Product details
Overview
HIP6004DCR from Intersil is a synchronous-rectified buck PWM controller with integrated output voltage monitor, designed to drive two N-channel MOSFETs in high-performance microprocessor power supplies. It delivers ±1% output voltage regulation from 1.100 V to 1.850 V in 25 mV steps via TTL-compatible 5-bit VID inputs, features a 200 kHz free-running oscillator adjustable from 50 kHz to >1 MHz, and uses upper-MOSFET rDS(ON) for current sensing-eliminating external sense resistors.
For engineers reviewing the HIP6004DCR datasheet, HIP6004DCR pinout, HIP6004DCR application, or HIP6004DCR equivalent, key selection considerations include its QFN-20 package thermal performance (θJA = 33°C/W), 15 MHz error amplifier gain-bandwidth, 6 V/µs slew rate, ±10% PGOOD window, and overvoltage crowbar capability via OVP pin.
Technical Context
The HIP6004DCR implements voltage-mode PWM control with a single feedback loop, using an internal 15 MHz GBWP error amplifier and 200 kHz triangle-wave oscillator programmable via RT-to-GND or RT-to-VCC. Its DAC-based VID interface sets both output voltage and protection thresholds (PGOOD, OVP) simultaneously.
Over-current protection operates by comparing the voltage drop across the upper MOSFET's rDS(ON) against a reference set by OCSET current (200 µA typ.) and ROCSET resistor-enabling hiccup-mode fault recovery without current-sense resistors. The 0%–100% duty cycle range supports wide input-output differentials in +5 V or +12 V bias configurations.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL6522CRZ | Same manufacturer (Intersil), 20-lead QFN, but adds 3-state VID interface and enhanced OCP with dual-level fault reporting | Supports newer VRM versions requiring multi-level overcurrent flags and VID tri-state for multi-processor coordination | Select ISL6522CRZ if VRM 10.x compliance or dual-threshold OCP is required; HIP6004DCR remains optimal for VRM 8.5–9.x legacy designs |
| TPS51116PWR | Texas Instruments part; 24-pin TSSOP; integrates MOSFET drivers with 1.5 A sink/source, but lacks rDS(ON) sensing - requires external sense resistor | Targets DDR memory termination and low-noise analog rail applications where precision current limiting is critical | Choose TPS51116PWR only when external current-sense resistor is acceptable and TI ecosystem integration is prioritized over board-area savings |
Compared with ISL6522CRZ and TPS51116PWR, the HIP6004DCR offers the smallest BOM count for VRM-compliant microprocessor supplies due to rDS(ON) sensing and native VID decoding, while its 33°C/W QFN thermal resistance supports higher ambient operation than the TSSOP alternative.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the HIP6004DCR?
The HIP6004DCR is specified for an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. This rating applies to the QFN-20 package variant and is validated under recommended operating conditions with proper PCB thermal design-including use of the exposed thermal pad per JEDEC MO-220 guidelines. Junction temperature must not exceed 150°C under any condition.
Does the HIP6004DCR require an external current-sense resistor?
No, the HIP6004DCR does not require an external current-sense resistor. It implements over-current protection by monitoring the voltage drop across the upper MOSFET's rDS(ON) using the OCSET pin and an external ROCSET resistor. This architecture eliminates sense-resistor losses and layout complexity while maintaining accurate trip-point setting per the equation IPEAK = (IOCSET × ROCSET) / rDS(ON).
How is the output voltage programmed on the HIP6004DCR?
The output voltage of the HIP6004DCR is programmed via five TTL-compatible VID input pins (VID0–VID4). These pins configure a 5-bit DAC that sets DACOUT from 1.100 V to 1.850 V in 25 mV increments. DACOUT directly determines the regulated output voltage, PGOOD thresholds, and OVP trip point. The '11111' combination disables the controller and forces PGOOD high.
What is the purpose of the OVP pin on the HIP6004DCR?
On the HIP6004DCR, the OVP pin is an active-high, open-drain output used to trigger an external SCR crowbar circuit when the sensed output voltage exceeds 120% of DACOUT. This provides hardware-level overvoltage protection independent of the main PWM control loop, safeguarding downstream microprocessor loads from catastrophic overvoltage events.
Can the HIP6004DCR operate with a +5 V bias supply instead of +12 V?
Yes, the HIP6004DCR supports operation with either +5 V or +12 V bias on the VCC pin, as stated in the datasheet. However, the +12 V supply is required to fully drive the UGATE and LGATE outputs into saturation for low RDS(ON) MOSFETs. At +5 V, gate drive strength is reduced, limiting maximum achievable output current and efficiency-especially with high-threshold MOSFETs.
