iW1676
Low Power Off-Line Digital Green-Mode PWM Controller
1 Description
The iW1676 is a high performance AC/DC power supply controller which uses digital control technology to build peak
current mode PWM flyback power supplies. The device directly drives a power BJT and operates in quasi-resonant
mode to provide high efficiency along with a number of key built-in protection features while minimizing the external
component count, simplifying EMI design and lowering the total bill of material cost. The iW1676 removes the need
for secondary feedback circuit while achieving excellent line and load regulation. It also eliminates the need for loop
compensation components while maintaining stability over all operating conditions. Pulse-by-pulse waveform analysis
allows for a loop response that is much faster than traditional solutions, resulting in improved dynamic load response,
for both one-time and repetitive load transients. The built-in power limit function enables optimized transformer design
in universal off-line applications and allows for a wide input voltage range.
Dialog’s innovative proprietary technology ensures that with low system cost, power supplies built with the iW1676 can
achieve both highest average efficiency, less than 30mW no-load power consumption and fast dynamic load response
in a compact form factor.
