Product details
Overview
The IW3658-20F from Renesas Electronics is a single-stage, phase-cut dimmable SSL LED driver IC with integrated 500V/3A high-voltage MOSFET in SO-7 package, supporting up to 15W output power at 120VAC input, operating in buck-boost topology with primary-side constant current regulation and built-in thermal derating for retrofit lamp applications.
For engineers reviewing the IW3658-20F datasheet, IW3658-20F pinout, IW3658-20F application, or IW3658-20F equivalent, key selection criteria include dimmer compatibility (leading- and trailing-edge), VCC stability across dimmer phase angles, integrated HV MOSFET voltage rating (500V), thermal shutdown threshold (150°C), and SO-7 package pin spacing for HV isolation.
Technical Context
The IW3658-20F implements PrimAccurate™ primary-side sensing to eliminate optocoupler-based feedback, enabling closed-loop constant current regulation without secondary-side components. It operates in boundary conduction mode (BCM) and uses resonant control to achieve >85% typical efficiency while maintaining low EMI.
Its proprietary VCC regulation circuit sustains stable internal supply across varying LED string voltages and dimmer phase angles, preventing low-end flicker. The device supports both R-type/R-L-type leading-edge and R-C-type trailing-edge dimmers, with built-in OVP configuration via CFG pin and over-temperature shutdown at 150°C junction temperature.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED driver controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP4027GQ-Z | Integrated 650V/2A MOSFET; supports 230VAC input natively; no CFG pin for OVP tuning | Better suited for 230VAC high-power-factor designs; lacks configurable OVP | Select MP4027GQ-Z when designing for European mains and prioritizing PF >0.9 over OVP flexibility |
| NCP1075P | Standalone PWM controller (no integrated MOSFET); requires external 650V FET; no primary-side sensing | Requires optocoupler feedback and additional HV components; higher BOM cost and board space | Choose NCP1075P only if legacy design reuse or discrete FET selection is mandatory |

FAQ
What is the maximum output power supported by the IW3658-20F?
The IW3658-20F supports up to 15W output power at 120VAC input. For designs exceeding 12W, thermal validation is required to ensure junction temperature remains below 120°C for reliable operation. The device includes built-in current derating above this threshold to maintain long-term reliability in enclosed lamp housings.
Does the IW3658-20F require an optocoupler for feedback?
No, the IW3658-20F does not require an optocoupler. It uses Dialog's patented PrimAccurate™ primary-side sensing technology to regulate LED current accurately without secondary-side feedback components. This eliminates optocoupler-related aging, cost, and board space, enabling simpler, more reliable designs.
What dimmer types are compatible with the IW3658-20F?
The IW3658-20F is compatible with both leading-edge (R-type and R-L-type) and trailing-edge (R-C-type) wall dimmers. Its advanced dimming control algorithm ensures smooth, flicker-free dimming down to 5% light output across diverse residential and commercial dimmer models.
What is the purpose of the CFG pin on the IW3658-20F?
Pin 8 (CFG) on the IW3658-20F configures the overvoltage protection (OVP) threshold. By applying a specific voltage or resistor divider to this pin, designers can set the LED open-circuit detection level, enabling tailored response to fault conditions without external comparators or logic.
Is the IW3658-20F pin-compatible with other iW3658 variants?
Yes, the IW3658-20F shares identical SO-7 pinout and electrical interface with all iW3658 family members, including -00F, -21F, and -30F. Differences lie in internal MOSFET ratings (500V/3A vs. 650V/2A), optimization (high PF vs. filament load), and input voltage support (120VAC vs. 230VAC), but pin assignment and function remain unchanged.
