Power Integrations Inc

Power Integrations, Inc. is a global leader in the development, manufacturing, and sale of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs), alongside other essential electronic components and circuitry. Their primary expertise lies in delivering solutions for high-voltage power conversion worldwide. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of alternating current to direct current (AC-DC) power conversion products. These solutions cover a broad power range, from outputs of less than one watt up to approximately 500 watts. They are integral to numerous applications such as mobile device chargers, various consumer appliances (including utility meters, LCD monitors, and power supplies for desktop computers and televisions), and LED lighting. Furthermore, Power Integrations also provides specialized high-power conversion technologies for demanding industrial applications like industrial motors, solar and wind energy systems, electric vehicles, and high-voltage DC transmission systems. Beyond AC-DC converters, their product lineup includes high-voltage diodes and advanced high-voltage gate-driver products. These gate drivers, marketed under the SCALE and SCALE-2 families, are crucial for operating high-voltage switches such as insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) and silicon-carbide (SiC) MOSFETs. A specific offering, SCALE-iDriver, is tailored for powertrain and charging applications within the electric vehicle sector. The company also designs motor-driver ICs, which are vital for the efficient operation of components in household appliances, including refrigerator compressors, ceiling fans, air purifiers, and the pumps, fans, and blowers found in dishwashers and laundry machines. Power Integrations serves diverse markets, encompassing communications, computing, consumer electronics, and industrial sectors. They primarily reach their customers, consisting of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and merchant power supply producers, through a direct sales force supplemented by an extensive network of independent sales representatives and distributors. Established in 1988, Power Integrations, Inc. maintains its corporate headquarters in San Jose, California.
