Power Integrations offers a range of power conversion ICs that can provide reliable, efficient, low cost power solutions for audio power applications. Capable of supporting peak power requirements in excess of three times average power requirements with no increase in transformer size, the PeakSwitch® product family is ideal for supporting applications with large peak loads, such as:
- Audio amplifiers
- Computer audio
- Home theater
- MP3 music players
- MP3 audio systems
- Digital radio applications
The table below describes which family of PI ICs is suited for a typical application. Where product families overlap, selection of the best device can be facilitated by use of PI Expert™ software, available here.
