The City of Chicago needs 700,000 MWh of electricity to power its 411 municipal buildings, and as of January 1, 2025, all of these buildings are powered by 100% renewable energy. That includes O'Hare Airport and two of the world's largest water treatment plants. Renewable energy facilities need rugged and reliable gate drivers, like PI's SCALE-iFlex LT NTC driver boards, which improve current sharing by 20%. They feature temperature readout, enabling accurate thermal management of converter systems. Learn more: https://okt.to/W3Xf4a

This design evaluation board is for a 24 W power supply for PC monitors. It features a 5V CV output and four independently regulated CC outputs for LED strings. An InnoMux2-BL switcher IC allows better than 3% regulation for all outputs without the need for additional DC-DC converters. Download the design example report here - https://okt.to/hbmdJa

This interesting new article by Automotive Industries breaks down the push towards 800 V battery systems in the EV industry. It also explains why 1700 V-rated InnoSwitch3-AQ switcher ICs from Power Integrations are a perfect fit for compact, efficient uDC-DC converter designs in an 800 V electric vehicle.

#SolarGrazing is gaining momentum in many places around the world. The shade of solar panels makes sheep feel more comfortable and helps grass grow faster. In return, grazing sheep keep the solar panels clear of weeds. Power Integrations is a big proponent of innovative methods to enhance the efficiency of renewable energy generation, like our SCALE-iFlex XLT single-board gate drivers that increase module utilization by up to 30%. https://okt.to/wKNM8v

The world's largest vehicle carrier is a whopping 219m long and 37.7m wide. It can ferry up to 9,200 cars over water. With the aggressive overseas expansion of Chinese EV makers, more and more battery-powered cars remain idle on carriers for long ocean voyages. A low-standby-consumption uDC-DC converter can keep all the electric subsystems active for extended periods of time, preventing the battery pack from depleting before the car needs to be driven off the ship. Automotive-qualified InnoSwitch3-AQ switcher ICs from PI are the perfect fit for such uDC-DC converters. Learn more here - https://okt.to/sDOg6M
