Example:
Consider a typical American household
loses electric power only a few minutes a
year. Energy is available 99.999% of the
time. A converter must be better than this
to prevent system degradation. An ideal
converter implementation will not suffer
any failures over its application lifetime.
Extreme high reliability can be more
difficult objective than high efficiency.

current;
A nonzero on-state voltage drop (such as a diode
forward voltage);
Some levels of leakage current when the device is
suppose to be off;
Limitations on the voltage that can be applied when
off;
Operating speed. The duration of transistion between
the on-states and off-states is important.
