Data Sheet

FN4417.2
Buck and Synchronous-Rectifier (PWM)
Controller and Output Voltage Monitor
The HIP6004A provides complete control and protection for
a DC-DC converter optimized for high-performance
microprocessor applications. It is designed to drive two
N-Channel MOSFETs in a synchronous-rectified buck
topology. The HIP6004A 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 HIP6004A includes a fully TTL-
compatible 5-input digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that
adjusts the output voltage from 2.1VDC to 3.5VDC in 0.1V
increments and from 1.8VDC to 2.05VDC in 0.05V steps.
The precision reference and voltage-mode regulator hold the
selected output voltage to within
±1%
over temperature and
line voltage variations.
The HIP6004A 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/ms slew rate which enables high converter bandwidth for
fast transient performance. The resulting PWM duty ratio
ranges from 0% to 100%.
The HIP6004A 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 HIP6004A
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 HIP6004A monitors the current by using the
r
DS(ON)
of the upper MOSFET which eliminates the need for
a current sensing resistor.

PGOOD (Pin 12)
PGOOD is an open collector output used to indicate the
status of the converter output voltage. This pin is pulled low
when the converter output is not within
±10%
of the
DACOUT reference voltage.
PHASE (Pin 13)
Connect the PHASE pin to the upper MOSFET source. This
pin is used to monitor the voltage drop across the MOSFET
for over-current protection. This pin also provides the return
path for the upper gate drive.
FB 10
UGATE (Pin 14)
Connect UGATE to the upper MOSFET gate. This pin
provides the gate drive for the upper MOSFET.
VSEN (Pin 1)
This pin is connected to the converters output voltage. The
PGOOD and OVP comparator circuits use this signal to
report output voltage status and for overvoltage protection.
BOOT (Pin 15)
This pin provides bias voltage to the upper MOSFET driver.
A bootstrap circuit may be used to create a BOOT voltage
suitable to drive a standard N-Channel MOSFET.
OCSET (Pin 2)
Connect a resistor (R
OCSET
) from this pin to the drain of the
upper MOSFET. R
OCSET
, an internal 200µA current source
(I
OCS
), and the upper MOSFET on-resistance (r
DS(ON)
) set
the converter over-current (OC) trip point according to the
following equation:

PGND (Pin 16)
This is the power ground connection. Tie the lower MOSFET
source to this pin.
LGATE (Pin 17)
Connect LGATE to the lower MOSFET gate. This pin
provides the gate drive for the lower MOSFET.
VCC (Pin 18)
Provide a 12V bias supply for the chip to this pin.
An over-current trip cycles the soft-start function.
OVP (Pin 19)
The OVP pin can be used to drive an external SCR in the
event of an overvoltage condition. Output rising 15% more
than the DAC-set voltage triggers a high output on this pin
and disables PWM gate drive circuitry.
SS (Pin 3)
Connect a capacitor from this pin to ground. This capacitor,
along with an internal 10µA current source, sets the soft-
start interval of the converter.
VID0-4 (Pins 4-8)
VID0-4 are the input pins to the 5-bit DAC. The states of
these five pins program the internal voltage reference
(DACOUT). The level of DACOUT sets the converter output
voltage. It also sets the PGOOD and OVP thresholds. Table
1 specifies DACOUT for the 32 combinations of DAC inputs.
RT (Pin 20)
This pin provides oscillator switching frequency adjustment.
By placing a resistor (R
T
) from this pin to GND, the nominal
200kHz switching frequency is increased according to the
following equation:

COMP (Pin 9) and FB (Pin 10)
COMP and FB are the available external pins of the error
amplifier. The FB pin is the inverting input of the error
amplifier and the COMP pin is the error amplifier output.
These pins are used to compensate the voltage-control
feedback loop of the converter.
(R

Conversely, connecting a pull-up resistor (R
