2.0 Description
The iW1696 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 iW1696 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 overall
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. The
built-in power limit function enables optimized transformer
design in universal off-line applications and allows for a wide
input voltage range.
