DATASHEET
HIP6004
Buck and Synchronous-Rectifier (PWM) Controller and Output Voltage Monitor
The HIP6004 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 HIP6004 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 HIP6004 includes a 5-input
digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that adjusts the output
voltage from 2.1V
DC
to 3.5V
DC
in 0.1V increments and from
1.3V
DC
to 2.1V
DC
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 HIP6004 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/s slew rate which enables high converter bandwidth for
fast transient performance. The resulting PWM duty ratio
ranges from 0% to 100%.
The HIP6004 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 HIP6004
protects against over-current conditions by inhibiting PWM
operation. Built-in over-voltage protection triggers an
external SCR to crowbar the input supply. The HIP6004
monitors the current by using the r
DS(ON)
of the upper
MOSFET which eliminates the need for a current sensing
resistor.

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.
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.
FB 10
GND (Pin 11)
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.
Signal ground for the IC. All voltage levels are measured with
respect to this pin.
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.
OCSET (Pin 2)
Connect a resistor (R
OCSET
) from this pin to the drain of the
upper MOSFET. R
OCSET
, an internal 200A 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:

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.
UGATE (Pin 14)
Connect UGATE to the upper MOSFET gate. This pin provides
the gate drive for the upper MOSFET.
An over-current trip cycles the soft-start function.
SS (Pin 3)
Connect a capacitor from this pin to ground. This capacitor,
along with an internal 10A current source, sets the soft-start
interval of the converter.
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.

charge the output capacitor(s). This interval of increasing pulse
width continues to t
2
. With sufficient output voltage, the clamp on
the reference input controls the output voltage. This is the interval
between t
2
and t
3
in Figure 3. At t
3
the SS voltage exceeds the
DACOUT voltage and the output voltage is in regulation. This
method provides a rapid and controlled output voltage rise. The
PGOOD signal toggles ‘high’ when the output voltage (VSEN pin)
is within
5%
of DACOUT. The 2% hysteresis built into the power
good comparators prevents PGOOD oscillation due to nominal
output voltage ripple.
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.
OVP (Pin 19)
The OVP pin can be used to drive an external SCR in the
event of an overvoltage condition.

FIGURE 3. SOFT START INTERVAL
Functional Description
Initialization
The HIP6004 automatically initializes upon receipt of power.
Special sequencing of the input supplies is not necessary. The
Power-On Reset (POR) function continually monitors the input
supply voltages. The POR monitors the bias voltage at the
VCC pin and the input voltage (V
IN
) on the OCSET pin. The
level on OCSET is equal to V
IN
less a fixed voltage drop (see
over-current protection). The POR function initiates soft start
operation after both input supply voltages exceed their POR
thresholds. For operation with a single +12V power source, V
IN
and V
CC
are equivalent and the +12V power source must
exceed the rising V
CC
threshold before POR initiates
operation.
Over-Current Protection
The over-current function protects the converter from a shorted
output by using the upper MOSFETs on-resistance, r
DS(ON)
to
monitor the current. This method enhances the converter’s
efficiency and reduces cost by eliminating a current sensing
resistor.

Soft Start
The POR function initiates the soft start sequence. An internal
10A current source charges an external capacitor (C
SS
) on the
SS pin to 4V. Soft start clamps the error amplifier output (COMP
pin) and reference input (+ terminal of error amp) to the SS pin
voltage. Figure 3 shows the soft start interval with C
SS
= 0.1F.
Initially the clamp on the error amplifier (COMP pin) controls the
converter’s output voltage. At t
1
in Figure 3, the SS voltage
reaches the valley of the oscillator’s triangle wave. The oscillator’s
triangular waveform is compared to the ramping error amplifier
voltage. This generates PHASE pulses of increasing width that

FIGURE 4. OVER-CURRENT OPERATION
The over-current function cycles the soft-start function in a hiccup
mode to provide fault protection. A resistor (R
OCSET
) programs
the over-current trip level. An internal 200A current sink develops
a voltage across R
OCSET
that is referenced to V
IN
. When the
voltage across the upper MOSFET (also referenced to V
IN
)
exceeds the voltage across R
OCSET
, the over-current function
