HIP6015

HIP6015 Data Sheet March 2000 File Number 4421.2 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) 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 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-vol...
