Product details
Overview
HIP6004BCBZ from Intersil is a synchronous-rectified buck PWM controller IC designed for high-performance microprocessor power supplies. It drives two N-channel MOSFETs, delivers 1.3V–3.5V output via 5-bit TTL-compatible DAC (±1% regulation), supports 50kHz–1MHz programmable switching frequency, and integrates overvoltage/overcurrent protection using rDS(ON)-based current sensing - deployed in Pentium Pro, PowerPC™, and K6™ CPU VRMs.
For engineers reviewing the HIP6004BCBZ datasheet, HIP6004BCBZ pinout, HIP6004BCBZ application, or HIP6004BCBZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its voltage-mode control architecture, 0%–100% duty cycle range, 15MHz error amplifier GBW, ±10% PGOOD window, and SOIC-20 package compatibility with legacy microprocessor VRM designs.
Technical Context
The HIP6004BCBZ implements single-loop voltage-mode PWM control with a 200kHz free-running oscillator adjustable from 50kHz to >1MHz via RT-to-GND or RT-to-VCC resistor networks. Its error amplifier provides 15MHz gain-bandwidth and 6V/µs slew rate to support fast transient response in CPU power delivery.
Overcurrent protection operates without external sense resistors by comparing voltage across the upper MOSFET's rDS(ON) against a reference set by OCSET pin current (200µA typical) and ROCSET. Output voltage is digitally programmed via VID0–VID4 pins, setting both DACOUT and corresponding PGOOD/OVP thresholds per Table 1.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 20-lead SOIC (M20.3), RoHS-compliant Pb-free finish, JEDEC MS-013AC compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VSEN (1) | Output voltage feedback monitor | Connects directly to converter output; feeds PGOOD comparator and OVP circuit - defines regulation point |
| OCSET (2) | Overcurrent threshold programming | 200µA current source sets trip point with ROCSET resistor and upper MOSFET rDS(ON); enables lossless current sensing |
| SS (3) | Soft-start timing control | 10µA internal current charges external CSS capacitor; controls ramp-up time and prevents inrush current |
| VID0–VID4 (4–8) | Digital voltage identification inputs | TTL-compatible 5-bit bus selects DACOUT voltage; determines output level, PGOOD, and OVP thresholds |
| COMP (9) | Error amplifier output | Drives compensation network; connects to FB through RC network to stabilize voltage-mode loop |
| FB (10) | Error amplifier inverting input | Connected to VSEN via resistor divider; closes feedback loop for output voltage regulation |
| GND (11) | Signal ground reference | Reference for all analog and logic signals; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| PGOOD (12) | Power-good status indicator | Open-drain output pulled low when VSEN is outside ±10% of DACOUT; high during disable ('11111' VID) |
| PHASE (13) | High-side switch node monitor | Connects to upper MOSFET source; provides return path for UGATE drive and rDS(ON) sensing |
| UGATE (14) | Upper MOSFET gate driver output | Source/sink capable (500mA/5.5Ω typical); drives N-channel high-side FET via bootstrap circuit |
| BOOT (15) | Bootstrap supply input | Provides floating bias for UGATE driver; requires external bootstrap capacitor between BOOT and PHASE |
| PGND (16) | Power ground return | Low-side MOSFET source connection; separates power and signal grounds to reduce noise |
| LGATE (17) | Lower MOSFET gate driver output | Source/sink capable (450mA/3.5Ω typical); drives N-channel synchronous rectifier |
| VCC (18) | Bias supply input | +12V ±10% main supply; powers internal logic, drivers, and amplifiers |
| OVP (19) | Overvoltage protection output | Active-high open-collector output; triggers external SCR for input crowbar on >115% overvoltage |
| RT (20) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor to GND increases frequency (~200kHz + 5×10⁶/RT); resistor to VCC decreases frequency (~200kHz – 4×10⁷/RT) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Lossless overcurrent protection | Uses upper MOSFET rDS(ON) instead of sense resistor - reduces BOM cost and PCB area while improving efficiency |
| Wide-range digital voltage programming | 32 discrete output levels (1.3–3.5V) via 5-bit VID interface - supports multiple microprocessor families without hardware change |
| High-bandwidth error amplifier | 15MHz GBW and 6V/µs slew rate enable >100kHz closed-loop bandwidth - critical for CPU load-step response |
| Programmable switching frequency | 50kHz–1MHz range via single RT resistor - allows optimization of size (higher fSW) vs. efficiency (lower fSW) |
| Integrated power-good monitoring | ±10% window with 2% hysteresis on VSEN - provides reliable system reset signaling without external comparators |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HIP6006BCBZ | Higher 200kHz base frequency (vs. 200kHz), identical VID range and SOIC-20 package; adds enhanced thermal shutdown | Targeted at higher-power CPU VRMs where tighter thermal management is required | Select HIP6006BCBZ only if thermal shutdown functionality is needed - otherwise HIP6004BCBZ remains optimal for cost-sensitive legacy designs |
| ISL6522CBZ | Same manufacturer, 20-pin SOIC, but uses current-mode control and supports 3.3V/5V input; lacks rDS(ON) current sensing | Designed for newer VRM 8.5+ compliance with tighter transient specs and dual-phase capability | ISL6522CBZ requires redesign for current sensing and compensation - not drop-in; use only for new designs targeting VRM 8.5+ compliance |
Compared with HIP6006BCBZ and ISL6522CBZ, the HIP6004BCBZ offers the most direct fit for legacy Pentium Pro/K6™ systems due to its voltage-mode architecture, identical pinout, and proven rDS(ON) current sensing - avoiding layout changes or compensation rework.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the HIP6004BCBZ?
The HIP6004BCBZ is specified for an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table on page 4 of FN4567 Rev 3.00. This commercial-grade rating aligns with its target use in desktop motherboard VRMs and embedded microprocessor power supplies where airflow and thermal management are controlled.
Does the HIP6004BCBZ require an external current-sense resistor?
No, the HIP6004BCBZ does not require an external current-sense resistor. It implements lossless overcurrent protection by monitoring the voltage drop across the upper MOSFET's rDS(ON) using the OCSET pin and an internal 200µA current source - a key differentiator confirmed in the Functional Description and Applications sections of the datasheet.
Can the HIP6004BCBZ operate from a +5V supply instead of +12V?
Yes, the HIP6004BCBZ supports operation from either +5V or +12V input as stated in the Features section and Operating Conditions table. However, the recommended VCC supply is +12V ±10%, and +5V operation may limit gate drive strength and maximum achievable switching frequency depending on external component selection.
What is the function of the '11111' VID code on the HIP6004BCBZ?
The '11111' VID code (all VID pins high) disables the HIP6004BCBZ gate drivers and forces 0V output, activating Power-On Reset behavior. Uniquely, PGOOD asserts high in this state - a design feature enabling AND-gating of PGOOD signals in dual-CPU systems, as explicitly documented in the Output Voltage Program section on page 7.
Is the HIP6004BCBZ pin-compatible with other HIP6004x variants like HIP6004BCRZ?
No, the HIP6004BCBZ (SOIC-20) is not pin-compatible with HIP6004BCRZ (QFN-20). Although both share identical electrical functionality and pin numbering, the QFN package has different pad layout, thermal pad placement, and soldering requirements. The SOIC and QFN variants require separate PCB footprints - confirmed in the Ordering Information table on page 2.
