RENESAS IW676-32

The iW676 is an advanced synchronous rectifier (SR) controller with an integrated MOSFET driver for discontinuous mode flyback converters. The device works with an external power MOSFET to replace the main rectifying diode on the secondary of a flyback converter, improving efficiency by reducing conduction losses on the secondary. The iW676 uses lossless sensing by monitoring the voltage across the synchronous MOSFET to determine when to switch the FET, further improving efficiency. Dialog’s digital adaptive turn-off control technology minimizes turn-off deadtime, eliminating the need for an additional Schottky diode that is typically needed in parallel with the synchronous MOSFET in conventional synchronous rectifiers. The iW676 has the ability to work at output voltages as high as 25V and as low as 3V under all conditions to accommodate a wide array of power supplies. It can sense drain voltages up to 100V, eliminating the need for an external clamping circuit in applications with multi-level output voltage applications up to 12V. A unique internal regulator circuit enables the iW676 to operate down to very low voltages on the output of the power supply, optimizing the device for Direct Charging applications down to sub-3V levels. The iW676-3X/3XC integrates Dialog’s unique Active Voltage Positioning (AVP) control for fast dynamic load response and very low no-load power consumption (non-rapid charge applications), without increasing the package size or pin count.
