Product details
Overview
The iW1790-07 from Renesas Electronics is a primary-side AC/DC PWM controller optimized for Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 and 3.0 rapid charging adapters, featuring XM-Comm transformer-based communication, quasi-resonant operation, <20mW no-load power consumption at 230VAC/5V–2A, and multi-level constant-voltage/constant-current regulation without secondary feedback.
For engineers reviewing the iW1790-07 datasheet, iW1790-07 pinout, iW1790-07 application, or iW1790-07 equivalent, key selection considerations include its SOIC-8 package, QC2.0/QC3.0 protocol support with iW662-01/iW662-02 secondary controllers, kCC = 0.5 startup current gain, 2.9V CC shutdown voltage, and integrated SmartDefender+™ fault handling for cable soft shorts.
Technical Context
The iW1790-07 implements primary-side regulation using VSENSE-based auxiliary winding sensing and ISENSE-based cycle-by-cycle peak current control, enabling tight CV/CC without optocouplers. Its XM-Comm interface communicates output voltage requests, current limits, and OVP/undershoot data bidirectionally with iW662-01/iW662-02 via the main transformer.
It uses source-charging VCC technology to eliminate active start-up circuitry and achieves quasi-resonant switching with load-adaptive maximum frequency control. Multi-mode PWM/PFM operation and 4-level user-configurable cable drop compensation operate independently of output voltage setting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC supply range | −0.3 V to 45.0 V - supports wide-input offline operation without external LDO |
| No-load power consumption | <20 mW at 230 VAC, 5 V/2 A output - meets stringent EU CoC Tier 2 and DOE Level VI |
| Startup kCC gain | 0.5 - sets initial constant-current regulation slope in QC2.0/QC3.0 handshake sequences |
| CC shutdown voltage | 2.9 V - triggers current-limit disable during over-current events with iW662 secondary |
| Operating junction temperature | −40 °C to +150 °C - enables high-power density adapter designs with minimal heatsinking |
| Thermal resistance θJA | 160 °C/W - defines SOIC-8 thermal derating envelope for continuous 15 W operation |
| ESD rating (HBM) | ±2000 V - ensures robustness during board assembly and field handling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar primary-side rapid charge controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP6908A | Secondary-side synchronous rectifier controller only; requires companion primary controller and optocoupler-based feedback | Lacks XM-Comm, cannot replace iW1790-07 standalone; used downstream of iW1790-07 in same design | Select when optimizing SR efficiency in iW1790-07-based adapters, not as functional replacement |
| INN3266C | Integrated primary-side switch + controller in InSOP-24 package; includes X-cap discharge; no XM-Comm; uses digital communication over auxiliary winding | Supports QC3.0 but requires different secondary (INN369x) and lacks SmartDefender+™ soft-short mitigation | Choose for higher integration (no external MOSFET) and built-in safety features, accepting trade-offs in XM-Comm compatibility and soft-short handling |
Compared with MP6908A and INN3266C, the iW1790-07 uniquely delivers transformer-coupled bidirectional protocol communication with iW662, enabling true optocoupler-free QC3.0 implementation and SmartDefender+™ adaptive soft-short response-critical for high-reliability mobile adapter designs.

FAQ
What is the function of the SD pin on the iW1790-07?
The SD (Shutdown) pin on the iW1790-07 serves as an analog input for external over-temperature protection using an NTC thermistor or as a logic-level shutdown control. When configured for OTP, it monitors temperature-dependent voltage and initiates shutdown if the threshold is exceeded. This dual-function pin enables flexible thermal management in compact iW1790-07-based adapters without adding discrete comparators.
Which secondary-side controllers are compatible with the iW1790-07?
The iW1790-07 is designed exclusively for use with iW662-01 or iW662-02 secondary-side controllers, as specified in the official ordering information table. These pairings enable full XM-Comm functionality for Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 and 3.0 protocols. Using other secondary controllers - including iW660 or iW663 - will not support the iW1790-07's defined protocol stack or kCC/CC shutdown parameters.
Does the iW1790-07 support USB Power Delivery (USB-PD)?
No, the iW1790-07 does not support USB Power Delivery. It is specifically engineered for Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 and 3.0, Samsung AFC, and Huawei FCP protocols via XM-Comm. USB-PD requires a different physical layer (BMC signaling over CC pins) and policy engine not implemented in the iW1790-07 architecture or supported by its iW662-01/iW662-02 companion controllers.
What is the significance of the "kCC = 0.5" parameter for the iW1790-07?
The kCC = 0.5 parameter for the iW1790-07 defines the current-sense gain applied during constant-current regulation startup and handshake phases with iW662-01/iW662-02. This calibrated gain ensures accurate current limiting across input voltage variations and is factory-trimmed to match QC2.0/QC3.0 specification requirements - a value distinct from other iW1790 variants like iW1790-08 (kCC = 0.422).
How does the iW1790-07 achieve <20 mW no-load power consumption?
The iW1790-07 achieves <20 mW no-load power consumption through source-charging VCC technology, which eliminates the need for an external active start-up circuit, and ultra-low quiescent current design in quasi-resonant mode. This performance is validated at 230 VAC with a typical 5 V/2 A output configuration - a key requirement for iW1790-07 in energy-efficient rapid charge adapter designs targeting global efficiency standards.
