From its early roots to 2026: the Power Integrations story
Power Integrations was founded in 1988 by Klas Eklund, Art Fury and Steve Sharp to improve high-voltage power-conversion electronics.
How Power Integrations developed
The company’s TOPSwitch family, introduced commercially in 1994, integrated functions that previously required multiple components in switched-mode power supplies. Power Integrations went public in 1997 and continued developing increasingly efficient high-voltage semiconductor products.
Power Integrations in 2026
By 2026, it supplied analog and mixed-signal ICs and related technologies for AC-DC power conversion, gate driving and high-voltage applications.
Why the history matters
Power Integrations matters because power electronics directly affect the efficiency, size and heat of chargers, appliances, industrial systems and data-centre equipment even though the chips are largely invisible to end users.
