DATASHEET
HIP6007
Buck Pulse-Width Modulator (PWM) Controller
The HIP6007 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
HIP6007 integrates all of the control, output adjustment,
monitoring and protection functions into a single package.
The output voltage of the converter can be precisely
regulated to as low as 1.27V, with a maximum tolerance of
1%
over temperature and line voltage variations.
The HIP6007 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 HIP6007 protects against over-current conditions by
inhibiting PWM operation. The HIP6007 monitors the current
by using the r
DS(ON)
of the upper MOSFET which eliminates
the need for a current sensing resistor.

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.
COMP (Pin 4) and FB (Pin 5)
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.
RT (Pin 1)
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:

EN (Pin 6)
This pin is the open-collector enable pin. Pull this pin below 1V

(R

Signal ground for the IC. All voltage levels are measured with
respect to this pin.
Conversely, connecting a pull-up resistor (R

the gate drive for the upper MOSFET.
BOOT (Pin 10)
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.
VCC (Pin 14)
Provide a 12V bias supply for the chip to this pin.
An over-current trip cycles the soft-start function.

HIP6007
Functional Description
Initialization
The HIP6007 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 and the enable (EN) pin. 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). With the EN
pin held to VCC, 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.
The Power-On Reset (POR) function inhibits operation with the
chip disabled (EN pin low). With both input supplies above their
POR thresholds, transitioning the EN pin high initiates a soft
start interval.
Over-Current Protection
The over-current function protects the converter from a shorted
output by using the upper MOSFET’s 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.
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 (typical)
current sink develops a voltage across R
OCSET
that is
reference 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 initiates a soft-start sequence. The
soft-start function discharges C
SS
with a 10A current sink and
inhibits PWM operation. The soft-start function recharges C
SS
,
and PWM operation resumes with the error amplifier clamped
to the SS voltage. Should an overload occur while recharging
C
SS
, the soft start function inhibits PWM operation while fully
charging C
SS
to 4V to complete its cycle. Figure 4 shows this
operation with an overload condition. Note that the inductor
current increases to over 15A during the C
SS
charging interval
and causes an over-current trip. The converter dissipates very
little power with this method. The measured input power for the
conditions of Figure 4 is 2.5W.
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 t1 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 charge the output capacitor(s). This interval of
increasing pulse width continues to t2. With sufficient output
voltage, the clamp on the reference input controls the output
voltage. This is the interval between t2 and t3 in Figure 3. At t3
the SS voltage exceeds the reference voltage and the output
voltage is in regulation. This method provides a rapid and
controlled output voltage rise.
