Overview
Description
The iW1821 AccuSwitch™ digital PWM controller integrates a highly accurate control circuit with a 1200V bipolar junction transistor (BJT) power switch to provide a complete solution for off-line power conversion at up to 12W of output power.
Renesas' PrimAccurate™ primary-side digital control algorithms eliminate the need for failure-prone optocouplers and ensure excellent cross-regulation accuracy, to enable the longer operating lifetime, high performance and reduced cost required for industrial applications and appliances.
The output is designed to smoothly start-up into large capacitors while maintaining a quick turn-on time. It operates in quasi-resonant mode to optimize efficiency and incorporates a low-power mode that achieves <50mW of no-load power consumption to meet global energy efficiency regulations.

Delve into EV Charging Solutions - Why is AC/DC implementation beneficial to power up the Metered Electrical Vehicle Charging Station?
The AC/DC implementation is high efficiency and high robustness solution that uses a feed forward simplified architecture. This type of solution monitors and controls the secondary side from the primary side, eliminating any need for feedbacks signals from the secondary. This minimizes the chip selection and the footprint ...
