iW350
SSL Interface Controller for Analog (0-10V), PWM, and
Resistor Dimming with Optocoupler Delay Elimination
1 Description
The iW350 is a PWM signal generator that works with three different types of dimming inputs, 0-10V PWM dimming,
0-10V linear dimming or simple dimming using a single resistor to ground from the DIM pin. The iW350 auto detects the
dimmer type connected. A PWM dimming type is directly used, while the 0-10V linear dimming and resistor dimming
signals are converted into a 0%-100% PWM duty cycle that can then be used to provide a dimming signal to a primaryside LED driver such as the iW3636, removing the need for transformers or other driver circuitry. The output of the iW350
is optimized in such a way as to remove the impact of the non-linear delay typical of optocouplers.
The iW350 offers a high level of flexibility by offering programmability for the maximum dimming voltage, minimum output
duty cycle and the turn-off threshold voltage through external resistors. The output PWM frequency is also programmable
from 100Hz to 5kHz through a single capacitor to ground. The input to the iW350 integrates the necessary current
source to interface with both active and passive 0-10V dimmers without additional circuitry, while the output can drive an
optocoupler to provide isolated dimming control from the secondary to the primary.
