IW3616 概述

The Renesas (formerly Dialog Semiconductor / iWatt) IW3616 is a two-stage AC/DC digital power controller designed for high-power-factor dimmable LED drivers up to 12W. It combines power factor correction (>0.95), low total harmonic distortion (<15%), and low output ripple (<20%) in a SOIC-14 package, targeting residential and commercial dimmable retrofit LED luminaires. The IW3616-00 and IW3616-01 variants share the same silicon and footprint, with minor firmware mapping differences for dimmer compatibility.

An AC/DC LED driver controller is a power management IC that converts mains AC voltage into a regulated DC current suitable for driving high-brightness LEDs. The 'two-stage' architecture separates power-factor-correction (PFC) and constant-current regulation, enabling compliance with international energy regulations while supporting legacy phase-cut (TRIAC/ELV) dimmers. Within the broader power-management hierarchy, the IW3616 sits under LED Drivers -> Power Management ICs -> Integrated Circuits.

Key features include Dialog's proprietary Flickerless digital control technology that detects dimmer type and phase to provide dynamic impedance matching, eliminating visible flicker at low dim levels. The device supports leading-edge (TRIAC) and trailing-edge (ELV) dimmers, complies with IEC 61000-3-2 EMC specifications, and aligns with Zhaga hot-plug and NEMA SSL 6 dimming curves. Integrated BJT power-device drive reduces external protection-component count and enables the use of lower-cost electrolytic output capacitors.

The IC operates as a digital primary-side controller, sampling the input waveform and modulating the BJT switch to maintain high PF and tight LED current regulation across 90-264VAC universal-input range. Internal state machines handle dimmer detection, soft-start, and fault recovery without firmware development. The 200kHz switching frequency (per LCSC datasheet summary) keeps the EMI filter compact.

Typical applications include A19/E27 dimmable retrofit LED bulbs, downlights, sconces, and under-cabinet luminaires up to 12W where flicker-free TRIAC dimming is required. The high-PF, low-THD performance also suits commercial troffers and panel lights in regions with strict harmonic-current regulations such as the EU and California Title 24.

Designers should note that the IW3616 uses a primary-side-controlled topology; output current accuracy depends on transformer inductance tolerance and sense-resistor precision. Use the iW3616 reference design EVK as the schematic starting point, and verify dimmer compatibility matrix against the target country list before committing to a BOM.

典型应用

IW3616 适用于 6 应用s: Dimmable A19 / E27 LED Retrofit Bulb, Commercial Dimmable Downlight (4-6 inch), Wall Sconce and Vanity Luminaire, Under-Cabinet LED Strip Driver, Panel Light and Troffer (Low-Power), Decorative Chandelier LED Lamp.

💡

Dimmable A19 / E27 LED Retrofit Bulb

The IW3616's 12W output ceiling and greater than 0.95 power factor make it the canonical controller for residential dimmable A19 retrofit LED bulbs running on 90-264VAC universal mains. Dialog's Flickerless digital control detects whether a leading-edge TRIAC or trailing-edge ELV dimmer is installed, then synthesizes the dynamic impedance that lets the bulb dim smoothly down to 5% without visible flicker - a key purchase driver in the residential channel. The two-stage topology meets IEC 61000-3-2 Class C harmonic-current limits so the bulb qualifies for sale in the EU, Australia, and California Title 24 jurisdictions. Designers pair the IW3616 with a 1-2W primary-side BJT and an off-the-shelf EE13 transformer from the Renesas reference design.

🏭

Commercial Dimmable Downlight (4-6 inch)

Commercial 4-6 inch recessed downlights up to 12W benefit from the IW3616's high power factor (>0.95) and low THD (<15%) which together keep harmonic injection below the limits set by IEC 61000-3-2 for commercial lighting. The two-stage architecture separates PFC and constant-current regulation, so the driver keeps a clean current waveform even when many fixtures are ganged on a single 0-10V or phase-cut dimmer circuit. Output ripple below 20% keeps flicker safely under the IEEE 1789 'low-risk' threshold for office-task lighting. The SOIC-14 package is small enough to fit inside the driver cavity of most 4-inch retrofit cans.

🏭

Wall Sconce and Vanity Luminaire

Wall sconces and vanity luminaires in hospitality and residential projects require smooth, silent dimming from 100% down to 1% without buzz or flicker - exactly the use case the IW3616 was designed for. The controller's Flickerless algorithm holds LED current stable through the TRIAC holding current region, eliminating the flicker that plagues dimmable LED bulbs on older dimmers. Output power up to 12W covers the typical 6-9W sconce load with margin, and the SOIC-14 footprint allows the driver to hide inside a shallow fixture canopy. Designers should still validate against the target country dimmer compatibility list (referenced on the Renesas IW3616 part-details page).

💡

Under-Cabinet LED Strip Driver

Under-cabinet LED strips drawing 8-12W are a natural fit for the IW3616 because the SOIC-14 controller can be placed on a narrow linear driver board that fits in the cabinet valence. The universal 90-264VAC input means a single SKU ships worldwide. The two-stage topology keeps PF above 0.95, so the driver is accepted under California's Title 24 and the EU's Ecodesign lighting regulations. Less than 20% output ripple ensures eye-strain-free illumination over kitchen work surfaces. For dimming, the controller accepts standard phase-cut wall dimmers without external interface components.

🏭

Panel Light and Troffer (Low-Power)

Edge-lit LED panels and 1x1 / 2x2 troffers up to 12W are increasingly specified with phase-cut dimming for retrofit into existing 0-10V or TRIAC-controlled circuits. The IW3616's high PF and sub-15% THD meet the harmonic limits required by DLC Premium and DesignLights Consortium commercial listings, while the less-than-20% output ripple satisfies IEEE 1789 flicker requirements for office and classroom use. The SOIC-14 package and external BJT drive keep the BOM lean enough to fit in the slim driver cavity of most flat panels. For panels above 12W, step up to the iW3637 family.

💡

Decorative Chandelier LED Lamp

Decorative chandeliers often mix multiple small LED lamps on a single phase-cut dimmer, exposing the system to low holding current and ringing that trips ordinary LED drivers. The IW3616's Flickerless algorithm maintains stable LED current through these edge cases and supports dimming down to below 5% on most leading-edge and trailing-edge dimmers. The 12W ceiling per channel covers most chandelier candle and globe lamp replacements. Designers can reuse the same BOM worldwide because the universal 90-264VAC input covers all major residential mains voltages.

What is the IW3616 LED driver IC?
The IW3616 is a two-stage AC/DC digital power controller from Renesas (formerly Dialog Semiconductor / iWatt) designed for high-power-factor dimmable LED drivers up to 12W. According to the Renesas product page, it combines power factor greater than 0.95, THD below 15%, and output ripple below 20% in a SOIC-14 package, targeting residential and commercial dimmable retrofit luminaires.
What is the maximum output power of the IW3616?
The IW3616 is rated for a maximum output power of 12W in dimmable SSL LED lighting applications. The controller drives an external BJT power switch in a two-stage flyback topology; for higher power levels (e.g. 25W or 45W), consider the related iW3617 or iW3637 family members from Renesas.
Does the IW3616 support TRIAC dimmers?
Yes, the IW3616 supports both leading-edge TRIAC dimmers and trailing-edge ELV dimmers using Dialog's Flickerless digital control technology. The controller detects dimmer type and phase dynamically, then synthesizes the appropriate dynamic impedance so the LED current tracks the dimmer position without visible flicker at low dim levels.
What is the power factor and THD performance of the IW3616?
The IW3616 delivers power factor greater than 0.95 and total harmonic distortion below 15% across the universal 90-264VAC input range. These figures meet IEC 61000-3-2 Class C limits for lighting equipment, making the part suitable for commercial installations in regions with strict harmonic-current regulations such as the EU and California Title 24.
What is the difference between IW3616-00 and IW3616-01?
The IW3616-00 and IW3616-01 share the same silicon and SOIC-14 footprint; the difference is firmware mapping for specific dimmer compatibility lists and safety regions. The IW3616-01 additionally references NEMA SSL 6 dimming curves on the Renesas part-details page, while the IW3616-00 is the general-purpose variant stocked by LCSC and Mouser.
Where can I buy the IW3616 online?
As of 2026-10-08, the IW3616-00 is in stock at LCSC Electronics starting at USD 0.3732 per unit, and the IW3616-01 is in stock at LCSC starting at USD 0.55 per unit. Mouser and DigiKey also list Renesas/Dialog inventory; lead time for the bare 'IW3616' generic part is quote-only and we recommend ordering the -00 or -01 suffix explicitly.
What is the price of the IW3616-00 in volume?
As of 2026-10-08, LCSC lists the IW3616-00 at USD 0.3732 per unit at qty 1, scaling to roughly USD 0.30-0.34 at 1000-piece reels. Bulk pricing from authorized Renesas distributors follows the same tiering. XAIPART stocks the part with the same tiering structure shown in the pricing table on this page.
What is the lead time for the IW3616?
As of 2026-10-08, the IW3616-00 and IW3616-01 are listed in stock at LCSC and Mouser with no quoted lead-time penalty. Bare 'IW3616' (no suffix) is generally quote-only because Renesas ships in -00 / -01 firmware variants. For long-lead orders above 50k pieces, request a factory schedule from Renesas.
Is the IW3616 a drop-in replacement for the iW3614?
The iW3614 and IW3616 share the SOIC-14 footprint but differ in firmware, maximum output power (iW3614 is 8W vs IW3616 12W), and dimmer mapping tables. The IW3616 is therefore a functional upgrade (not a strict drop-in) for iW3614 designs whose output power does not exceed 12W; existing iW3614 BOMs may need transformer and sense-resistor re-selection.
Where can I download the IW3616 datasheet PDF?
The official IW3616 datasheet is hosted on the Renesas website at renesas.com/en/products/iw3616. A mirror copy is available from Ersa Electronics at datasheet.ersaelectronics.com and from Lisleapex's compare page. The datasheet is approximately 6 pages covering pinout, electrical characteristics, dimmer compatibility matrix, and reference schematic.
What is the pinout of the IW3616 SOIC-14?
The IW3616 uses a 14-pin SOIC package with pins assigned to functions including VCC (auxiliary supply), GND, DRAIN (BJT driver), CS (current sense), FB (feedback), DIM (dimmer detect), and auxiliary/support pins. For the complete pin-by-pin description, download the datasheet PDF linked above or view the SOIC-14 pinout diagram in the package section of this page.
Is the IW3616 suitable for commercial dimmable downlights?
Yes, the IW3616 is well suited to commercial dimmable downlights up to 12W because it meets the IEC 61000-3-2 harmonic limits, supports both TRIAC and ELV dimmers, and its less-than-20% output ripple keeps flicker below the IEEE 1789 visible-flicker threshold for most duty cycles. For higher-power commercial fixtures, step up to the iW3637 45W family.
When should I choose the IW3616 over the iW3617?
Choose the IW3616 when your maximum LED load is 12W or below and you need a compact SOIC-14 footprint. Choose the iW3617 when you need 18-25W output power (different transformer and BJT sizing). Both share Dialog's Flickerless firmware family, so dimmer compatibility is similar, but thermal management and MOSFET/BJT selection differ.
What is the best cross-brand equivalent for the IW3616?
There is no widely-distributed cross-brand pin-compatible drop-in replacement for the IW3616 because its dimmer-detection firmware is proprietary Dialog technology. Comparable alternatives (e.g. onsemi NCL30051, TI TPS92360, Silergy SY58220) achieve similar PF/THD performance but require PCB rework, BOM changes, and re-qualification of the dimmer matrix.
What are the key specifications of the IW3616 that engineers should know?
The IW3616 is a 12W two-stage AC/DC LED driver controller with PF greater than 0.95, THD less than 15%, output ripple less than 20%, 200kHz switching frequency, 90-264VAC universal input, and SOIC-14 packaging. It drives an external BJT, supports TRIAC and ELV dimmers with Flickerless technology, and complies with IEC 61000-3-2, Zhaga, and NEMA SSL 6.

选型指南

Choose the IW3616-00 when you need a general-purpose 12W dimmable LED driver IC for residential A19 bulbs, sconces, or under-cabinet strips, and the dimmer list is not strictly NEMA SSL 6. Choose the IW3616-01 when your commercial project specifies NEMA SSL 6 dimming curves or when you are shipping to North American commercial customers who demand DLC Premium listing. Choose the iW3617-01 when output power exceeds 12W (up to 25W), accepting a higher BOM cost. Avoid using the iW3614-00 in new designs because its Flickerless firmware revision does not handle modern ELV dimmers as gracefully and it caps at 8W.

设计说明

The IW3616 dissipates roughly 250-400mW at 12W output (estimated: 90% efficiency, 5V VCC regulator drop, 1mA quiescent). The SOIC-14 package has a theta_JA of approximately 110 C/W on a 1oz 2-layer 1-square-inch copper pour, so the junction rises 30-45C above ambient. For enclosed luminaires with ambient above 70C, derate to 10W maximum output or add thermal vias to the GND pin. The external BJT dissipates the bulk of the power and needs its own heatsinking through the main transformer bobbin.

Do not substitute the IW3616 for the iW3614 in a field-deployed product without re-qualifying the dimmer matrix - the two parts share the SOIC-14 footprint but have different Flickerless firmware revisions and output-power ceilings (8W vs 12W). The dimmer detection algorithm is sensitive to bleed-resistor value; use the exact 75k-100k part from the reference design BOM rather than a cheaper substitute. The CS pin sense resistor should be 1% tolerance or better; a 5% resistor will degrade output current accuracy by ±5% which is visible at low dim levels.

Keep the high-voltage DRAIN loop area (transformer primary - BJT collector - CS resistor - return) under 0.5 square centimeters to meet EN 55015 conducted EMI limits without a common-mode choke. Place the VCC decoupling capacitor within 3mm of the VCC pin, and route the CS trace as a Kelvin connection directly to the sense resistor pads. The DIM pin trace should be short and away from the DRAIN switching node to prevent false triggering from capacitive coupling.
