iW1677
Low-Power Off-Line Digital Green-Mode PWM Controller
1 Description
The iW1677 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 together with an external active device (depletion mode
NFET or NPN BJT) provides a fast start-up without compromising no-load power loss. 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 iW1677 removes the need for secondary feedback circuitry 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 power supplies built with the iW1677 can achieve both highest
average efficiency and less than 20mW no-load power consumption, and have fast dynamic load response in a
compact form factor. The active start-up scheme enables shortest possible start-up time without sacrificing no-load
power loss.
