Marvell Technology Inc (MRVL)

According to Marvell they are first to market... if their power savings are true, they should be able to exercise some pricing power and get high GM and market share.

And for you engineering guys out there or just people who are curious: http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/34709/118/

This chip looks like it has TONNES of potential. Just the size reduction and cost of the power adaptor is enough. For companies like HP and Apple who take price in making computers sexy, they will eat this up.


Digital PFC Controllers

Smart Technology for Power Supplies

Marvell is the first to market with a DSP-based power factor correction (PFC) controller for AC-DC power supplies that are designed to significantly cut PC energy usage and help reduce the carbon footprint and the need to add more power plants. By integrating more functionality onto a single chip, an average of 20 discrete components traditionally used to build notebook adapters and desktop PC power supplies can be displaced. This allows OEMs to increase product reliability while reducing size and cost.
