Products to meet latest efficiency and no-load standards

CamSemi products are perfect for manufacturers developing low cost, high performance external and embedded SMPS solutions to meet and easily beat the very latest energy efficiency standards.

For example: this graph shows how designs with C2470 RDFC and C2160 PSS controllers easily exceed Energy Star 2.0 requirements with very significant margins.

All solutions offer high active mode efficiencies and ultra-low no-load power consumptions to comply with:

Energy Star version 2.0 – introduced 1 November 2008.
EC Regulation 278/2009
Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 – standards on power supplies became US federal law on 1 July 2008 (includes California Energy Commission regulations).
EU EPS code of conduct, version 4 - published April 2009.

For more information on the techniques CamSemi uses to enable high efficiencies and low no-load power consumption, such as zero-voltage switching and low voltage CMOS process, see our efficiency bulletin.

All CamSemi products are designed to help manufacturers introduce low cost, more energy-efficient power conversion products. And to provide additional features that:

cut component counts;
reduce BOM costs;
simplify designs;
speed up standard and regulatory approvals;
and improve the flexibility of manufacturing processes.
