Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.

DC input power
the total DC or bias power dissipated in a circuit, which is usually dependent on signal amplitudes, expressed in watts. This may include input bias, bias filtering, regulators, control circuits, switching power supplies and any other circuitry required by the actual circuit. These considerations should be explicitly specified, as they will affect how efficiency calculations are performed.
