How the tier was reached

  1. MISSED

    Tier A - reference classspec 12.9

    • Primary conversion stage: Legacy primary topology (DF)
    • Minor rail regulation: Independent-ish regulation (DMA)
    • Efficiency certification: Bronze class efficiency
    • Too many warnings for this tier (2)
    • Too many failed criteria for this tier (1)
  2. MISSED

    Tier B - strong mainstreamspec 12.10

    • Primary conversion stage: Legacy primary topology (DF)
    • Too many failed criteria for this tier (1)
  3. MET

    Tier C - adequatespec 12.11

  • Weighted pass ratio 68%, 3 warning(s), confidence 74%
