InnoSwitch3 product Families Featuring PowiGaN Technology
PowiGaN is Power Integrations’ internally developed gallium nitride (GaN) technology. PowiGaN switches replace the traditional silicon transistors on the primary side of PI’s highly integrated offline flyback switcher ICs, reducing switching losses and enabling chargers, adapters and open frame power supplies that are more efficient, smaller and lighter than silicon alternatives.

Hyperfast recovery, space-saving devices
Off-Line CV/CC QR Flyback Switcher IC with Integrated Primary-Side Switch, Synchronous Rectification, FluxLink Feedback and Constant Power Profile
The InnoSwitch3-CP family of ICs dramatically simplifies the design and manufacture of flyback power converters, particularly those requiring high efficiency and/or compact size. The InnoSwitch3-CP family incorporates a high-voltage primary-side switch, primary and secondary controllers, and safety-rated feedback into a single IC. These devices incorporate multiple protection features including line over and under-voltage protection, output over-voltage and over-current limiting, and over-temperature shutdown. Devices are available that support the common combinations of latching and auto-restart behaviors required by applications such as quick charge and USB PD designs. The devices are available with and without cable-drop compensation.

Digitally Controllable Off-Line CV/CC QR Flyback Switcher IC with Integrated High-Voltage Switch, Synchronous Rectification and FluxLink Feedback
The InnoSwitch3-Pro series family of ICs dramatically simplifies the development and manufacturing of fully programmable, highly efficient power supplies, particularly those in compact enclosures. The universal I²C interface enables dynamic control of output voltage and current along with many configurable features. Telemetry provides reporting of programmed features and fault modes.
InnoSwitch3-Pro devices are ideal for AC/DC power supply applications where fine (10 mV, 50 mA) output voltage and current adjustment are necessary. Typical implementations comprise a system microprocessor or dedicated microcontroller with an I²C port that is used to configure, control and supervise operation of the power sub-system. The uVCC pin provides bias to the microprocessor in standalone implementations such as USB PD adapters and chargers.
