EZ-PD™ PAG1: Power Adapter Generation 1
Integrated QR flyback chipset for USB-PD adapters and chargers
EZ-PD™ PAG1 is a complete AC-DC charger and adapter solution with integrated USB PD. It is a 2-chip solution with EZ-PD™ PAG1P and EZ-PD™ PAG1S and works in a secondary side controlled Quasi-resonant (QR) Flyback topology.
EZ-PD™ PAG1P is a primary start-up controller for AC-DC applications. It is designed to work with EZ-PD™ PAG1S in a secondary side-controlled AC-DC flyback converter topology where the voltage and current regulation is performed by EZ-PD™ PAG1S, and EZ-PD™ PAG1P provides the start-up function, drives the primary FET, and responds to the fault condition. The EZ-PD™ PAG1P also supports X-cap discharge-mode for better efficiency.
EZ-PD™ PAG1S is a single-chip, secondary-side controller that integrates the synchronous rectification driver, PD controller, and a wide range of protection circuits. The controller
is designed to support a traditional primary controlled flyback architecture, as well as a more efficient secondary controlled flyback architecture with a simple primary startup controller. EZ-PD™ PAG1S helps design world-class, high-performance power adapters at lower BOM costs.
