POWER INTEGRATIONS INC

We design, develop and market analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits ( ICs ) and other electronic components and circuitry used in high-voltage power conversion. Our products are used in power converters that convert electricity from a high-voltage source to the type of power required for a specified downstream use. In most cases, this conversion entails, among other functions, converting alternating current ( AC ) to direct current ( DC ) or vice versa, reducing or increasing the voltage, and regulating the output voltage and/or current according to the customer’s specifications. A large percentage of our products are ICs used in AC-DC power supplies, which convert the high-voltage AC from a wall outlet to the low-voltage DC required by most electronic devices. Power supplies incorporating our products are used with all manner of electronic products including industrial controls, smart utility meters, appliances, air conditioners, battery-powered tools, building-automation, or internet-of-things applications such as networked thermostats and security devices, and mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and notebook computers. Variations of our power-supply ICs are used for high-voltage power conversion in electric vehicles ( EVs ). We also supply high-voltage LED drivers, which are AC-DC ICs specifically designed for lighting applications that utilize light-emitting diodes, and motor-driver ICs for brushless DC ( BLDC ) motors used in consumer appliances, HVAC systems, ceiling fans and a variety of industrial applications.
