iW3636
Single-Stage LED Driver with PFC
Supports Wide Range of Dimming Interfaces
1 Description
The iW3636 is a high-performance, single-stage AC/DC power controller for PWM dimmable LED driver with power
factor (PF) correction. It supports most commonly used isolated and non-isolated flyback and buck-boost topologies.
The device operates in constant on-time mode to achieve high power factor (> 0.9) across a wide load range. It uses
Dialog’s PrimAccurate™ advanced primary-side sensing technology to achieve excellent output current regulation over
line and load variation without the need for secondary feedback components. It also eliminates the need for external loop
compensation while maintaining stability over all operating conditions.
The iW3636 offers a 1% to 100% dimming range and provides a dedicated PWM dimming input pin that supports a
wide variety of dimming application interfaces such as wireless modules, MCUs or 0-10V interfaces. When working with
Dialog’s secondary-side SSL PWM signal generator IC, the iW339, the iW3636 adopts a proprietary technique to support
accurate dimming by eliminating the impact from the non-ideal characteristics of optocouplers. In addition, the iW3636
accepts a secondary PWM or analog input to allow maximum output current configuration control.
Dialog’s innovative proprietary technology maximizes the iW3636 performance in an SOIC-8 package. It provides two
multi-function pins to configure IC functions such as the dimming curve and minimum dimming level. The iW3636 also
enables the active start-up scheme to achieve the shortest possible start-up time without sacrificing active efficiency. By
adaptively controlling the maximum operating frequency at different dimming levels, it helps eliminate audible noise and
achieve low standby power consumption.
