Power Integrations, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures, and markets analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs), and other electronic components and circuitry used in high-voltage power conversion worldwide. The company provides a range of alternating current to direct current power conversion products that address power supply ranging from less than one watt of output to approximately 500 watts of output for mobile-device chargers, consumer appliances, utility meters, LCD monitors, main and standby power supplies for desktop computers and TVs, LED lighting, and various other consumer and industrial applications, as well as power conversion in high-power applications comprising industrial motors, solar and wind-power systems, electric vehicles, and high-voltage DC transmission systems. It also offers high-voltage diodes; high-voltage gate-driver products used to operate high-voltage switches, such as insulated-gate bipolar transistors and silicon-carbide MOSFETs under the SCALE and SCALE-2 product-family names; and SCALE-iDriver for use in powertrain and charging applications for electric vehicles. In addition, the company provides motor-driver ICs for use in refrigerator compressors, ceiling fans, and air purifiers, as well as pumps, fans, and blowers used in consumer appliances, such as dishwashers and laundry machines. It serves communications, computer, consumer, and industrial markets. The company sells its products to original equipment manufacturers and merchant power supply manufacturers through direct sales force, as well as a network of independent sales representatives and distributors. Power Integrations, Inc. was incorporated in 1988 and is headquartered in San Jose, California.

SCALE EV gate driver boards provide a full range of functional safety features and simplify design for automotive applications. Without the use of additional hardware, SCALE EV offers active discharge, active short circuit function and pre-testing of short circuit detection. PI's Michael Hornkamp explains how SCALE EV achieves this high level of integration:

The new 2SP0230 dual-channel gate driver boards with advanced protection features can work with 62 mm SiC and IGBT modules up to 1700 V. These scalable, plug-and-play drivers reduce system design and sourcing challenges for railway, EV charging and STATCOM applications. #GateDrivers

PI Expert, our powerful design tool, creates a complete Bill of Materials (BOM) as you work on your design. It shows you which distributors have parts available in real time and lets you search for alternatives for out-of-stock parts. Trevor Hiatt demonstrates how to generate a ready-to-build BOM within minutes.

Detroit just became the first city in the U.S. to open a wireless-charging public roadway. A quarter mile of 14th Street in Detroit’s historic Corktown neighborhood now has copper coils installed below the road surface that can charge specially equipped electrics cars either when parked or driving in-motion. PI is fueling the EV revolution with our 900 V GaN-based InnoSwitch3-AQ switcher ICs, providing an efficient and reliable solution to power all the 12 V electric systems in an EV.
