We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Standby power consumption",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release External supplies meet green standby standards from
Ideal Power, which we summarised at the time by saying "Models available vary from 5 to 150W, all meeting the latest California Energy Commission requirements for low standby power consumption".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Transmitters and bridge enable new HD link from
Silicon Image: "The Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) enables consumers to connect mobile devices directly to digital televisions".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Silicon Image
concerning its PinnaClear SiI9223 and SiI9127 receivers
- take a look at Multimedia receivers provide vibrant colours
which says: "The SiI9223 supports Silicon Image's MHL, enabling mobile devices such as digital cameras and camera phones to connect to and display high-definition content on digital televisions".
Take a look also at the news release from Texas Instruments (April 2006-), MCUs cut control system complexity and power,
as well as MCUs offer flexible approach enhancement from Renesas Technology Europe,
and Software puts receivers into hibernation from Ocean Blue.
