PWM and Triple Linear Power Controller
The HIP6521 provides the power control and protection for
four output voltages in high-performance microprocessor and
computer applications. The IC integrates a voltage-mode
PWM controller and three linear controllers, as well as
monitoring and protection functions into a 16 Ld SOIC
package. The PWM controller is intended to regulate the
microprocessor memory core voltage with a
synchronous-rectified buck converter. The linear controllers
are intended to regulate the computer system’s AGP 1.5V bus
power, the 2.5V clock power, and the 1.8V power for the
North/South Bridge core voltage and/or cache memory
circuits. Both the switching regulator and linear voltage
references provide
±2%
of static regulation over line, load,
and temperature ranges. All outputs are user-adjustable by
means of an external resistor divider. All linear controllers
employ bipolar NPNs for the pass transistors.
The HIP6521 monitors all the output voltages. The PWM
controller’s adjustable overcurrent function monitors the
output current by using the voltage drop across the upper
MOSFET’s r
DS(ON)
. The linear regulator outputs are
monitored via the FB pins for undervoltage events.

HIP6521
Functional Pin Descriptions
VCC (Pin 11)
Provide a well decoupled 5V bias supply for the IC to this
pin. This pin also provides the gate bias charge for the lower
MOSFET controlled by the PWM section of the IC, as well as
the base current drive for the linear regulators’ external
bipolar transistors. The voltage at this pin is monitored for
Power-On Reset (POR) purposes.
FB2, 3, 4 (Pins 2, 16, 14)
Connect the output of the corresponding linear regulators to
these pins through properly sized resistor dividers. The
voltage at these pins is regulated to 0.8V. These pins are
also monitored for undervoltage events.
Quickly pulling and holding any of these pins above 1.25V
(using diode-coupled logic devices) shuts off the respective
regulators. Releasing these pins from the pull-up voltage
initiates a soft-start sequence on the respective regulator.
GND (Pin 5)
Signal ground for the IC. All voltage levels are measured
with respect to this pin.
Description
Operation
The HIP6521 monitors and precisely controls 4 output
voltage levels (Refer to Block and Simplified Power System
Diagrams, and Typical Application Schematic). It is
designed for microprocessor computer applications with
3.3V, and 5V (5V
DUAL
) bias input from an ATX power
supply. The IC has a synchronous PWM controller and
three linear controllers. The PWM controller (PWM) is
designed to regulate the 2.5V memory voltage (V
OUT1
).
The PWM controller drives 2 MOSFETs (Q1 and Q2) in a
synchronous-rectified buck converter configuration and
regulates the output voltage to a level programmed by a
resistor divider. The linear controllers are designed to
regulate three more of the computer system’s voltages,
typically the 1.5V AGP bus (V
OUT4
), the 2.5V clock voltage
(V
OUT2
), and the 1.8V ICH/MCH core voltage (V
OUT3
). All
linear controllers are designed to employ external NPN
bipolar pass transistors.
PGND (Pin 9)
This is the power ground connection. Tie the synchronous
PWM converter’s lower MOSFET source to this pin.
BOOT (Pin 7)
Connect a suitable capacitor (0.47µF recommended) from
this pin to PHASE. This bootstrap capacitor supplies UGATE
driver the energy necessary to turn and hold the upper
MOSFET on.
OCSET (Pin 12)
Connect a resistor from this pin to the drain of the upper
PWM MOSFET. This resistor, an internal 40µA current
source (typical), and the upper MOSFET’s on-resistance set
the converter overcurrent trip point. An overcurrent trip
cycles the soft-start function.
The voltage at this pin is monitored for power-on reset (POR)
purposes and pulling this pin below 1.25V with an open
drain/collector device will shutdown the switching controller.
Initialization
The HIP6521 automatically initializes upon receipt of input
power. Special sequencing of the input supplies is not
necessary. The Power-On Reset (POR) function continually
monitors the input bias supply voltage. The POR monitors
the bias voltage at the VCC pin. The POR function initiates
soft-start operation after the bias supply voltage exceeds its
POR threshold.
PHASE (Pin 6)
Connect the PHASE pin to the PWM converter’s upper
MOSFET source. This pin is used to monitor the voltage
drop across the upper MOSFET for overcurrent protection.
UGATE (Pin 8)
Connect UGATE pin to the PWM converter’s upper MOSFET
gate. This pin provides the gate drive for the upper MOSFET.
Soft-Start
The POR function initiates the soft-start sequence. The
PWM error amplifier reference input is clamped to a level
proportional to the soft-start voltage. As the soft-start voltage
slews up, the PWM comparator generates PHASE pulses of
increasing width that charge the output capacitor(s).
Similarly, all linear regulators’ reference inputs are clamped
to a voltage proportional to the soft-start voltage. The
ramp-up of the internal soft-start function provides a
controlled output voltage rise.
Figure 1 shows the soft-start sequence for the typical
application. At T0 the +5V
SB
bias voltage starts to ramp up
(closely followed by the +5V
DUAL
voltage) crossing the 4.5V
POR threshold at time T1. On the PWM section, the oscillator’s
triangular waveform is compared to the clamped error amplifier
LGATE (Pin 10)
Connect LGATE to the PWM converter’s lower MOSFET
gate. This pin provides the gate drive for the lower MOSFET.
COMP and FB (Pins 4, 3)
COMP and FB are the available external pins of the PWM
converter error amplifier. The FB pin is the inverting input of the
error amplifier. Similarly, the COMP pin is the error amplifier
output. These pins are used to compensate the voltage-mode
control feedback loop of the synchronous PWM converter.
DRIVE2, 3, 4 (Pins 1, 15, 13)
Connect these pins to the base terminals of external bipolar
NPN transistors. These pins provide the base current drive
for the regulator pass transistors.
