Power Supply Conversion Efficiency<br />

• PS conversion efficiency is a function of load and<br />

$$<br />

− higher load= better efficiency<br />

• 0-50% load = 60% efficient<br />

• 50-80% = 89-92% efficiency<br />

− Higher costs = better efficiency<br />

• +92% efficient = +50% increase in cost<br />

• Higher native power supply efficiency is not cost<br />

effective nor necessarily possible<br />

• Key to better thermal efficiency in power<br />

subsystems lies with how the power supplies are<br />
