    • In March 2026, Power Integrations launched its TOPSwitchGaN flyback IC family, using PowiGaN technology to push flyback converter power capability up to 440 W while improving efficiency, cutting thermal requirements, and lowering system complexity and cost for applications like high-end appliances, e-bike chargers, and industrial power supplies.
