Product details
Overview
HIP6004BCB-T from Intersil is a synchronous-rectified buck PWM controller IC designed to drive two N-channel MOSFETs in high-performance microprocessor power supplies. It delivers precise voltage-mode control, 0%–100% duty cycle range, ±1% output regulation over line/temperature, and integrated VID-based DAC (1.3V–3.5V) for dynamic voltage scaling in Pentium® and PowerPC™ systems.
For engineers reviewing the HIP6004BCB-T datasheet, HIP6004BCB-T pinout, HIP6004BCB-T application, or HIP6004BCB-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its 200kHz programmable oscillator (50kHz–1MHz), rDS(ON)-based overcurrent sensing, PGOOD window monitor (±10%), and SOIC-20 package with TTL-compatible VID inputs.
Technical Context
The HIP6004BCB-T implements voltage-mode PWM control using a 200kHz free-running triangle-wave oscillator adjustable via external RT resistor. Its error amplifier provides 15MHz gain-bandwidth and 6V/µs slew rate to support fast transient response in microprocessor VRMs.
It integrates a 5-bit TTL-compatible DAC (VID0–VID4) that sets both output voltage (1.3V–3.5V in 0.05V/0.1V steps) and associated protection thresholds (PGOOD, OVP). Overcurrent detection uses the upper MOSFET's rDS(ON) without a sense resistor, while overvoltage protection triggers an external SCR via OVP pin.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HIP6006CB-T | Higher integration: includes integrated MOSFET drivers with enhanced shoot-through protection; supports wider VIN range (4.5V–15V) | Targeted at newer VRM designs requiring higher gate drive strength and robust fault handling | Preferred when upgrading from HIP6004BCB-T for improved thermal performance and driver robustness |
| ISL6260CRZ-T | Dual-phase capable, supports Intel IMVP-6 compliance; includes telemetry and SMBus interface not present in HIP6004BCB-T | Designed for advanced notebook CPU power delivery with phase interleaving and digital communication | Selected for new designs requiring multi-phase operation or digital PMBus control, not for direct replacement |
Compared with HIP6004BCB-T, HIP6006CB-T offers stronger gate drive and extended input range but retains identical VID interface and SOIC-20 footprint; ISL6260CRZ-T adds multi-phase and digital control at the cost of increased complexity and different package (QFN).

FAQ
What is the function of the VID pins on the HIP6004BCB-T?
The VID0–VID4 pins on the HIP6004BCB-T form a 5-bit TTL-compatible digital interface that programs the internal DAC to set the output voltage reference (DACOUT) between 1.3VDC and 3.5VDC. This reference determines both the regulated output voltage and the thresholds for PGOOD and overvoltage protection. Each unique 5-bit combination corresponds to a specific DACOUT level as defined in Table 1 of the FN4567 datasheet. The HIP6004BCB-T uses these inputs to enable dynamic voltage scaling without external components.
Does the HIP6004BCB-T require an external current-sense resistor?
No, the HIP6004BCB-T does not require an external current-sense resistor. It implements overcurrent protection by monitoring the voltage drop across the upper MOSFET's rDS(ON) using the OCSET pin and an external resistor (ROCSET). An internal 200µA current source develops a reference voltage across ROCSET, and the HIP6004BCB-T compares this to the MOSFET's source-drain voltage to detect overcurrent conditions. This architecture reduces component count, improves efficiency, and lowers solution cost compared to shunt-based sensing.
What is the operating temperature range for the HIP6004BCB-T?
The HIP6004BCB-T is specified for an ambient operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C, as confirmed in the Ordering Information table on page 2 of the FN4567 Rev 3.00 datasheet. This commercial-grade rating applies to all variants including the HIP6004BCB-T (SOIC-20, tape-and-reel). Thermal resistance θJA is 65°C/W for the SOIC package, and maximum junction temperature is rated at 150°C. Operation outside this range may result in degraded performance or reliability failure.
Can the HIP6004BCB-T be used with a +5V input supply?
Yes, the HIP6004BCB-T supports operation from either a +5V or +12V bias supply, as explicitly stated in the datasheet Features section and Recommended Operating Conditions. When using +5V, ensure VCC remains within ±10% tolerance (4.5V–5.5V) and verify that gate drive strength (UGATE/LGATE) and bootstrap circuitry remain sufficient for the selected MOSFETs. The oscillator frequency, error amplifier bandwidth, and protection thresholds remain fully functional across both supply options.
What protection features are integrated into the HIP6004BCB-T?
The HIP6004BCB-T integrates overvoltage protection (OVP), overcurrent protection (OC), and power-good (PGOOD) monitoring. OVP triggers an open-drain output (OVP pin) to activate an external SCR crowbar circuit when VSEN exceeds 115–120% of DACOUT. OC protection cycles the soft-start function in hiccup mode using rDS(ON) sensing. PGOOD asserts low when output voltage deviates beyond ±10% of DACOUT, with 2% hysteresis to prevent chatter. All three functions operate independently and disable PWM output upon fault detection.
