Product details
Overview
The iW1791-05 from Renesas Electronics is a primary-side AC/DC PWM controller for rapid charge applications, supporting USB Power Delivery (USB PD) and Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0/3.0 protocols. It delivers high-resolution voltage/current control with 10mV DLNK step resolution, multi-level CV/CC regulation without secondary feedback, and <20mW no-load power consumption at 230VAC with 5V output.
For engineers reviewing the iW1791-05 datasheet, iW1791-05 pinout, iW1791-05 application, or iW1791-05 equivalent, key selection considerations include its SOIC-8 package, DLNK-based digital communication with secondary controllers, source-charging VCC startup, quasi-resonant operation, and support for 3.6–12V QC3.0 output in 200mV increments.
Technical Context
The iW1791-05 implements Renesas' PrimAccurate™ technology for primary-side regulation, eliminating loop compensation components while maintaining stability across line/load/temperature. Its proprietary DLNK protocol enables bidirectional digital communication-including output voltage requests, current limits, undershoot detection, and OVP-over a single optocoupler.
It operates in quasi-resonant mode with load-adaptive maximum constant-frequency PWM switching, supports multi-mode PWM/PFM control, and integrates SmartDefender+™ for soft-short mitigation without latching. The device uses source-charging VCC technology to achieve ultra-low standby power and eliminates external active start-up circuitry.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar primary-side rapid-charge PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP6908A | Supports SR control only; requires external primary controller; no DLNK or PPS support | Limited to QC2.0 and basic CV/CC; no USB PD PPS or 10mV resolution | Choose when cost-sensitive QC2.0-only designs use discrete primary + SR architecture |
| UCC28780 | TI's active-clamp flyback controller with HV startup; supports USB PD but lacks DLNK and 10mV PPS | Requires full secondary feedback loop; higher BOM count and layout complexity | Prefer when active-clamp topology is mandated and DLNK integration is not required |
Compared with MP6908A and UCC28780, the iW1791-05 uniquely integrates DLNK-based digital communication, 10mV PPS resolution, and source-charging VCC to reduce component count and enable <20mW no-load power-making it optimal for compact, standards-compliant USB PD/QC3.0 adapters.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the iW1791-05 in a USB PD power supply?
The iW1791-05 serves as the primary-side PWM controller in USB PD power supplies, executing quasi-resonant switching, multi-level constant-voltage/constant-current regulation, and DLNK-based digital communication with the secondary-side controller. It enables 10mV PPS voltage steps and achieves <20mW no-load power-critical for iW1791-05-based adapters meeting international energy efficiency standards.
Does the iW1791-05 require an external optocoupler for feedback?
No-the iW1791-05 uses Renesas' DLNK protocol to transmit rapid-charge information (voltage requests, OVP, undershoot) over a single optocoupler, eliminating traditional secondary-side feedback loops and compensation networks. This architecture reduces BOM count and improves stability, making the iW1791-05 ideal for compact, high-reliability USB PD designs.
How does the iW1791-05 achieve ultra-low no-load power consumption?
The iW1791-05 employs source-charging VCC technology that charges the IC's VCC capacitor directly from the MOSFET source during startup, removing the need for an external active start-up circuit. Combined with multi-mode PWM/PFM control and optimized quiescent current, this enables <20mW no-load power at 230VAC with 5V output-a key feature of the iW1791-05 for energy-regulated markets.
What is the significance of the 10mV DLNK voltage step in the iW1791-05?
The 10mV DLNK voltage step allows the iW1791-05 to meet USB PD Programmable Power Supply (PPS) specifications, enabling precise, real-time voltage adjustments requested by compatible devices. This resolution supports tighter regulation during dynamic load changes and is a distinguishing capability of the iW1791-05 versus legacy QC2.0 controllers limited to 200mV steps.
Can the iW1791-05 be used without a Renesas secondary-side controller?
The iW1791-05 is optimized for use with Renesas' DLNK-compatible secondary controllers (e.g., iW657P) and relies on their proprietary digital link for voltage/current negotiation and protection signaling. While basic CV/CC operation may be possible with non-DLNK secondaries, full USB PD PPS, QC3.0, and SmartDefender+™ features require the iW1791-05 paired with a Renesas secondary-side controller.
