AC/DC Digital Power Controller for
High Power Factor Dimmable LED Drivers
8.0 Functional Block Diagram
iW3614 combines two functions: 1) wall dimmer type
detection and dimmer phase measurement; and 2) output
LED light dimming. It uses Dialog’s proprietary digital control
technology, which consists of: 1) chopping circuit, which
helps to increase the power factor and serves as a dynamic
impedance to load the dimmer; 2) primary side controlled
isolated flyback converter. The iW3614 provides a low cost
dimming solution which enables LED bulb to be used with
most of the common wall dimmers. This allows LED bulbs to
directly replace conventional incandescent bulbs with ease.
The iW3614 can detect and operate with leading-edge, and
trailing-edge dimmers as well as no-dimmer. The controller
operates in critical discontinuous conduction mode (CDCM)
to achieve high power efficiency and minimum EMI. It
VIN
incorporates proprietary primary-feedback constant current
control technology to achieve tight LED current regulation.
Figure 3.1 shows a typical iW3614 application schematic.
Figure 8.1 shows the functional block diagram. The advanced
digital control mechanism reduces system design time and
improves reliability. The start-up algorithm makes sure the
VCC supply voltage is ready before powering up the IC.
The iW3614 provides multiple protection features for
current limit, over-voltage protection, and over temperature
protection. The VT function can provide overtemperature
compensation for the LED. The external NTC senses the
LED temperature. If the VT pin voltage is below VP-LIM(HI), the
controller reduces the LED current. If the VT pin voltage is
below VSH-TH then the controller turns off.

AC/DC Digital Power Controller for
High Power Factor Dimmable LED Drivers
9.0 Theory of Operation
The iW3614 is a high performance AC/DC off-line power
supply controller for dimmable LED luminaires, which uses
advanced digital control technology to detect the dimmer
type and dimmer phase to control the LED brightness. A
PWM-dimming scheme is used to modulate the LED current
at the PWM dimming frequency at low dimming levels.
iW3614 can work with all types of wall dimmers including
leading-edge dimmer, trailing-edge dimmer, as well as
dimmer configurations such as R-type, R-C type or R-L type
without visible flicker. The controller can also work when no
dimmer is connected.
iW3614 operates in quasi-resonant mode to provide high
efficiency and simplify EMI design. In addition, the iW3614
includes a number of key built-in protection features. Using
Dialog’s state-of-the-art primary-feedback technology, the
iW3614 removes the need for secondary feedback circuitry
while achieving excellent line and load regulation. iW3614
also eliminates the need for loop compensation components
while maintaining stability over all operating conditions.
Pulse-by-pulse waveform analysis allows for accurate
LED current regulation. Hence, the iW3614 can provide
high performance dimming solutions, with minimal external
component count and low bill of materials cost.
9.1 Pin Detail
Pin 6 – ISENSE
Primary current sense. Used for cycle by cycle peak current
control.
Pin 7 – OUTPUT
Gate drive for the external MOSFET switch.
Pin 8 – VCC
Power supply for the controller during normal operation. The
controller will start-up when VCC reaches 12V (typical) and
will shut down when the VCC voltage is below 7.5V (typical).
High-frequency transients and ripples can be easily generated
on the VCC pin due to power supply switching transitions,
and line and load disturbances. Excess ripples and noises
on VCC may cause the iW3614 to function undesirably, hence
a decoupling capacitor should be connected between the
VCC pin and GND. A ceramic capacitor of minimum 0.1 uF
connected as close as possible to the VCC pin is suggested.
9.2 Wall Dimmer Detections
There are two types of wall dimmers: leading-edge dimmer
and trailing-edge dimmer.
Pin 1 – OUTPUT(TR)
AC line before Walldimmer
Gate drive for the chopping circuit MOSFET switch.
Pin 2 – VSENSE
Sense signal input from auxiliary winding. This provides the
secondary voltage feedback used for output regulation.
Pin 3 – VIN
Sense signal input from the rectified line voltage. VIN is
used for dimmer phase detection. The input line voltage is
scaled down using a resistor network. It is used for input
under-voltage and over-voltage protection. This pin also
provides the supply current to the IC during start-up.

period measurement. The VIN period is measured during
the second cycle of the dimmer detection process and is
latched for use thereafter. Using the measured VIN period
in subsequent calculations rather than a constant allows
for automatic 50-/60-Hz operation and allows for a 10%
frequency variation.

The phase measurement starts when VIN exceeds the rising
threshold until VIN falls below the falling threshold.

VCROSS
Dimmer detection, or discovery, takes place during the third
cycle after start-up. The controller determines whether no
dimmer exists, or there is a leading edge dimmer or a trailing
edge dimmer.
VCROSS is internally generated by comparing the digitalized
VIN signal to the threshold of 0.25V during dimming or
0.14V without a dimmer. The VIN period (tPERIOD) is measured
between two consecutive rising edge zero-crossings. tCROSS
is generated by the internal digital block (refer to Figure 9.3);
when VIN_A is higher than 0.14V tCROSS is set to high and
when VIN_A falls below 0.14V tCROSS is reset to zero. If tCROSS is
much shorter than the VIN period then a dimmer is detected.
The controller uses the filtered derivatives to decide which
type of dimmer is present. A large positive derivative value
indicates a leading edge dimmer. Then the controller enters
leading edge dimmer mode; otherwise it enters trailing edge
dimmer mode.
tPERIOD
Figure 9.4 : Dimmer Phase Measurement
The dimmer phase is calculated as:
Dimmer Phase =
tCROSS
t PERIOD (9.1)
The calculated dimmer phase is used to generate the signal
DRATIO, which determines LED current. If the dimmer phase
is less than 0.14 then the DRATIO is clamped at 0.14; if the
dimmer phase is greater than 0.7 then DRATIO is clamped at
1.0; otherwise DRATIO is calculated by equation 9.2.
=
DRATIO Dimmer Phase × K1 − K 2 (9.2)
Where, K1 is set to 1.768 and K2 is set to 0.238.
During the dimmer detection stage, the OUTPUT(TR) keeps
high to turn on the switch FET in the chopping circuit. This
creates a resistive load for the wall dimmer.
Using VIsense(NOM) to represent the nominal 100% LED current,
the VIsense, which modulates the output LED current, is
controlled by:
=

Chopping circuit provides the dynamic impedance for the
dimmer and builds the energy to the LED power converter. It
consists of LC, QC, RC, RS, and D2. LC is the chopping inductor.
During the chopping period, LC is used to store the energy
when the QC is on, and then release the energy to CB when
QC is off. The on-time of QC during the chopping period when
no dimmer exists is calculated by the following equation:
TON (Qc ) = 8µs − 4.4

VIN_A is the scale voltage of VIN. VCB is the voltage across CB.
When tCROSS is low, QC is always on. When tCROSS is high, QC
operates according to equation 9.4 and 9.5.
During the chopping period, the average current of LC
is in phase with the input AC line voltage, so it inherently
generates high power factor. D1 in the chopping circuit is
used to charge CB when the voltage of CB is lower than the
input line voltage. This helps to reduce the inrush current
when the TRIAC is fired.

9.5 Start-up
Prior to start-up the VIN pin charges up the VCC capacitor
through a diode between VIN and VCC. When VCC is fully
charged to a voltage higher than the start-up threshold
VCC(ST), the ENABLE signal becomes active and enables the
control logic, shown by Figure 9.7. When the control logic
is enabled, the controller enters normal operation mode.
During the first 3 half AC cycles, OUTPUT(TR) keeps high.
After the dimmer type and AC line period are measured, the
constant current stage is enabled and the output voltage
starts to ramp up. When the output voltage is above the
forward voltage of the LED, the controller begins to operate
in constant current mode.
An adaptive soft-start control algorithm is applied during
start-up state, where the initial output pulses are short and
gradually get wider until the full pulse width is achieved.
The peak current is limited cycle by cycle by the IPEAK
comparator.

9.6 Understanding Primary Feedback
Figure 9.8 illustrates a simplified flyback converter. When the
switch Q1 conducts during tON(t), the current ig(t) is directly
drawn from rectified sinusoid vg(t). The energy Eg(t) is stored
in the magnetizing inductance LM. The rectifying diode D1
is reverse biased and the load current IO is supplied by the
secondary capacitor CO. When Q1 turns off, D1 conducts and
the stored energy Eg(t) is delivered to the output.

Figure 9.8 : Simplified Flyback Converter
In order to tightly regulate the output voltage, the information
about the output voltage and load current needs to be
accurately sensed. In the DCM flyback converter, this
information can be read via the auxiliary winding or the
primary magnetizing inductance (LM). During the Q1 on-time,
the load current is supplied from the output filter capacitor CO.
The voltage across LM is vg(t), assuming the voltage dropped
across Q1 is zero. The current in Q1 ramps up linearly at a
rate of:
dt
=
vg (t )

(9.6)
At the end of on-time, the current has ramped up to:

When Q1 turns off, ig(t) in LM forces a reversal of polarities on
all windings. Ignoring the communication-time caused by the
leakage inductance LK at the instant of turn-off, the primary
current transfers to the secondary at a peak amplitude of:

and reflects the output voltage as shown in Figure 9.9.
The voltage at the load differs from the secondary voltage by
a diode drop and IR losses. The diode drop is a function of
current, as are IR losses. Thus, if the secondary voltage is
always read at a constant secondary current, the difference
between the output voltage and the secondary voltage will
be a fixed ΔV. Furthermore, if the voltage can be read when
the secondary current is small; for example, at the knee of
the auxiliary waveform (see Figure 9.9), then ΔV will also be
small. With the iW3614, ΔV can be ignored.
The real-time waveform analyzer in the iW3614 reads the
auxiliary waveform information cycle by cycle. The part then
generates a feedback voltage VFB. The VFB signal precisely
represents the output voltage and is used to regulate the
output voltage.

Assuming the secondary winding is master and the auxiliary

In order to reduce switching losses in the MOSFET and EMI,
the iW3614 employs valley mode switching during constant
output current operation. In valley mode switching, the
MOSFET switch is turned on at the point where the resonant
voltage across the drain and source of the MOSFET is at its
lowest point (see Figure 9.10). By switching at the lowest
VDS, the switching loss will be minimized.

Turning on at the lowest VDS generates lowest dV/dt, thus
valley mode switching can also reduce EMI. To limit the
switching frequency range, the iW3614 can skip valleys
(seen in the first cycle in Figure 9.10) when the switching
frequency is greater than fSW(MAX).
VIN resistors are chosen primarily to scale down the input
voltage for the IC. The scale factor for the input voltage in the
IC is 0.0043 for 230VAC, and 0.0086 for 115VAC or, 0.0099 for
100VAC if the internal impedance of this pin is selected to be
2.5kΩ. Then for high line, the VIN resistors should equate to:
R=
Vin
2.5k W
− 2.5k=
W 579k W
0.0043
(9.12)
At each of the switching cycles, the falling edge of VSENSE
is checked. If the falling edge of VSENSE is not detected, the
off-time will be extended until the falling edge of VSENSE is
detected.
The VIN resistors are shown in Figure 11.1 as R3, R4, and
R22.
9.8 LED Current Regulation
The iW3614 includes a function that protects against an
input over-voltage (VIN OVP) and output over-voltage (OVP).
iW3614 incorporates a patented primary-side only constant
current regulation technology. The iW3614 regulates the
output current at a constant level regardless of the output
voltage, while avoiding continuous conduction mode. To
achieve this regulation the iW3614 senses the load current
indirectly through the primary current. The primary current
is detected by the ISENSE pin through a resistor from the
MOSFET source to ground.

9.10 Voltage Protection Functions
The input voltage is monitored by VIN_A, as shown in Figure
8.1. If this voltage exceeds 1.73 V for 15 continuous half AC
cycles the iW3614 considers VIN to be over-voltage. Output
voltage is monitored by the VSENSE pin. If the voltage at this
pin exceeds VSENSE(MAX) for 2 continuous switching cycles the
iW3614 considers the output voltage to be over-voltage.
In both input over-voltage and output over-voltage cases,
the IC shuts off immediately but remains biased to discharge
the VCC supply. In order to prevent overcharging the output
voltage or overcharging the bulk voltage, the iW3614
employs an extended discharge time before restart. Initially
if VCC drops below the UVLO threshold, the controller resets
itself and then initiates a new soft-start cycle.
Figure 9.11 : Constant LED Current Regulation
Under the fault condition, the controller tries to start-up for
three consecutive times. If all three start-up attempts fail, the
controller enters the inactive mode, during which the controller
does not respond to VCC power-on requests. The controller
will be activated again after it sees 29 start-up attempts. The
controller can also be reset to the initial condition if VCC is
discharged. Typically, this extended discharge time is around
3 to 5 seconds.
The ISENSE resistor determines the maximum current output
of the power supply. The output current of the power supply
is determined by:
This extended discharge time allows the iW3614 to support
hot-plug LED modules without causing dangerously high
output voltages while maintaining a quick recovery.

Peak-current limit (PCL), over-current protection (OCP) and
sense-resistor short protection (SRSP) are features builtin to the iW3614. With the ISENSE pin the iW3614 is able to
monitor the primary peak current. This allows for cycle by
cycle peak current control and limit. When the primary peak
current multiplied by the ISENSE sense resistor is greater than
VOCP over-current protection engages and the IC immediately
turns off the gate drive until the next cycle. The output driver
continues to send out switching pulses, but the IC will
immediately turn off the gate drive if the OCP threshold is
reached again.

VT Pin Voltage
If the ISENSE sense resistor is shorted there is a potential
danger of the over-current condition not being detected.
Thus the IC is designed to detect this sense-resistor-short
fault after the start-up, and shutdown immediately. The VCC
will be discharged since the IC remains biased. In order
to prevent overcharging the output voltage, the iW3614
employs an extended discharge time before restart, similar
to the discharge time described in section 9.10.
When the VT pin voltage reaches VP-LIM(HI) the output current
begins to reduce as shown in Figure 9.12. At VP-LIM(LO) the
output current reduces to 1%. The device can be placed
in shutdown mode by pulling the VT pin to ground or below
VSH-TH.
9.12 Over Temperature Protection
9.13 Thermal Design
If an NTC thermistor is connected from the VT pin to GND
then, the iW3614 is able to detect and protect against an
over temperature event (OTP).
The iW3614 is typically installed inside a small enclosure,
where space and air volumes are constrained. Under these
circumstances θJA (thermal resistance, junction to ambient)
measurements do not provide useful information for this
type of application. Instead we have provided ψJB which
estimates the increase in die junction temperature relative to
the PCB surface temperature. Figure 9.14 shows the PCB
surface temperature is measured at the IC’s GND pin pad.

The iW3614 provides a current (IVT) to the VT pin and detects
the voltage on the pin. Based on this voltage the iW3614
can monitor the temperature on the NTC thermistor. As the
VT pin voltage reduces, the iW3614 reduces the amount of
chopping and the output current according to Figure 9.12.
There is a hysteresis of 84 mV on VT pin voltage for each
power limiting step.

ΨJB (˚C/Watt)
The iW3614 uses an exposed pad package to reduce the
thermal resistance of the package. The exposed pad can
be electrically connected to the GND pin of the IC. Although
by having an exposed package can provide some thermal
resistance improvement, more significant improvements can
be obtained with simple PCB layout and design. Figure 9.14
demonstrates some recommended techniques to improve
thermal resistance, which are also highlighted below.
