Linear
1) Low cost (< $0.3 PCBA for 5W)
2) Large size & heavy
3) Single line Input
4) Not meeting Green Mode
Switching Mode
1) Higher Cost (> $0.5 PCBA for 5W)
2) Universal line input
3) Meet Energy star, blue angel, CEC
4) EMI
RCC
1) Lowest cost
2) Variable Frequency
3) Inconsistent performance
PWM
1) $0.1 – $0.2 more than RCC
2) Fixed frequency
3) Consistent green mode & EMI
