Dow Jones Description
Power Integrations, Inc., founded in 1988, is the leading supplier of high-voltage analog integrated circuits (ICs) used in power conversion. Power Integrations ICs enable compact, lightweight power supplies that are simpler to design and manufacture, more reliable, and more energy-efficient than those made with competing technologies. Our ICs power a vast range of consumer and industrial electronics-computers, DVD players, TV set-top boxes, cell phone chargers, home appliances, telecom networking equipment, and many others. Power Integrations has pioneered the field of integrated-circuit technology for the power conversion market: - Our TOPSwitch product family, introduced in 1994, was the first-ever IC to cost-effectively integrate a high-voltage power switch, or MOSFET, and low-voltage control circuitry on a single, monolithic chip. - Our TinySwitch family of ICs, introduced in 1998, was the first to feature our EcoSmart energy-efficiency technology, which dramatically reduces the amount of energy wasted by electronic devices. - Our LinkSwitch product family, introduced in 2002, is the first cost-effective integrated solution designed to replace linear power supplies, also known as "energy vampires." - Our PeakSwitchTM products, introduced in 2006, are the first monolithic power-conversion ICs with peak-mode operation. ...
