About Power Integrations INC

Power Integrations, Inc. (ticker: POWI) is a United States-based semiconductor company listed on the NASDAQ, with headquarters in San Jose, California. The company specializes in high-voltage power-conversion integrated circuits, a critical layer of technology for energy-efficient electronics, industrial equipment, and power infrastructure. Founded in 1988 by Klas Eklund, Art Fury, and Steve Sharp, Power Integrations first established its franchise with the TOPSwitch family, its first commercial product launched in 1994. Over time, the company has become a recognized name in switched-mode power supplies, focusing on lower energy loss, higher system integration, smaller form factors, and improved reliability. ([power.com](https://www.power.com/company?utm_source=openai)) Its core business centers on high-voltage ICs used in AC-DC power supplies, converters, chargers, motor and industrial control, and other energy-management applications. The portfolio includes well-known product families such as InnoSwitch, TinySwitch, HiperLCS, and PowiGaN, along with reference designs and engineering kits that help customers shorten design cycles and accelerate adoption. This mix of devices and design support makes the company particularly relevant to original equipment manufacturers across industrial, consumer, telecom, automotive, and data-center end markets.

Its edge comes from proprietary technology, deep expertise in high-efficiency power conversion, and a broad installed base of OEM relationships. Management positions the company as a leader in high-voltage, energy-saving power ICs, and that positioning is increasingly relevant as electrification, grid modernization, AI data centers, and higher-power computing systems drive demand for more efficient power architectures. ([investors.power.com](https://investors.power.com/news/news-details/2026/Power-Integrations-Reports-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-Financial-Results/default.aspx?utm_source=openai)) The company has a global commercial footprint, although it remains a clearly American issuer with a U.S. corporate base and a NASDAQ listing. Recent financial and strategic updates point to improving momentum: in 2025, revenue increased 6% year over year to $443.5 million, with industrial sales leading the rebound. In early 2026, Power Integrations also announced a global workforce reduction of about 7% as part of a restructuring effort aimed at aligning expenses with revenue and preserving investment capacity. Recent product and technology highlights include advanced PowiGaN solutions for 800 V AI data centers, 800 V automotive reference designs, and new GaN and flyback IC launches targeting higher power levels and better efficiency.
