9.0 Theory of Operation
The iW3620 is a digital controller which uses a proprietary
primary-side control technology to eliminate the opto-isolated
feedback and secondary regulation circuits required in
traditional designs. This results in a low-cost solution for
AC/DC adapters. The iW3620 uses Critical Discontinuous
Conduction Mode (CDCM) or Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM) mode at high output power levels and switches to
Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) mode at light load to
minimize power dissipation to meet EPA 2.0 specification.
Furthermore, iWatt’s digital control technology enables fast
dynamic response, tight output regulation, and full featured
circuit protection with primary-side control.
control algorithm to reduce system design time and improve
reliability.
Referring to the block diagram in Figure 8.1, the digital logic
control block generates the switching on-time and off-time
information based on the line voltage and the output voltage
feedback signal and provides commands to dynamically
control the external MOSFET current. The system loop is
compensated internally by a digital error amplifier. Adequate
system phase and gain margin are guaranteed by design
and no external analog components are required for loop
compensation. The iW3620 uses an advanced digital
iWatt’s digital control scheme is specifically designed to
address the challenges and trade-offs of power conversion
design. This innovative technology is ideal for balancing new
regulatory requirements for green mode operation with more
practical design considerations such as lowest possible cost,
smallest size and highest performance output control.
Furthermore, accurate secondary constant-current operation
is achieved without the need for any secondary-side sense
and control circuits.
The built-in protection features include overvoltage protection
(OVP), output short circuit protection (SCP) and soft-start,
AC line brown out, overcurrent protection, and Isense fault
protection. Also the iW3620 automatically shuts down if it
detects any of its sense pins to be either open or short.

Figure 9.2 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.

Pin 8 – VCC
Power supply for the controller during normal operation. The
controller will start up when VCC reaches 12 V (typical) and
will shut-down when the VCC voltage is below 6 V (typical). A
decoupling capacitor should be connected between the VCC
pin and GND.
+
When VCC is fully charged to a voltage higher than the startup threshold VCC(ST), the ENABLE signal becomes active and
enables the control logic; the VIN switch turns on, and the
analog-to-digital converter begins to sense the input voltage.
Once the voltage on the VIN pin is above VINSTLOW, the iW3620
commences soft start function. An adaptive soft-start control
algorithm is applied at startup state, during which the initial
output pulses will be small and gradually get larger until the
full pulse width is achieved. The peak current is limited cycle
by cycle by IPEAK comparator.
If at any time the VCC voltage drops below VCC(UVL) threshold
then all the digital logic is reset. At this time VIN switch

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. 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

There are two components that compose the voltage drop
during a load transient event.
VDROP(sense) is the drop in voltage before the VSENSE signal is
able to show a significant drop in output voltage. This is
determined by Vmin or the reference voltage at which a load
transient is detected. The smaller the Vmin means the smaller
this drop in voltage is.

and reflects the output voltage as shown in Figure 9.3.
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 9.3), then ΔV will also be
small. With the iW3620, ΔV can be ignored.
The real-time waveform analyzer in the iW3620 reads the
auxiliary waveform information cycle by cycle. The part then
generates a feedback voltage VFB. The VFB signal precisely
In order to reduce switching losses in the MOSFET and
EMI, the iW3620 employs valley mode switching when
IOUT is above 50%. 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 9.4). By switching at the lowest VDS, the
switching loss will be minimized.
Gate

Figure 9.4 : Valley Mode Switching
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 iW3620 can skips valleys

(seen in the first cycle in Figure 9.4) when the switching
frequency becomes too high.
iW3620 provides valley mode switching during constant
current (CC) output operation. So, the EMI and switching
losses are still minimized during CC mode. This feature is
superior to other quasi-resonant technologies which only
support valley mode switching during constant voltage
operation. This is beneficial to LED driver applications where
the IC mainly operates in CC mode.
9.6 Constant Voltage Operation
After soft-start has been completed, the digital control block
measures the output conditions. It determines output power
levels and adjusts the control system according to a light
load or a heavy load. If this is in the normal range, the device
operates in the Constant Voltage (CV) mode, and changes
the pulse width (TON), and off time (TOFF) in order to meet the
output voltage regulation requirements. During this mode
the PWM switching frequency is between 30 kHz and 130
kHz, depending on the line and load conditions.
If less than 0.2 V is detected on VSENSE it is assumed that the
auxiliary winding of the transformer is either open or shorted
and the iW3620 shuts down.
9.7 Constant Current Operation
The constant current mode (CC mode) maintains a constant
current output. During this mode of operation the iW3620
will regulate the output current at a constant level regardless
of the output voltage, while avoiding continuous conduction
mode. Figure 9.5 shows the operation modes of the
iW3620.
To achieve this regulation the iW3620 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.
CC mode
Output Current
Figure 9.5 : Power Envelope
The iW3620 normally operates in a fixed frequency PWM or
critical discontinuous conduction mode when IOUT is greater
than approximately 10% of the specified maximum load
current. As the output load IOUT is reduced, the on-time tON
is decreased. At the moment that the load current drops
below 10% of nominal, the controller transitions to Pulse
Frequency Modulation (PFM) mode. Thereafter, the ontime will be modulated by the line voltage and the off-time
is modulated by the load current. The device automatically
returns to PWM mode when the load current increases.
9.9 Variable Frequency Operation
At each of the switching cycles, the falling edge of VSENSE
will be 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 maximum allowed transformer reset time is
75 µs for iW3620.
9.10 Internal Loop Compensation
The iW3620 incorporates an internal Digital Error Amplifier
with no requirement for external loop compensation. For a
typical power supply design, the loop stability is guaranteed
to provide at least 45 degrees of phase margin and –20dB
of gain margin.
9.11 Voltage Protection Functions
The iW3620 includes a function that protects against an
output overvoltage (OVP).
The output voltage is monitored by the VSENSE pin. If the
voltage at this pin exceed its overvoltage threshold the
iW3620 shuts down immediately. However, the IC remains
biased which discharges the VCC supply. Once VCC drops
below the UVLO threshold, the controller resets itself and
then initiates a new soft-start cycle. The controller continues
attempting start-up until the fault condition is removed.
9.12 PCL, OC and SRS Protection

9.8 PFM Mode at Light Load
IOUT(CC)
Peak-current limit (PCL), over-current protection (OCP) and
sense-resistor short protection (SRSP) are features built-into
the iW3620. With the ISENSE pin the iW3620 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 1.1 V
over current is detected and the IC will immediately turn
off the gate drive until the next cycle. The output driver will
send out switching pulse in the next cycle, and the switching
pulse will continue if the OCP threshold is not reached; or,
the switching pulse will turn off again if the OCP threshold is
still reached.

Page 10
iW3620
Digital PWM Current-Mode Controller for AC/DC LED Driver
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 start-up, and shutdown immediately. The VCC will
be discharged since the IC remains biased. Once VCC drops
below the UVLO threshold, the controller resets itself and
then initiates a new soft-start cycle. The controller continues
attempting start-up, but does not fully start-up until the fault
condition is removed.
9.13 Shutdown
The shutdown (SD) pin in the iW3620 provides protection
against overtemperature (OTP) and additional overvoltage
(OVP) for the power supply.
The iW3620 switches between monitoring overtemperature
fault and overvoltage fault. In order to detect the resistance in
the NTC for an overtemperature fault, the iW3620 connects
a current source to the SD pin and checks the voltage on the
pin. To ensure that the current source is settled before the
voltage is checked both OTP and OVP are detected on the
last cycle, as depicted in Figure 9.6.

9.14 Thermal Design
The iW3620 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 9.8 shows the PCB

Use equation 10.1 and 10.2 to determine VOUT in the following
calculations, where VFD is the forward voltage of the output
diode.
VOUT (=
110% × VOUT ( nom )
PCB )
=
VOUT VOUT ( PCB ) + VFD
(10.1)
(10.2)
For this example the nominal VOUT(nom) is 21 V, assuming VFD
is 0.5, VOUT is:
VOUT ( PCB ) = 110% × 21V = 23.1
VIN resistors are chosen primarily to scale down the input
voltage for the IC. The default scale factor for the input
voltage in the IC is 0.0043 and the internal impedance of this
pin is ZIN (5 kW). Therefore, the VIN resistors should equate
to:
Z IN
− Z IN
0.0043
(10.3)
From equation 10.3, ideally RVin should be 1.16 MW. A lower
value of RVin can decrease the startup time of the power
supply. The value of RVin affects the (VINTON) limits of the IC.

(1.12 + 5k W )
Keep in mind, by changing RVin to be something other than
1.16 MW the minimum and maximum input voltage for startup also changes.
Since the iW3620 uses the exact scaled value of VIN for its
calculations, there should be a filter capacitor on the input
pin to filter out any noise that may appear on the VIN signal.
This is especially important for line in surge conditions.
10.4 Turns Ratio
The maximum allowable turns ratio between the primary
and secondary winding is determined by the minimum
detectable reset time of the transformer during PFM mode.
NTR (max) =
(VIN ⋅ TON )PFM
TRESET (min) × VOUT
(10.6)
Setting TRESET(min) at 1.5 μs,
131V ⋅ms
= 3.70
1.5ms × 23.6V
For this example a turns ratio of 2.5 is chosen.

For this example RVin is chosen to be 1.12 MΩ therefore,

NTR (max)
VOUT = 23.1V + 0.5V = 23.6V

(VIN ⋅ TON )limit =0.0043 × Z
Keep in mind in valley mode switching the higher the turns
ratio the lower the VDS turn-on voltage, which means less
switch turn-on power loss. Also consider the voltage stress
on the MOSFET (VDS) is higher with an increase in turns
ratio. The voltage stress on the output diode is lower with
an increase in turns ratio respectively.
10.5 Operating Maximum (VINTON)
Maximum operating VINTON or (VINTON)MAX for valley mode
switching is traditionally designed at full load and lowest
input voltage. For the iW3620, two constraints (equation
10.7 and 10.8) need to be satisfied so that indeed (VINTON)MAX
occurs at full load and lowest input voltage.

and then adjusted after the power supply is tested.

Since we calculated 399 V·μs as our VIN·TON we have enough
margin.
10.6 Magnetizing Inductance
A feature of the iW3620 is the lack of dependence on the
magnetizing inductance for the CC curve.
Although the constant current limit does not depend on the
magnetizing inductance, there are still restrictions on the
magnetizing inductance. The maximum LM is limited by the
amount of power that needs to come out of the transformer
in order for the power supply to regulate. This is given by:
(VIN ⋅ TON )2max × f sw(max op)

2 × PXFMR (max)

The minimum LM is limited by the maximum allowable peak
primary current. VREG-TH corresponds to the maximum ISENSE
voltage (see Section 10.11 to calculate RIsense). Therefore LM
is limited by:
=

TP (QR min) > 10ms
TP' (QR min)
(10.11)
592V ⋅ms
(10.10)
If these limits do not give enough tolerance for LM, increasing
(VINTON)max can raise the maximum limit on LM. Take care not
to go above (VINTON)limit. Also, keep in mind that if equation
10.7 and 10.8 are not met then (VINTON)max does not occur at
full load and lowest input voltage, thus some of the equations
here would be invalid.
10.7 Primary Winding
In order to keep the transformer from saturation, the
maximum flux density must not be exceeded. Therefore the
minimum primary winding must meet:

10.9 Bias Winding and VCC Capacitance

The bias winding needs to ensure than VCC does not exceed
16 V during normal operation.

Choose a value for NBIAS to be close to this number, for this
example we choose 15 turns.
The VCC capacitor (CVcc) stores the VCC charge during IC
operation and the controller checks this voltage and makes
sure it is within range before starting and operating. The
startup time is a function of how quickly this capacitor can
charge up.
tSTART −UP =
CVCC × VCC ( ST )

From here we can find the ratio necessary for RBVsns and
RTVsns. For this example we set RTVsns to be 20 kΩ. Assuming
we use the same winding for both VSENSE and VCC:

At this point the transformer design is complete. This would
be a good time to confirm that this transformer is feasible to

of the power supply. The output current of the power supply
is determined by:

Assume that we want no more than 2.0 V drop on VOUT(PCB)

The output capacitor supplies the load current when the

Pick the larger capacitance value between COUT(Dynamic) and

10.14 Snubber Network
The snubber network is implemented to reduce the voltage
stress on the MOSFET immediately following the turn off of
the gate drive. The goal is to dissipate the energy from the
leakage inductance of the transformer. For simplicity and
a more conservative design first assume the energy of the
leakage inductance is only dissipated through the snubber.

Llk can be measured from the transformer. VSnub(pk) and
VSnub(val) refer to the voltage measured across the snubber
capacitor. Choose a CSNUB, keeping in mind that the larger
the value of CSNUB the lower the voltage stress is on the
MOSFET. However, capacitors are more expensive the
larger their capacitance. Choose CSNUB based on these two
criteria and select VSnub(pk) and VSnub(val). Now a resistor needs
to be selected to dissipate VSnub(pk) to VSnub(val) during the ontime of the gate driver. The dissipation of this resistor is
given by:
VSnub (val )

10.16 SD Protection
The SD pin can be configured to provide three different
types of protection: OTP protection, OVP protection and
both OVP and OTP Protection. Figure 10.3 shows the three
configurations plus the configuration for no OTP and OVP
protection.

RSNUB ⋅CSNUB
Using equation 10.32 solve for RSNUB. This gives a
conservative estimate of what CSNUB and RSNUB should be.
Included in the snubber network is also a resistor in series with
a diode. The diode directs current to the snubber capacitor
when the MOSFET is turned off; however there is some
reverse current that goes through the diode immediately
after the MOSFET is turned back on. This reverse current
occurs because there is a short period of time when the
diode still conducts after switching from forward biased to
reverse biased. This conduction distorts the falling edge of
the VSENSE signal and affects the operation of the IC. So,
the resistor in series with the diode is there to diminish the
reverse current that goes through the diode immediately
after the MOSFET is turned on.
10.15 TON Delay Filter
iW3620 also contains a feature that allows for adjustment
to match high line and low line constant current curves.
The mismatch in high line and low line is due to the delay
from the IC propagation delay, driver turn-on delay, and the
MOSFET turn-on delay. The driver turn-on delay maybe
further increased by a gate resistor to the MOSFET. To
adjust for these delays the iW3620 factors these delays into
its calculations and slightly over compensates for them to
provide flexibility. RDly and CDly provide extra delay in the
circuit to tweak the compensation. To determine values RDly
and CDly follow these steps:

OTP Only
To detect an overtemperature protection the iW3620 sends
a 107 mA current (ISD) to the SD pin every four cycles (see
Section 9.13). On the last cycle the iW3620 observes the
voltage on the SD pin and detects an OTP fault if the voltage
is lower than VSD-TH, 1.0 V during normal operation and 1.2 V
during startup. So RSD(ext) in series with NTC must meet
( RNTC +RSD(ext ) ) × I SD > VSD−TH (10.34)
in order not to trigger OTP fault during normal operation.
OVP Only
For the other four cycles, the iW3620 connects the SD pin
to RSD to ground (see Section 9.13). At the last cycle the
iW3620 observes the voltage on the SD pin and detects an

If OTP and OVP from the SD pin are not needed, simply
place a resistor, RSD(ext) to ground from the SD pin. Make
sure RSD(ext) meets equation 10.36 so OTP protection does
not trip.

Note that this means OVP is not detected through the SD pin;
however, OVP from VSENSE pin is still active and the iW3620
still shuts down if overvoltage condition is detected.

Figure 10.4 : Switching Loops
To improve ESD performance provide a low impedance path
from the ground pin of the transformer to the ac power source
and make sure this path does not go through the IC ground
pin. A discharge spark gap helps to transfer ESD and EOS
energy from the secondary side of the power supply directly
to the external ac power source.
In a switch-mode power supply there are several ground
signals, namely: the power ground, the switching ground
and the control logic ground. These ground signals should
be connected by a star connection. Ground traces should
be kept as short as possible. A thick trace on the switching
ground helps to lessen switching losses.
Since for this example OTP and OVP are not necessary we
place a resistor from SD pin to ground and calculate its value
from equation 10.36.

10.17 PCB Layout
In the iW3620, there are two signals that are important to
control the output performance; these are the ISENSE signal
and the VSENSE signal. The ISENSE resistor should be close to
the source of the MOSFET to avoid any trace resistance from
contaminating the ISENSE signal. Also, the ISENSE signal should
be placed close to the ISENSE pin. The VSENSE signal should
be placed close to the transformer to improve the quality of
the sensing signal. Also for better output performance all
bypass capacitors should be placed close to their respective
pins.
To reduce EMI, switching loops need to be minimized. These
loops include (see Figure 10.4):
1. The input bulk capacitor, primary winding, MOSFET and
RIsense loop.
2. The output diode, output capacitor and secondary
winding loop.
