National's SolarMagic™ technology recoups up to 50 percent of the lost energy, dramatically improving the economics in shaded and other real-world conditions.
RD-166 - Load-detecting Power Supply
Help reduce wasted energy from inefficient AC/DC wall adapters that continue to run even without a load. This reference design utilizes a switching-mode power supply (SMPS) technology in place of linear regulators to drastically improve conversion efficiency.
