Product details
Overview
HIP6004BCRZ-T from Intersil is a synchronous-rectified buck PWM controller with integrated voltage-mode regulation, 5-bit VID DAC, and output voltage monitoring for microprocessor power supplies. It drives two N-channel MOSFETs, supports 1.3V–3.5V output via TTL-compatible VID inputs, delivers ±1% output regulation over temperature and line, and operates at 200kHz (adjustable 50kHz–1MHz) with 0%–100% duty cycle control.
For engineers reviewing the HIP6004BCRZ-T datasheet, HIP6004BCRZ-T pinout, HIP6004BCRZ-T application, or HIP6004BCRZ-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its QFN-20 package, rDS(ON)-based overcurrent sensing, VSEN/PGOOD/OVP monitoring architecture, and compatibility with Pentium®/PowerPC™/K6™ CPU core voltage regulation requirements.
Technical Context
The HIP6004BCRZ-T implements voltage-mode PWM control using a 200kHz free-running oscillator (programmable via RT resistor), a 15MHz gain-bandwidth error amplifier with 6V/µs slew rate, and a precision internal reference tracked by a 5-bit DAC. Its feedback loop uses COMP (error amp output) and FB (inverting input) pins for external compensation.
Overcurrent protection relies on sensing the upper MOSFET's rDS(ON) via OCSET and PHASE pins-eliminating external current-sense resistors-while overvoltage protection triggers OVP pin sourcing (60mA) to drive an external SCR. Power-good status is generated by a window comparator tracking DACOUT with ±10% threshold and 2% hysteresis.

FAQ
What is the recommended input voltage range for HIP6004BCRZ-T?
The HIP6004BCRZ-T is specified for a +12V ±10% bias supply on the VCC pin, and it supports converter input voltages of +5V or +12V as noted in the datasheet. The OCSET pin monitors VIN through the upper MOSFET's rDS(ON), so the actual input rail must be compatible with the selected MOSFET's voltage rating and the HIP6004BCRZ-T's absolute maximum ratings (VCC ≤ +15V). Operation outside these ranges risks permanent damage.
Does HIP6004BCRZ-T support 0% to 100% duty cycle operation?
Yes, the HIP6004BCRZ-T supports full 0% to 100% PWM duty cycle control, enabling deep dropout operation and seamless transitions between active and low-power states. This capability is explicitly stated in the datasheet and enabled by its voltage-mode architecture and high-bandwidth error amplifier-critical for maintaining regulation during CPU sleep-state transitions where output voltage must remain stable even at near-zero load.
How does overcurrent protection work in HIP6004BCRZ-T without a sense resistor?
The HIP6004BCRZ-T implements rDS(ON)-based overcurrent protection using the OCSET and PHASE pins. An internal 200µA current source develops a voltage across an external ROCSET resistor, which is compared to the voltage drop across the upper MOSFET's rDS(ON) sensed at PHASE. When the latter exceeds the former, the controller initiates hiccup-mode soft-start recovery. This eliminates the need for a discrete current-sense resistor, reducing power loss and board area in the HIP6004BCRZ-T design.
What is the function of the '11111' VID code on HIP6004BCRZ-T?
The '11111' VID code (all five VID pins high) disables the HIP6004BCRZ-T gate drivers and forces 0V output, activating the Power-On Reset function. Uniquely, PGOOD asserts high in this state-unlike normal operation-allowing AND-ing of PGOOD signals in dual-CPU systems. This behavior is documented in the datasheet and ensures safe initialization sequencing without requiring external logic to manage reset coordination between processors.
Is HIP6004BCRZ-T still recommended for new designs?
No, the HIP6004BCRZ-T is marked "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS" in the official Intersil datasheet (FN4567 Rev 3.00). While fully functional and supported for legacy repair and continuity, Intersil provided no recommended replacement and advised contacting Technical Support for migration guidance. Aetrix Electronics maintains inventory for ongoing production of existing platforms but recommends evaluating HIP6006BCRZ-T for new implementations requiring similar functionality.
