Efficiency measurements

Table 1 shows the no load consumption and the overall efficiency, measured at the nominal

mains voltages. At 115 Vac the average efficiency is 89.8%, while at 230 Vac it is 91.5%.

Both values are significantly higher than the minimum required by EPA rev2.0 external

power supply limits (87%).

Measurements are also reported in Figure 3 for reference.

Even at no load the board performance is superior: maximum no load consumption at

nominal mains voltage is less than 200 mW; also this value is significantly lower than the

limit imposed by the ENERGY STAR program, which is 500 mW, and it can meet more

stringent requirements.
