Efficiency Challenge Winners Announced at APEC 2005 -2-
When the contest was first announced at APEC 2004, the intent was to showcase highly efficient technologies and foster their success in the marketplace. Since then, the Energy Commission passed mandatory standards in December 2004 and the EPA's ENERGY STAR® program launched a voluntary labeling specification in January 2005 both for external power supplies. Most of the winning entries not only meet those programs' requirements, but also go well beyond them, cutting energy bills for the devices they power. More than 3.1 billion power supplies are currently in use in the United States, consuming about 3 percent to 4 percent of the nation's electricity bill. More efficient designs could cut total U.S. electricity use by 1 percent to 2 percent, saving $2.5 billion to $5 billion per year, according to research by Ecos Consulting. "The vision for Efficiency Challenge was to achieve dramatic improvements in the energy efficiency of the most widely purchased types of power supplies," said Art Rosenfeld, California Energy Commissioner and presiding member of its research and development committee. "We congratulate the winners in the Market Ready Category for leading their industry, and applaud the winners in the Open Category for demonstrating what is possible in the future." "EPA invested in Efficiency Challenge to encourage power supply innovations that will lead to more energy-efficient ENERGY STAR consumer and office electronic products," said Andrew Fanara of the EPA's ENERGY STAR program, who unveiled the ENERGY STAR specification for energy-efficient external power supplies on Jan. 6. "These more energy-efficient designs will save energy and money while also helping to combat the risk of global warming." Efficiency Challenge 2004 also marked an unusual collaboration between industry and government. The Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA) endorsed the contest, and several companies from the industry provided key support: · ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN) provided technical assistance and sample parts to university teams submitting entries, as well as financial awards totaling $8,500 for winning submissions (see www.onsemi.com). · Yokogawa served as the official metering sponsor, providing its WT1600 six-channel digital power meter for testing entries. · Intel, Sony and Pace Micro served as Industry Champions for the competition, providing suggested form factors, loading guidelines and other market-relevant design constraints for several internal power supply categories.

Power supplies are devices that convert incoming AC (alternating current) power from wall outlets into low voltage DC (direct current) power needed for numerous consumer and office electronic products, such as cellular and cordless phones, computers, televisions, etc. The EPA's ENERGY STAR program and the Energy Commission's Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) program have identified AC-DC power supplies as a major opportunity for reducing global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Highly efficient power supplies offer powerful advantages to consumers. They tend to be much smaller and lighter than typical power supplies, increasing portability and convenience. They produce very little waste heat as well, so rarely require noisy cooling fans. EPA estimates that efficient external power supplies alone could save the United States 5 billion kWh per year, equivalent to preventing the emissions of 700,000 cars.

Power Integrations to Participate in Seventh Annual Congressional Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Caucus
EcoSmart® Technology Now Estimated to Be Reducing Electricity Bills by More Than $1 Million Per Day
SAN JOSE, Calif. - September 1, 2004 - Power Integrations, Inc. (NASDAQ: POWI), the leading supplier of high-voltage analog integrated circuits used in power conversion and the inventor of EcoSmart® energy-efficiency technology, announced today that it has been selected to participate in the Seventh Annual Congressional Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Caucus (EXPO). The event is to be held on Tuesday, September 7, 2004 at the Cannon House Office Building in Washington, D.C. Power Integrations will exhibit its EcoSmart semiconductor technology, which dramatically reduces the amount of electricity consumed by many common household and industrial products. Many electronic products continue to consume electricity even when turned "off." This so-called "standby" energy waste is due to inefficiency in the power supplies that convert electricity from a wall outlet to the type of power needed by the device. Standby energy waste occurs in such common products as DVD players, TV set-top boxes, cordless phones, home appliances, and battery chargers for portable electronic devices such as cell phones. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory estimates that more than 10 percent of residential electricity use is wasted on standby power. EcoSmart technology virtually eliminates standby power waste by dramatically reducing the flow of electricity into a device when it enters standby mode (such as when a television set is turned off by remote control). Since the introduction of EcoSmart in 1998, manufacturers have built more than a billion electronic devices using power supplies with EcoSmart integrated circuits. As a result, consumers and businesses worldwide are saving at an estimated rate of more than $1 million per day in electricity costs, and carbon dioxide emissions are being reduced by millions of tons per year. "As the number of power-hungry electronic products continues to grow, it is becoming increasingly important to reduce the amount of energy wasted by outdated, inefficient power supplies," said Balu Balakrishnan, president and CEO of Power Integrations. "Our EcoSmart technology is a simple, cost-effective way for manufacturers to offer advanced, feature-rich electronics while saving consumers and nations the high cost of wasted energy." Power Integrations was awarded the 1999 Discover Award for Technological Innovation for the environmental benefits of its energy-saving TinySwitch family of integrated circuits, the first of the company's products to incorporate EcoSmart technology. In June 2001, Balakrishnan demonstrated EcoSmart technology at the White House for President Bush and Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham. The following month, President Bush issued an executive order requiring all federal government purchases of electronic devices to comply with a one-watt standby requirement. Power Integrations' integrated circuits with EcoSmart allow manufacturers to build products that cost-effectively meet this one-watt requirement and comply with all other current and proposed standards aimed at reducing energy waste. Details on the EXPO The Seventh Annual Congressional Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Caucus will bring together more than 50 companies from across the United States representing more than two-dozen renewable-energy and energy-efficiency technologies. Power Integrations is the only semiconductor company scheduled to participate. The EXPO is co-sponsored by the members of the Sustainable Energy Coalition and the House and Senate Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Caucuses. The event was previously scheduled to take place in June, but was postponed due to the death of President Reagan. The EXPO will be held from 11:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 7, 2004 in the Caucus Room - Room 345 of the Cannon House Office Building, U.S. House of Representatives, 1st Street & Independence Avenue, S.E.; Washington, D.C. The EXPO is free-of-charge and open to the public; no reservations or RSVPs are required.

EcoSmart(R) Technology Now Estimated to Be Reducing Electricity Bills by More Than $1 Million Per Day SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Power Integrations, Inc. (Nasdaq: POWI), the leading supplier of high-voltage analog integrated circuits used in power conversion and the inventor of EcoSmart(R) energyefficiency technology, announced today that it has been selected to participate in the Seventh Annual Congressional Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Caucus (EXPO). The event is to be held on Tuesday, September 7, 2004 at the Cannon House Office Building in Washington, D.C. Power Integrations will exhibit its EcoSmart semiconductor technology, which dramatically reduces the amount of electricity consumed by many common household and industrial products. Many electronic products continue to consume electricity even when turned "off." This so-called "standby" energy waste is due to inefficiency in the power supplies that convert electricity from a wall outlet to the type of power needed by the device. Standby energy waste occurs in such common products as DVD players, TV set-top boxes, cordless phones, home appliances, and battery chargers for portable electronic devices such as cell phones. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory estimates that more than 10 percent of residential electricity use is wasted on standby power. EcoSmart technology virtually eliminates standby power waste by dramatically reducing the flow of electricity into a device when it enters standby mode (such as when a television set is turned off by remote control). Since the introduction of EcoSmart in 1998, manufacturers have built more than a billion electronic devices using power supplies with EcoSmart integrated circuits. As a result, consumers and businesses worldwide are saving at an estimated rate of more than $1 million per day in electricity costs, and carbon dioxide emissions are being reduced by millions of tons per year. "As the number of power-hungry electronic products continues to grow, it is becoming increasingly important to reduce the amount of energy wasted by outdated, inefficient power supplies," said Balu Balakrishnan, president and CEO of Power Integrations. "Our EcoSmart technology is a simple, costeffective way for manufacturers to offer advanced, feature-rich electronics while saving consumers and nations the high cost of wasted energy." Power Integrations was awarded the 1999 Discover Award for Technological Innovation for the environmental benefits of its energy-saving TinySwitch family of integrated circuits, the first of the company's products to incorporate EcoSmart technology. In June 2001, Balakrishnan demonstrated EcoSmart technology at the White House for President Bush and Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham. The following month, President Bush issued an executive order requiring all federal government purchases of electronic devices to comply with a one-watt standby requirement. Power Integrations' integrated circuits with EcoSmart allow manufacturers to build products that cost-effectively meet this one-watt
