Table 6 shows the measured value of the burst mode related ripple measured in different

operating conditions. The measured ripple in burst mode operation is very low and always

below 25 mV.

Efficiency

The efficiency of the converter was measured in different load and line voltage conditions.

measurements were done with full load and with 75%, 50%, and 25% of the full load for

different input voltages, seeTable 7.

The results were plotted in the following figures for better visibility. Figure 13 shows the

versus load for different input voltages.
