Product details
Overview
HIP6013CB from Intersil is a voltage-mode buck PWM controller IC designed to drive an N-channel MOSFET in high-performance microprocessor DC-DC converters. It delivers precise 1.27V internal reference, ±1.5% output voltage regulation over line and temperature, and supports 50kHz–1MHz programmable switching frequency with 0%–100% duty cycle control.
For engineers reviewing the HIP6013CB datasheet, HIP6013CB pinout, HIP6013CB application, or HIP6013CB equivalent, key selection considerations include its rDS(ON)-based over-current protection, 15MHz error amplifier gain-bandwidth, 6V/μs slew rate, SOIC-14 package compatibility, and suitability for Pentium®/PowerPC™ supply designs requiring fast transient response and no external current-sense resistor.
Technical Context
The HIP6013CB implements single-loop voltage-mode control using a 200kHz free-running oscillator adjustable via RT-to-GND or RT-to-VCC resistors. Its error amplifier features 88dB DC gain, 15MHz GBW, and 6V/μs slew rate-enabling high-loop bandwidth for rapid load-step response in low-voltage, high-current microprocessor supplies.
Over-current protection operates by comparing the upper MOSFET's rDS(ON) voltage drop (measured at PHASE) against a reference set by an internal 200μA OCSET current source and external ROCSET resistor-eliminating need for a sense resistor. Fault detection triggers hiccup-mode soft-start cycling.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HIP6007CB | Same SOIC-14 package; identical pinout; lower oscillator frequency range (100–600kHz); no EN pin | Lacks enable functionality and wider frequency tuning; less suitable for noise-sensitive or ultra-compact designs | Choose HIP6007CB only if fixed ~200kHz operation and no shutdown control are acceptable |
| ISL6522CBZ | Successor device with integrated MOSFET drivers, higher current capability (1.2A UGATE), and enhanced thermal performance | Requires different layout due to QFN-24 package and updated compensation network; supports higher output currents | Select ISL6522CBZ for new designs needing improved drive strength, smaller footprint, and extended lifecycle support |
Compared with HIP6007CB, HIP6013CB adds EN control and broader frequency tuning; compared with ISL6522CBZ, it offers legacy SOIC-14 compatibility but lacks integrated high-current drivers and advanced protection features-making HIP6013CB optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained upgrades of existing Pentium-era designs.

FAQ
What is the recommended operating supply voltage for the HIP6013CB?
The HIP6013CB is specified for +12V ±10% operation (10.8V to 13.2V), with absolute maximum VCC rating of +15.0V. It is not rated for direct +5V operation; however, the datasheet confirms compatibility with +5V or +12V input systems when used in buck topologies where VCC is derived separately. Always maintain VCC within 10.8–13.2V to ensure proper gate drive and internal biasing of the HIP6013CB.
How does the HIP6013CB implement over-current protection without a sense resistor?
The HIP6013CB monitors the voltage drop across the upper N-MOSFET's rDS(ON) by referencing the PHASE pin to the OCSET pin. An internal 200μA current source flows through an external ROCSET resistor to generate a threshold voltage; when the PHASE-to-OCSET differential exceeds this threshold, the HIP6013CB initiates hiccup-mode soft-start. This method eliminates the power loss and board area associated with discrete current-sense resistors in the HIP6013CB design.
Can the HIP6013CB be used with logic-level MOSFETs?
Yes-but only under specific conditions. The HIP6013CB's UGATE driver can support logic-level MOSFETs when VCC ≤ 5V (e.g., in +5V-input systems using direct VCC drive per Figure 10), ensuring gate-to-source voltage remains within the MOSFET's rating. With standard +12V VCC and bootstrap drive, gate voltage may exceed 12V, so standard-threshold MOSFETs are preferred unless the device's absolute VGS rating exceeds VCC − Vf(boot diode). Always verify VGS stress limits for each HIP6013CB implementation.
What is the function of the RT pin on the HIP6013CB, and how is frequency adjusted?
The RT pin on the HIP6013CB sets the oscillator frequency: connecting a resistor from RT to GND increases frequency above 200kHz, while connecting it to VCC decreases frequency. The nominal 200kHz free-running frequency scales according to Fs ≈ 200kHz × (5×10⁶/RT) for RT-to-GND, or Fs ≈ 200kHz × (4×10⁷/RT) for RT-to-VCC. This allows precise tuning from 50kHz to over 1MHz-critical for optimizing EMI, efficiency, and magnetics size in HIP6013CB-based converters.
Is the HIP6013CB still recommended for new designs?
No-the official Intersil documentation states "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS" and "NO RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT" for the HIP6013CB. While fully functional and supported for legacy repair and continuity, new designs should consider successors like ISL6522CBZ or ISL6523CBZ that offer enhanced drive strength, thermal performance, and extended manufacturer support. Aetrix Electronics maintains HIP6013CB inventory for ongoing production of qualified legacy systems.
