AN4165 Light-load performance
Doc ID 023661 Rev 1 19/37
The input power vs. input voltage for no load and light load condition (
Ta bl e 7
,

and
10
) are
shown in the figure below.

at no load and light load
It’s possible to have several criteria to measure the standby or light load performance of a
converter. One criterion is the measurement of the output power when the input power is
equal to one watt. In
Table 11
the output power needed to have 1 W of input power in
different line conditions is given.
Figure 22
shows the output power corresponding to P
IN
= 1
W for different values of the input voltage.
