Product details
Overview
HIP6503CBZ from Intersil is a multiple linear power controller IC designed for ACPI-compliant motherboard power management. It delivers five regulated voltages - 1.8VSB, 2.5/3.3VMEM, 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB, 2.5VCLK, and 5VDUAL - using internal regulators and external pass transistors. It operates across 0°C to 70°C, supports S0–S5 state transitions via S3/S5 control pins, and integrates undervoltage monitoring with centralized FAULT reporting for microprocessor systems.
For engineers reviewing the HIP6503CBZ datasheet, HIP6503CBZ pinout, HIP6503CBZ application, or HIP6503CBZ equivalent, this device serves as a dedicated ACPI voltage sequencer and linear controller for ATX-based PC motherboards requiring precise sleep-state power delivery, memory voltage selection (2.5V/3.3V), and fault-aware regulation of dual-mode 5VDUAL and clock-supply rails.
Technical Context
The HIP6503CBZ implements three independent linear regulator channels (1.8VSB, 2.5/3.3VMEM, 2.5VCLK) with internal pass elements, plus two switch-controlled outputs (3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB and 5VDUAL) managed by external MOSFETs/NPNs. Its control logic interprets S3/S5 digital inputs with 2μs deglitching and enforces legal state transitions only between active (S0/S1) and sleep (S3/S4/S5) modes.
It features integrated soft-start via an external capacitor on SS pin, POR-triggered initialization from 5VSB ≥4.5V, and hierarchical UV detection: all outputs monitored at ±2% regulation tolerance, with fault latching on 1.8VSB/3.3VDUAL during startup and automatic shutdown at 155°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temp Range | 0°C to 70°C ambient - validated for commercial motherboard environments without derating. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±2.0% over temperature - ensures stable memory, clock, and resume-rail operation across thermal cycling. |
| 1.8VSB Output Current | 250–300 mA - sufficient to power ICH2 resume well and low-power auxiliary circuits from 5VSB input. |
| 2.5/3.3VMEM Regulation | Selectable via RSEL resistor (1kΩ = 2.5V, 10kΩ = 3.3V) - enables single-IC support for RDRAM or SDRAM memory subsystems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multiple linear power controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HIP6502CBZ | Four-output variant (omits 2.5VCLK regulator); identical pinout and control logic for remaining rails. | Not suitable where dedicated low-noise 2.5V clock supply is required; lacks VCLK output and associated 3V3 input pin. | Select HIP6502CBZ only if clock rail is generated externally or not needed - reduces cost but removes integrated timing supply. |
| ISL6522CBZ | Successor device with enhanced thermal performance (θJA = 50°C/W), wider 5VSB operating range (4.0–5.5V), and improved UV hysteresis. | Supports newer ATX12V 2.x specifications and higher ambient temperatures; requires minor layout update due to different pin 12 function (no MSEL). | Choose ISL6522CBZ for new designs targeting extended life cycle, higher reliability, or compatibility with latest ATX revisions - not drop-in replaceable. |
Compared with HIP6502CBZ, HIP6503CBZ adds a dedicated 2.5VCLK regulator for processor timing integrity; compared with ISL6522CBZ, it lacks updated thermal specs and requires external RSEL configuration instead of digital MSEL, making it suitable for legacy ATX motherboard refreshes rather than new platforms.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the HIP6503CBZ in a motherboard design?
The HIP6503CBZ serves as a multiple linear power controller that manages five regulated voltage rails - 1.8VSB, 2.5/3.3VMEM, 3.3VDUAL/3.3VSB, 2.5VCLK, and 5VDUAL - across ACPI S0–S5 states. It uses internal regulators and external pass transistors to deliver precise, sequenced power while monitoring for undervoltage and overtemperature faults. The HIP6503CBZ replaces discrete solutions with a single 20-pin SOIC, reducing board space and complexity in ATX-compliant systems.
How does the HIP6503CBZ select between 2.5V and 3.3V memory output voltage?
The HIP6503CBZ selects 2.5V or 3.3V for the VMEM output using an external resistor (RSEL) connected between the FAULT/MSEL pin and ground. An internal 40μA current source develops a voltage across RSEL; if that voltage is below 200mV (RSEL = 1kΩ), the IC configures VSEN2 for 2.5V; if above (RSEL = 10kΩ), it configures for 3.3V. This setting is latched after each 3.3VDUAL ramp-up or chip reset, and no capacitor may be placed on FAULT/MSEL to avoid false selection.
Can the HIP6503CBZ operate without external pass transistors?
No - the HIP6503CBZ requires external pass transistors for most outputs. While it integrates internal pass elements for 1.8VSB, 2.5VCLK, and sleep-state VMEM/3.3VDUAL regulation, active-state VMEM uses an external NPN driven by DRV2, 3.3VDUAL uses an external NMOS driven by DLA, and 5VDUAL requires separate NMOS (active) and PMOS/PNP (sleep) transistors. These external devices handle high current and thermal dissipation beyond the IC's internal capability.
What happens when the FAULT pin goes high on the HIP6503CBZ?
When the FAULT pin goes high on the HIP6503CBZ, it indicates an undervoltage condition on any regulated output, loss of an ATX supply (3.3V/5V/12V/5VSB), or junction temperature exceeding 140°C. If the fault occurs on an internally regulated output (e.g., 1.8VSB) during startup, the entire IC latches off until 5VSB is cycled. For faults on externally regulated outputs, only the FAULT flag asserts - full shutdown requires pulling the SS pin low. The HIP6503CBZ continues normal operation unless thermal shutdown at 155°C occurs.
Is the HIP6503CBZ still recommended for new designs?
No - the official datasheet states "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS" and lists "NO RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT." While fully functional and supported for legacy motherboard repairs and continuity builds, Intersil discontinued active development and recommends evaluating successors like the ISL6522CBZ for new projects. Aetrix Electronics maintains inventory and supply chain support for HIP6503CBZ to serve existing production and maintenance requirements through end-of-life phases.
