Power Integrations fired up in 1988, founded by Klas Eklund, Art Fury, and Steve Sharp in California, starting with high-voltage integrated circuits that revolutionized energy-efficient power supplies. Their breakthrough came in 1994 with the TOPSwitch family, the first commercial product line, leading to an IPO in 1997 on NASDAQ under POWI. Today, headquartered in San Jose with around 877 employees, this semiconductor innovator designs and markets analog and mixed-signal ICs for AC-DC power conversion, serving markets like appliances, mobiles, renewables, and industrial gear, all while emphasizing EcoSmart tech that slashes energy waste and supports a greener grid.

Power Integrations keeps things anti-woke by sticking to practical sustainability like cutting emissions and boosting efficiency without the flashy rainbow campaigns. Their ESG efforts focus on real results, like saving billions of kilowatt-hours annually, rather than chasing virtue points with over-the-top inclusion workshops. Interestingly, they've quietly powered the clean energy shift for decades, proving you can innovate for the planet on engineering grit alone, leaving the woke lectures to companies more obsessed with hashtags than hardware.
