For 25W adapters, simply replacing the IC itself will boost efficiency to over 87% (compared with sub-87% with conventional products). This can be increased to over 90% by optimizing the circuit (including selecting the right peripheral components). As a result, the ICs easily pass the new EnergyStar 6 requirements for efficiency.

Power consumption during standby with a 25W adapter is less than 20mW at 100VAC and less than 30mW at 230VAC - well below the 100mW requirement set by the Energy Star 6 standard. And further improvements are possible through circuit optimization.

With planar-type MOSFETs commonly used in AC/DC applications, miniaturization is typically difficult due to problems associated with heat dissipation. In contrast, adopting a super junction MOSFET allows for a more compact IC design, including a small surface mount SOP8 package to complement the standard DIP7 type. The SOP8 form factor reduces mounting area by 47% over conventional models.
