Star of Energy Efficiency
Super Nova Award
Power Integrations, Inc.
For its innovative application of technology to dramatically reduce electricity waste and improve the efficiency of power supplies, Power Integrations will receive the Super Nova Star of Energy Efficiency Award. Power Integrations is a pioneer in the conversion of high-voltage alternating current to low-voltage direct current. The company’s integrated circuits (ICs), contained in everything from DVD players, desktop computers, cell phone chargers, adapters and much more, are responsible for an estimated $1.4 billion in energy savings and the reduction of more than 10 million tons of CO2 emissions.
Products using Power Integrations technology typically operate at efficiency levels exceeding 80 percent and consume up to 95 percent less standby power than conventional devices. In fact, the over 1 billion EcoSmart ICs currently in the market are accruing energy savings at a rate of more than $1 million per day and rising.
The availability and cost-effectiveness of Power Integrations’ EcoSmart technology has also encouraged manufacturers to produce energy-efficient power supplies and enabled regulators worldwide to implement energy-efficiency standards without imposing undue burdens on manufacturers. This advanced technology not only makes energy savings cost-effective and practical but functions as a catalyst for future energy-efficiency gains.
Power Integrations is an award winning company with over 200 registered patents and has been recognized repeatedly for its cutting edge energy-efficiency technology. The Super Nova Star of Energy Efficiency Award is presented in recognition of the company’s innovation, leadership, and commitment to making electronic products more efficient.
