Power Integrations has received a 2006 ENERGY STAR award. The award recognizes the company for its EcoSmart™ technology, which reduces energy consumption in a wide range of electronic products. Power Integrations is the first analog semiconductor company chosen to receive an ENERGY STAR award. The company accepted the award at a ceremony yesterday in Washington, D.C.
"This award recognizes Power Integrations for its innovative energy-efficiency technology, which is enabling the power electronics industry to deliver efficient solutions for an increasingly diverse range of products used in everyday life," said Andrew Fanara, ENERGY STAR team leader.
"We are honored that Power Integrations has been chosen to receive an ENERGY STAR award," said Balu Balakrishnan, president and CEO of Power Integrations. "Our EcoSmart products support the goals of ENERGY STAR by making energy efficiency easy and cost-effective for both manufacturers and consumers. We have already saved consumers more than $1.4 billion on their energy bills, and a substantial portion of those savings have come from products bearing the ENERGY STAR label."
Power Integrations' integrated circuits with EcoSmart technology help manufacturers earn the ENERGY STAR label on a wide range of products such as computer equipment, TVs, DVD players, home appliances and ac adapters. EcoSmart technology intelligently manages the flow of power through the power supply, reducing the amount of energy consumed during normal operation as well as standby and no-load modes.
