Product details
Overview
HIP6006CV 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 1.27V reference-based output regulation (±1% over line/temperature), supports 50kHz–1MHz programmable switching frequency, and integrates voltage-mode control with 15MHz gain-bandwidth error amplifier and 0–100% duty cycle capability for fast transient response in Pentium® and PowerPC™ applications.
For engineers reviewing the HIP6006CV datasheet, HIP6006CV pinout, HIP6006CV application, or HIP6006CV equivalent, key selection considerations include its TSSOP-14 package, rDS(ON)-based over-current protection without external sense resistors, bootstrap gate drive architecture, soft-start timing via external capacitor, and compatibility with +5V/+12V bias inputs for DC-DC converter design.
Technical Context
The HIP6006CV implements voltage-mode PWM control using a 200kHz free-running oscillator adjustable from below 50kHz to over 1MHz via RT-to-GND or RT-to-VCC resistor networks. Its error amplifier provides 15MHz gain-bandwidth and 6V/μs slew rate to enable high-loop bandwidth for rapid load-step response.
Over-current protection operates by comparing the voltage drop across the upper MOSFET's rDS(ON) - referenced to VIN via an internal 200μA OCSET current source - against a user-programmed threshold set by ROCSET. A trip initiates hiccup-mode soft-start cycling without requiring additional sensing components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 1.27V ±1% over line and temperature - enables tight output regulation down to 1.27V for modern microprocessor core supplies. |
| Oscillator Frequency Range | 50kHz to >1MHz - programmable via RT resistor to optimize efficiency vs. size trade-offs in compact DC-DC designs. |
| Error Amplifier GBW | 15MHz - supports high-control-loop bandwidth for sub-microsecond transient recovery in high-slew-rate CPU loads. |
| Duty Cycle Range | 0% to 100% - allows full input-to-output voltage conversion flexibility, including low-VOUT operation with high VIN. |
| OCSET Current Source | 200μA typical - sets over-current trip point using only upper MOSFET rDS(ON), eliminating sense resistor losses and board space. |
| Supply Voltage Range | +12V ±10% - compatible with standard industrial and computing bias rails; supports +5V or +12V operation per datasheet. |
| Package | TSSOP-14 - surface-mount, RoHS-compliant package with 95°C/W θJA for thermally constrained embedded PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
HIP6006CV is housed in a 14-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), pin-compatible with the SOIC-14 variant but offering reduced footprint and improved thermal performance for dense power-converter layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OCSET (1) | Over-current threshold programming | Connects to upper MOSFET drain via ROCSET; internal 200μA current source sets IPEAK = IOCSET × ROCSET / rDS(ON). |
| SS (2) | Soft-start timing node | External capacitor charged by 10μA current source to 4V; controls ramp-up of COMP and reference during startup. |
| EN (3) | Enable/disable control | Open-collector input; pulled below 1V to inhibit PWM, discharge SS, and hold UGATE/LGATE low. |
| COMP (4) | Error amplifier output | Drives PWM comparator; clamped to SS voltage during soft-start; used for loop compensation network connection. |
| FB (5) | Error amplifier inverting input | Connects to resistor divider from VOUT; compares actual output to 1.27V reference for regulation. |
| RT (6) | Oscillator frequency setting | Resistor to GND (or VCC) programs switching frequency from 50kHz to >1MHz using documented equations. |
| VCC (7) | Bias supply input | +12V ±10% main IC supply; powers internal logic, gate drivers, and references. |
| LGATE (8) | Lower MOSFET gate driver output | Sources/sinks up to 450mA/0.3A; drives N-channel sync rectifier with 3.5–6.5Ω sink resistance. |
| PGND (9) | Power ground return | Low-impedance return path for lower MOSFET source and power-stage currents; separate from signal GND. |
| BOOT (10) | Bootstrap supply for upper gate driver | Provides floating bias for UGATE; requires external bootstrap diode and capacitor referenced to PHASE. |
| UGATE (11) | Upper MOSFET gate driver output | Sources/sinks up to 500mA/0.3A; drives high-side N-MOSFET with 5.5–10Ω sink resistance. |
| PHASE (12) | Switch-node sensing and return | Connected to upper MOSFET source; monitors rDS(ON) voltage for OC protection and serves as BOOT return. |
| GND (13) | Signal ground reference | Reference for FB, COMP, EN, OCSET, SS, RT; must be tied to PGND at single point for noise immunity. |
| PVCC (14) | Lower gate driver bias supply | Separate +5V or +12V supply for LGATE driver; isolates power-stage noise from VCC logic supply. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HIP6004CV | Lower gate-drive current (300mA vs. 450mA LGATE), no PVCC pin - uses shared VCC for both drivers. | Targeted at lower-current (<15A) applications; lacks independent lower-driver bias, limiting noise isolation in high-density designs. | Select HIP6004CV only when output current ≤12A and layout constraints preclude separate PVCC routing. |
| ISL6225CRZ | Integrated MOSFET drivers with higher peak current (1.2A UGATE/1.0A LGATE); supports 3-phase interleaving and digital VID interface. | Designed for mobile CPU VRMs with dynamic voltage identification; includes phase control not present in HIP6006CV. | Choose ISL6225CRZ for notebook or portable applications requiring VID-based voltage scaling and multi-phase operation. |
Compared with HIP6006CV, HIP6004CV offers reduced integration and drive strength for cost-sensitive, lower-power use cases, while ISL6225CRZ adds advanced features like VID support and multi-phase capability - making it suitable for mobile platforms but over-specified for fixed-voltage embedded PoL converters.

FAQ
What is the recommended operating supply voltage for the HIP6006CV?
The HIP6006CV is specified for +12V ±10% operation on the VCC pin, and supports either +5V or +12V bias on the PVCC pin for the lower gate driver. The datasheet confirms nominal VCC operation at 12V with absolute maximum rating of +15.0V. Operating outside this range risks damage or unstable regulation. The HIP6006CV does not support 3.3V-only biasing.
How does the HIP6006CV implement over-current protection without a sense resistor?
The HIP6006CV monitors the voltage drop across the upper MOSFET's rDS(ON) using the PHASE and OCSET pins. An internal 200μA current source develops a reference voltage across an external ROCSET resistor; when the rDS(ON) × ILOAD voltage exceeds this reference, the controller triggers hiccup-mode soft-start. This method is confirmed in the Functional Pin Description and Over-Current Protection sections of the FN4306 datasheet for HIP6006CV.
Can the HIP6006CV be used with a 5V input supply instead of 12V?
Yes - the HIP6006CV is explicitly rated for operation from either +5V or +12V input, as stated in the Features section and Recommended Operating Conditions table. When using +5V, ensure VCC and PVCC are both supplied at +5V, and verify that the upper gate drive (via BOOT) remains sufficient to fully enhance the selected high-side MOSFET given the reduced headroom.
What is the purpose of the separate PVCC pin on the HIP6006CV?
The PVCC pin supplies dedicated bias power to the lower gate driver (LGATE), electrically isolating it from the main VCC supply used for logic, references, and the upper gate driver. This separation reduces noise coupling into sensitive analog blocks and improves stability in high-dI/dt synchronous buck converters. The HIP6006CV datasheet specifies PVCC can be +5V or +12V, independent of VCC.
Does the HIP6006CV support adjustable output voltage below 1.27V?
No - the HIP6006CV features a fixed internal 1.27V reference (1.258V to 1.282V over conditions), and the feedback network (FB pin) regulates output voltage relative to this reference. Output voltages below 1.27V cannot be achieved without external circuitry; the datasheet states "output voltage … can be precisely regulated to as low as 1.27V", confirming 1.27V as the minimum supported value for HIP6006CV.
