As a part of its Power Focus Campaign, the distributor of largest selection of electronics components, Digi-Key Electronics collaborates with Power Integrations to offer Power Integrations’ InnoSwitch3 IC family with PowiGaN technology. Silicon Valley-based Power Integrations is an innovator in semiconductor technologies for high-voltage power conversion.
PowiGaN technology delivers high-impact performance for demanding consumer and industrial applications while simultaneously reducing energy consumption.
With more appliances relying on smart devices and power automation, the demand for higher-efficiency solutions with stronger thermal performance is rising. Hence GaN is fast replacing silicon.
Power Integrations has internally developed PowiGaN technology. It allows InnoSwitch3 ICs to achieve 95% efficiency across the full load range and up to 100 W in enclosed adapter implementations without heat sinks.
“We are excited to work with Digi-Key to make our InnoSwitch3 ICs available to such a broad, global audience,” says Trevor Hiatt, channel marketing director at Power Integrations. “GaN technology is revolutionizing the power electronics industry and the number of applications requiring PowiGaN levels of efficiency and integration is growing. Digi-Key’s ability to reach the worldwide engineering audience is invaluable in allowing us to support customers of any scale.”
David Stein, vice president of global supplier management at Digi-Key agrees: “This campaign with Power Integrations demonstrates our ongoing commitment to working with industry leaders to offer components that are more efficient, more compact and lighter than silicon alternatives, and will power faster, more efficient and diverse applications.”
