Products That Are Good for the Planet
Sustainability at Power Integrations starts with our products. Our integrated circuits reduce electricity waste in electronic products, delivering meaningful reductions in carbon emissions. Our gate drivers are critical components in renewable energy, electric transportation and efficient long-distance transmission of electricity. We reduce e-waste by eliminating billions of electronic components each year through integration.
We have made sustainability an integral part of our culture and operations, using renewable energy in our facilities, designing products with low-impact materials and working with manufacturing partners holding environmental certifications.

Estimated Energy Savings from EcoSmart Devices
Note on methodology: Chips assumed to enter service 8 weeks after sale and remain in service for 5 years. Standby consumption of EcoSmart chips varies by product family, with a range of 0.05 W to 0.3 W. Competing power supplies include line-frequency transformers, RCC discretes, standard PWM control and low-standby PWM control, with standby consumption ranging from 1.5 W to 0.1 W.
The energy saved by EcoSmart technology is just one benefit of Power Integrations’ products. Our products are key enablers of a wide variety of clean technologies:
System Solution with PowiGaN Delivers Superior Efficiency

Reducing E-waste and Energy Use through Integration
Because of our unmatched level of integration, our products drastically reduce the number of electronic components used in power supplies. Each of our ICs eliminates numerous components such as resistors, diodes, transistors and capacitors compared to alternative designs. Similarly, each of our gate drivers can eliminate hundreds of components.
With nearly two billion ICs and more than a million gate drivers shipped annually, PI products are eliminating billions of electronics components each year, not only conserving raw materials and the energy used to manufacture these components but also reducing e-waste.
