"Second-quarter revenues rebounded as expected, and while demand continues to be soft and visibility is limited, we expect another sequential increase in the third quarter driven by lower distributor inventories and new design wins. We also expect a further increase in our gross margin driven by the favorable dollar/yen exchange rate and higher manufacturing volumes." - Balu Balakrishnan, Chairman and CEO of Power Integrations
