Transient Voltage Regulator
DeCAPitator™
The Intersil DeCAPitator helps to stabilize a power system
voltage during severe transients. It accomplishes this by
supplying current when the voltage is more than 1% low or
sinking current when the voltage is higher than 1.5% from
the average load voltage. The fast transient response of the
DeCAPitator can make up for the slow response time of
many switching DC-DC converters.
Although the HIP6200 serves as a simple replacement for
large output capacitors for any dynamic load, it is especially
useful in stabilizing the CPU core voltage in portable
computer applications, where size and efficiency are major
concerns. The DeCAPitator enables power supply designs
for more powerful microprocessors without increasing
converter size or decreasing converter efficiency.
The DeCAPitator acts independently of the PWM control
circuitry. This simplifies converter layout because the
DeCAPitator and the load may be located separately from
the DC-DC converter. The DeCAPitator should be located
near the load for optimum performance.

Functional Pin Description
P
VCC
(Pin 1)
P
VCC
is the power source for the npn transistor output
device. P
VCC
is connected internally to V
CC
through a
resistor. Bulk capacitance should be placed between this pin
and PGND to minimize voltage deviations.
SNS (Pin 6)
SNS is the remote sense of the output voltage to be
regulated. If the output voltage increases rapidly by greater
than 1.5%, the lower amplifier responds by turning on the N-
Channel MOSFET to sink current through the OUT pin to
PGND. If the output voltage decreases rapidly by greater
than 1%, the upper amplifier responds by turning on the npn
transistor to source current from P
VCC
to OUT.
PGND (Pin 2)
PGND is power ground for the N-Channel MOSFET output
device. Tie this pin to the ground plane of the circuit board.
OUT (Pin 7)
This pin is the output pin of the IC. Tie this pin directly to the
voltage to be regulated.
GND (Pin 3)
GND is signal ground for the IC. Tie this pin to the ground
plane of the circuit board.
EN/OT or EN (Pin 8)
This pin is the only differentiation between the HIP6200 and
the HIP6201.
On the HIP6200, this pin is multiplexed. It is chip enable and
also an overtemperature indicator. When this pin is low, the
chip is disabled. If an overtemperature occurs, this pin will be
pulled low internally. Tie EN/OT to a pull-up resistor and
drive with an open collector signal.
On the HIP6201, this pin is chip enable only. Pulling it low
disables the IC. EN should be driven with a logic signal.
V
CC
(Pin 4)
V
CC
provides bias power to the chip. It should be tied to
system 5V. Provide local decoupling to this pin.
CAP (Pin 5)
Connect a capacitor to GND to set the internal amplifiers’
on-time response to a rapid voltage change at the SNS pin.

HIP6200, HIP6201
Application Information
Theory of Operation
The HIP6200 is used in conjunction with a switching DC-DC
converter to provide a regulated DC voltage. The output
voltage of a DC-DC converter changes instantly with sudden
load changes characteristic of today’s microprocessors. This
change occurs because the bulk capacitors are imperfect;
they have parasitic resistances (ESR) and inductances (ESL)
which translate into voltage drops as the load is initially
supplied by the bulk capacitance. Also, due to its output
inductor, the DC-DC converter takes about 10-20µs (typical)
before it provides the load current required by the CPU. The
HIP6200 contains two high-speed linear regulators which are
inactive except during the converter response time after high
di/dt load transients. When active, the linear regulators
maintain a small difference between the desired and actual
output voltage.
The Typical Application Diagrams below illustrate how the
DeCAPitator functions. The left side shows a common DC-
DC converter response to a fast ‘low-to-high’ load transient.
The right side shows a similar response with a HIP6200
circuit employed. The HIP6200 allows the use of fewer bulk
capacitors to handle the regulation requirements of the high
edge-rate load transients. The response time of the
HIP6200’s linear regulators (100ns typical) are fast enough
to help with the leading edge spike. Output voltage
deviations during the converter response time are reduced
with the HIP6200 since it helps supply the load while the
inductor current slews.
