iW1770
Off-Line Digital Quasi-Resonant
PWM Controller with Peak Power Operation
1 Description
The iW1770 is a high performance AC/DC power supply controller that uses digital control technology
to build peak current mode PWM flyback power supplies. The device operates in quasi-resonant mode
to provide high efficiency and includes 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
iW1770 can operate at peak power mode with momentary peak power higher than the maximum
continuous output power without design cost and size increase. The iW1770 removes the need for a
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 fast dynamic load transient reponse. The built-in power limit function enables optimized
transformer design for a wide input voltage range.
Dialog’s innovative proprietary technology ensures that power supplies built with the iW1770 can achieve both the
highest average active efficiency and less than 50mW no-load power consumption in 20W output power range, and
have fast yet smooth start-up with a wide range of capacitive loads with output voltage of 12V and above, and are
ideal for network and ultrabook adapter applications.
