Preliminary Product Summary
iW9870
Zero Standby Power AC/DC Digital Quasi-Resonant Flyback GaN Controller for RapidChargeTM
The iW9870 is a high-performance AC/DC primary-side
digital flyback controller for secondary-side regulation
Features
▪ Zero standby power consumption with low system
(SSR) that can enable zero standby power consumption
in 15W-63W rapid charge applications. The device
operates in the Renesas’ patented constant-frequency,
quasi-resonant (QR) switching mode and adaptive
multi-mode control (MMC). The iW9870 is optimized
to work with Renesas’ secondary-side controller, the
iW760, which integrates SSR, synchronous rectification
(SR) control and USB Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 with
Programmable Power Supply (PPS) support. A
typical 25W USB PD travel adapter (TA) built with the
iW9870 and iW760 chipset can meet no-load power
consumption of less than 5mW when the output USB
cable is detached.
cost (< 5mW at 230VAC when output USB cable is
detached in a typical 25W USB PD travel adapter)
▪ Supports single-layer PCB design to reduce total
system cost
▪ Supports Rapid Charge adapters applications of
15W-63W and other power profiles
▪ Uses Renesas’ patented switching modes [adaptive
quasi-resonant (QR) operation and adaptive multi-
mode control (MMC)] and continuous conduction
mode (CCM)
▪ Improves efficiency and eliminate audible noise
▪ Enables optimization for size, efficiency and EMI
The iW9870’s unique MMC mode of operation includes
PWM, PFM and burst mode, which optimizes flyback
converter performance including efficiency and EMI.
And it also provides a number of key built-in protection
features. The iW9870 and iW760 chipset can achieve
tight multi-level constant voltage (CV) and multi-level
constant current (CC) regulation in high resolution
steps, with fast and smooth CV/CC transition upon
request by mobile devices (MD). With SSR digital
compensation, the chipset eliminates the need
performance
▪ Supports voltage sensing with dual polarity of VVCC
auxiliary winding for improving EMI and simplifying
transformer design
▪ Optimized gate drive for GaN power devices
▪ Supports constant-voltage (CV) and constant-current
(CC) regulation in fine steps using secondary-side
regulation (SSR) control
▪ Supports high switching frequency up to 270kHz for
driving GaN power device (by product option - see
section 7)
for external loop compensation components while
maintaining stability under all operation conditions.
▪ Built-in single-point fault protections against AC line
voltage brown-in, brown-out, output short-circuit,
output over-voltage, and optocoupler failure
Besides zero standby power, Renesas’ innovative
proprietary technology ensures that power supplies
designed with the iW9870 and iW760 chipset can
achieve high efficiency, high accuracy voltage/current
control and fast dynamic load response, all with the
▪ User adjustable internal OTP threshold for various
thermal requirements
lowest system cost.
▪ 6-lead SOT-23 package supports compact power
supply design
Applications
▪ Rapid-charging AC/DC adapters for smart phones,
tablets, power tools and other portable devices
