The iW1602 is a digital offline AC/DC controller for up to 30W output travel adapters. It uses Renesas' PrimAccurate™ primary-side control technology to eliminate the need for an optical isolation device on the secondary, reducing component count and cost. The iW1602 integrates a unique light load operation mode that allows the user to configure the minimum switching frequency at light load through an external resistor. The higher the light load mode switching frequency, the better the dynamic load response (DLR). If the lowest switching frequency is chosen, the no-load power consumption is reduced, negatively impacting the DLR performance. In this case, theiW676synchronous rectifier controller with integrated active voltage position (AVP) control can be used for faster DLR while keeping the no-load power consumption <30mW. The iW1602 integrates a full array of protection features, including Renesas'SmartDefender™advanced hiccup technology to protect against soft shorts in travel adapter cables and connectors. ADiaSIM™simulation model is available for the iW1602. For more information and where to download, please visit theDiaSIMpage.

The iW1677 is a high-performance AC/DC controller designed to drive a low-cost bipolar junction transistor (BJT) power switch in peak current mode PWM flyback power supplies up to 5W. Ideal for power adapters for smartphones, the iW1677 integrates Renesas' PrimAccurate™ digital primary-side control, eliminating the need for the secondary-side optocoupler, and reducing component count and solution cost. The iW1677 integrates an active start-up circuit that allows for fast turn-on without impacting operating current consumption. The device easily meets the US DoE’s external power supply standard and the EU’s Code of Conduct, Version 5, Tier 2 standard, with a no-load power consumption of less than 20mW. Additional features include Renesas' proprietary EZ-EMI™ technology, quasi-resonant control for optimal efficiency at heavy loads, cable and connector voltage drop compensation options, full protection from fault conditions, and tiny packaging.

The iW1699B improves on the performance of Renesas' iW1699 AC/DC controller by reducing the output voltage ripple to 1% on a 12V output voltage, increasing the Vcc input voltage range up to 25V, and increasing robustness with extra protection features. The iW1699B easily meets the US DoE’s external power supply efficiency standard and the EU’s Code of Conduct, Version 5, Tier 2 external power supply standard, with no-load power consumption less than 30mW while complying with minimum active mode efficiency requirements. The iW1699B also incorporates Renesas'SmartDefender™smart hiccup technology to help address soft short circuits in cables and connectors. The iW1699B is pin-to-pin and backward compatible with theiW1699. ADiaSIM™simulation model is available for the iW1699B.

The iW1700 is a high-performance AC/DC controller designed to drive an external power bipolar junction transistor (BJT) for peak current mode PWM flyback power supplies. The iW1700 is a zero no-load power product, having less than 5mW of power consumption at no load, easily meeting the US DoE’s external power supply standard and the EU’s Code of Conduct, Version 5, Tier 2, external power supply standard. The virtually zero no-load power consumption makes it ideal for adapters in portable electronics and power supplies for consumer electronics. As a PrimAccurate™ controller, which uses primary-side control algorithms, the iW1700 does not need any direct secondary-side feedback components, eliminating the need for optocouplers, and reducing component count and solution cost. Additional features include Renesas' proprietary EZ-EMI™ technology, quasi-resonant control for optimal efficiency at heavy loads, cable and connector voltage drop compensation options, full protection from fault conditions, and tiny packaging.
