iW3626
Off-Line Digital Power Controller for LED Driver
with High-Power Factor and Low-Ripple Current
1 Description
The iW3626 is a high performance, single-stage AC/DC power controller for LED luminaires with power factor (PF)
correction. The device uses digital control technology to build unique hybrid mode control in PWM flyback power
supplies to achieve high power factor meanwhile minimizing LED current ripple. This distinctive control approach
enables the capability for users to make trade-offs between PF and LED current ripple in a single-stage design. It can
achieve excellent LED current regulation over line and load variation, without the need for secondary feedback circuit.
The built-in temperature sensor along with control logic can automatically adjust output current in real-time without
visible flicker during the process. The iW3626 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. It also eliminates the need for loop compensation components while maintaining
stability over all operating conditions. The built-in power limit function enables optimized transformer design in
universal off-line applications with input voltage from 90VAC to 277VAC.
Dialog’s innovative proprietary technology maximizes the iW3626 performance in a tiny SOT-23 package. The iW3626
offers two multi-function pins allowing users to configure PF and OTP as required with no cost or size impact, thereby
providing design flexibility. The active start-up scheme enables the shortest possible start-up time without sacrificing
active efficiency.
