage cap whereupon it can be chopped up, regulated and finally filtered, there being no other transformers involved? thanks.

Resistor arrays start with "RA", though.

Nope. They're just a 'D'.
