Product details
Overview
HIP6013CB-T from Intersil is a buck pulse-width modulator (PWM) controller designed to drive an N-channel MOSFET in high-performance microprocessor DC-DC converters. It delivers voltage-mode control with 1.27V internal reference, ±1.5% output regulation over line/temperature, and 200kHz free-running oscillator adjustable from 50kHz to >1MHz - enabling precise low-voltage regulation down to 1.27V for Pentium® and PowerPC™ applications.
For engineers reviewing the HIP6013CB-T datasheet, HIP6013CB-T pinout, HIP6013CB-T application, or HIP6013CB-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its rDS(ON)-based over-current protection, 0–100% duty cycle capability, 15MHz error amplifier gain-bandwidth, SOIC-14 package compatibility, and absence of external current-sense resistors.
Technical Context
The HIP6013CB-T implements voltage-mode PWM control using a single feedback loop with an internal 1.27V reference and a high-speed error amplifier (15MHz GBW, 6V/μs slew rate). Its oscillator supports programmable switching frequencies via RT-to-GND or RT-to-VCC resistor networks, enabling optimization across 50kHz–1MHz range.
Over-current protection operates by comparing the voltage drop across the upper MOSFET's rDS(ON) against a threshold set by an internal 200μA current source and external ROCSET resistor - eliminating sensing resistors and reducing BOM cost and board area. Soft-start is implemented via a 10μA internal current source charging an external capacitor on the SS pin.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HIP6007CBZ-T | Same SOIC-14 package; identical pinout; lower oscillator frequency range (100kHz–600kHz); no EN pin | Lacks enable functionality and wider frequency tuning - less flexible for EMI-sensitive designs | Choose when simpler frequency range and no enable control suffice; verify OCSET threshold compatibility |
| ISL6225CRZ-T | Also Intersil; 16-pin QFN; includes integrated MOSFET drivers and dual-phase support; higher integration level | Targets multi-phase CPU VRMs; not pin-compatible; requires different layout and compensation | Select for higher-current (>25A), multi-phase applications where footprint and thermal performance outweigh single-phase simplicity |
Compared with HIP6007CBZ-T, HIP6013CB-T adds EN control and extends frequency range to >1MHz for better EMI management; versus ISL6225CRZ-T, it offers lower-cost, single-phase implementation in SOIC-14 but lacks phase-interleaving and integrated high/low-side drivers.

FAQ
What is the recommended input voltage range for HIP6013CB-T operation?
HIP6013CB-T operates with a VCC supply of +5V or +12V ±10%, as specified in the absolute maximum ratings and recommended operating conditions. The controller supports both bias rails without modification, making it suitable for systems with either 5V or 12V auxiliary supplies. Input voltage must remain within these limits to ensure proper POR function, gate driver performance, and internal reference stability. Exceeding +15V on VCC risks permanent damage per the datasheet's absolute maximum rating.
How does HIP6013CB-T implement over-current protection without a sense resistor?
HIP6013CB-T uses the upper MOSFET's intrinsic rDS(ON) as a current-sensing element. An internal 200μA current source flows through an external ROCSET resistor tied to the OCSET pin, generating a reference voltage. When the voltage drop across the MOSFET's rDS(ON) (measured at PHASE relative to VIN) exceeds this reference, the controller triggers hiccup-mode soft-start restart. This method eliminates external sense resistors, reducing conduction loss and board area while maintaining accurate peak-current limiting calibrated to the MOSFET's on-resistance.
Can HIP6013CB-T drive logic-level MOSFETs, and what are the constraints?
HIP6013CB-T can drive logic-level MOSFETs only under specific conditions: when using the direct VCC drive option (not bootstrap) with ≤5V main input, resulting in ~7V gate-source voltage (e.g., +12V VCC − 5V input). With bootstrap operation, the gate-source voltage approaches VCC minus diode drop (~11.3V), exceeding typical logic-level MOSFET VGS(max) ratings. Therefore, standard-gate MOSFETs are recommended for bootstrap configurations, while logic-level devices require careful validation of absolute VGS rating and drive topology per Figure 10 in the datasheet.
What is the purpose of the RT pin, and how is switching frequency calculated?
The RT pin on HIP6013CB-T sets the oscillator frequency via an external resistor. With RT connected to GND, frequency increases per Fs ≈ (200kHz × 5 × 10⁶)/RT; with RT pulled to VCC, frequency decreases per Fs ≈ (200kHz × 4 × 10⁷)/RT. This allows precise tuning from 50kHz to >1MHz - critical for optimizing efficiency, EMI, and inductor size. The RT resistor value directly determines converter switching behavior and must be selected considering layout parasitics and desired ripple-current trade-offs.
Is HIP6013CB-T still recommended for new designs, and what is its lifecycle status?
No - the HIP6013CB-T is marked "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS" in the official Intersil datasheet (FN4325 Rev 1.00), with no recommended replacement provided. While fully functional and supported for existing production, Aetrix Electronics advises evaluating modern alternatives such as ISL6225CRZ-T or Renesas ISL95836 for new designs due to enhanced integration, efficiency, and thermal performance. Legacy supply chain support remains available for HIP6013CB-T through Aetrix's continuity program.
