HIP6015

Buck Pulse-Width Modulator (PWM)

Controller and Output Voltage Monitor

The HIP6015 provides complete control and protection for a

DC-DC converter optimized for high-performance

microprocessor applications. It is designed to drive an

N-Channel MOSFET in a standard buck topology. The

HIP6015 integrates all of the control, output adjustment,

monitoring and protection functions into a single package.

The output voltage of the converter is easily adjusted and

precisely regulated. The HIP6015 includes a fully

TTL-compatible 5-input digital-to-analog converter (DAC)

steps. The precision reference and voltage-mode regulator

hold the selected output voltage to within

±1% over

temperature and line voltage variations.

The HIP6015 provides simple, single feedback loop,

voltage-mode control with fast transient response. It

includes a 200kHz free-running triangle-wave oscillator that

is adjustable from below 50kHz to over 1MHz. The error

amplifier features a 15MHz gain-bandwidth product and

6V/

µs slew rate which enables high converter bandwidth for

fast transient performance. The resulting PWM duty ratio

ranges from 0% to 100%.

The HIP6015 monitors the output voltage with a window

comparator that tracks the DAC output and issues a Power

Good signal when the output is within

±10%. The HIP6015

protects against over-current and over-voltage conditions by

inhibiting PWM operation. Additional built-in over-voltage

protection triggers an external SCR to crowbar the input

supply. The HIP6015 monitors the current by using the

a current sensing resistor.
