Regarding low-power power supplies, I would like to talk about the cost issue and how to reduce costs![Copy link]
Let's take a look at the basic specifications of low-power power supplies and chargers!

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 RCC SCH: 500) {this.resized=true; this.width=500; this.alt='This is a thumbnail, click to enlarge. \nPress CTRL and scroll the mouse wheel to zoom freely';this.style.cursor='hand'}" resized="true"> 1) No PWM IC ($0.1 - $0.2) 2) NPN Switch ($0.025) PWM SCH: 500) {this.resized=true; this.width=500; this.alt='This is a thumbnail, click to enlarge. \nPress CTRL and scroll the mouse wheel to zoom freely';this.style.cursor='hand'}" resized="true"> 1) PWM IC + MOSFET ($0.1-0.2 + $0.125) 2) Integrated Switch High Voltage Switch 500) {this.resized=true; this.width=500; this.alt='This is a thumbnail, click to enlarge. \nPress CTRL and scroll the mouse wheel to zoom freely';this.style.cursor='hand'}"> 1) Cost ($0.125 vs 0.025) 2) Efficiency 3) EMI Emitter Switching Topology 500) {this.resized=true; this.width=500; this.alt='This is a thumbnail, click to enlarge.\nPress CTRL and scroll the mouse wheel to zoom freely';this.style.cursor='hand'}" resized="true"> Base Switching 1) Slow turn-off 2) VCEO blocking rating (450V for MJE13003) Emitter Switching 1) Fast turn-off 2) VCBO blocking rating (700V for MJE13003) EST Advantages 1) Fast turn-off time 2) VCBO blocking voltage rating 3) Low High Frequency EMI ? No Y-cap

Using triodes as switching tubes for low power can reduce the cost by 20% to 40% compared to using MOSFET! The performance is relatively stable and reliable compared to RCC! 500) {this.resized=true; this.width=500; this.alt='This is a thumbnail, click to enlarge. \nPress CTRL and scroll the mouse wheel to zoom freely';this.style.cursor='hand'}" resized="true">
