iW1797
AC/DC Primary-Side DLNK Rapid ChargeTM Controller
with High Performance Voltage/Current Control
1 Description
The iW1797 is a high performance AC/DC power supply controller for rapid charge applications that supports high
resolution voltage/current control. The device can support high power applications with power ratings of 45W or up
and it can support 10mV voltage step requests. It uses Dialog’s PrimAccurateTM technology to minimize external
component count and simplify system design. The device operates in quasi-resonant mode to provide high efficiency
and it also provides a number of key built-in protection features. The iW1797 can achieve tight multi-level constant
voltage and multi-level constant current regulation without a traditional secondary feedback circuit. It also eliminates
the need for loop compensation components while maintaining stability over all operating conditions.
The iW1797 is optimized to work with Dialog’s secondary-side controllers that use the proprietary digital link (DLNK)
technology. The iW1797 and DLNK-based secondary-side controller chipset together can implement various rapid
charge protocols, such as USB Power Delivery (USB PD), Qualcomm® Quick Charge™ 2.0 and 3.0 (QC2.0 and QC3.0)
technologies, etc. to achieve fast and smooth voltage transitions upon request by mobile devices (MD). The iW1797
and compatible secondary-side controller from Dialog use the DLNK communction protocol for output voltage requests,
output current limits, output voltage undershoot and over voltage information from the secondary to the primary.
The iW1797 can provide no-load power consumption for a typical 5V output setting of less than 75mW with ample margin.
The no-load power consumption can be reduced to less than 20mW with an optional, external active start-up DFET.
Dialog’s innovative proprietary technology ensures that power supplies designed with the iW1797 and Dialog’s
secondary-side controllers can provide output voltage configurations of 3.3V to 21V for USB PD, 5V/9V/12V for QC2.0
and 3.6V to 12V in 200mV increments for QC3.0 and other proprietary protocols.
Qualcomm® Quick ChargeTM 2.0 and 3.0 are products of QualcommTechnologies, Inc.
