iW3602
AC/DC Digital Power Controller for
Dimmable LED Drivers
1.0 Features
● Isolated AC/DC offline 100VAC/230VAC LED driver
● Line frequency ranges from 45Hz to 66Hz
● Intelligent wall dimmer detection
2.0 Description
The iW3602 is a high performance AC/DC offline power
supply controller for dimmable LED luminaires, which uses
advanced digital control technology to detect the dimmer
type and phase. The dimmer conduction phase controls the
LED brightness. The LED brightness is modulated by PWM-
dimming. The iW3602’s unique digital control technology
eliminates visible flicker.

The iW3602 can operate with all dimmer schemes including:
leading-edge dimmer, trailing-edge dimmer, as well as
other dimmer configurations such as R-type, R-C type or
R-L type. When a dimmer is not present, the controller can
automatically detect that there is no dimmer.
● Hybrid dimming scheme
● Wide dimming range from 1% up to 100%
● No visible flicker
The iW3602 operates in a quasi-resonant mode to provide
high efficiency. The iW3602 provides a number of key
built-in features. The iW3602 uses advanced primary-
side sensing technology to achieve excellent line and load
regulation without secondary feedback circuitry. In addition,
the iW3602’s pulse-by-pulse waveform analysis technology
allows accurate LED current regulation. The iW3602
maintains stability over all operating conditions without the
need for loop compensation components. Therefore, the
iW3602 minimizes external component count, simplifies EMI
design and lowers overall bill of materials cost.
● Resonant control to achieve high efficiency, 85% without
dimmer
● Temperature compensated LED current
