Power Integrations Expands InnoSwitch4-CZ Integrated Switcher Family to 220 W
Power Integrations (NASDAQ: POWI) has introduced new high-voltage GaN switches that improve efficiency to 95%, enabling ultra-compact USB PD 3.1 adapters. The expanded InnoSwitch™4-CZ family supports adapters and chargers up to 220 W, enhancing design flexibility for power adapter manufacturers. A key feature is that the ICs minimize waste heat and can operate without bulky heatsinks. With a price starting at $3.07 for chipset components, the company aims to meet the growing demand for powerful charging solutions.
- InnoSwitch4-CZ family supports adapters and chargers up to 220 W.
- Efficiency improved to 95%, reducing waste heat and eliminating bulky heatsinks.
- Pricing for chipset components starts at $3.07, attractive for mass production.

“Road warriors demand light, compact, powerful adapters capable of rapidly charging all their mission-critical devices. The expanded power range of the new InnoSwitch4-CZ and ClampZero ICs allows charger/adapter designers to easily exceed 23 W per cubic inch for single- and multiple-output USB PD 3.1 certified designs,” explained
InnoSwitch4-CZ ICs include a robust 750 V PowiGaN™ primary switch, active clamp drive and synchronous rectification in a compact InSOP™-24D package. Secondary-side sensing – achieved using Power Integrations’ FluxLink™ high-speed communications technology – provides exceptional CV/CC accuracy.
Adds Ong: “The use of a non-complementary-mode active clamp enables designs that work in both continuous (CCM) and discontinuous (DCM) modes. By operating across modes, it is much easier to support the wide load/range conditions often encountered in USB PD applications.”
InnoSwitch4-CZ ICs consume less than 30 mW at no-load, including input line voltage monitoring. The ICs feature a comprehensive suite of protection features, including auto-restart or latching fault response for output over- and under-voltage; multiple output under-voltage fault thresholds; and latching or hysteretic primary over-temperature protection.
