Advanced PWM and Triple Linear Power
Controller
The HIP6021 provides the power control and protection for
four output voltages in high-performance, graphics intensive
microprocessor and computer applications. The IC integrates
a voltage-mode PWM controller and three linear controllers,
as well as the monitoring and protection functions into a 28pin SOIC package. The PWM controller regulates the
microprocessor core voltage with a synchronous-rectified
buck converter. The linear controllers regulate the computer
system’s AGP 1.5V or 3.3V bus power, the 1.5V GTL bus
power, and the 1.8V power for the North/South Bridge core
voltage and/or cache memory circuits. The HIP6021 includes
an Intel-compatible, TTL 5-input digital-to-analog converter
(DAC) that adjusts the core PWM output voltage from 1.3VDC
to 2.05VDC in 0.05V steps and from 2.1VDC to 3.5VDC in
0.1V increments. The precision reference and voltage-mode
control provide 1% static regulation. The AGP bus power
linear controller’s output (VOUT2) is user-selectable, through a
TTL-compatible signal applied at the SELECT pin, for levels of
1.5V or 3.3V with 3% accuracy. Based on the status of the
FIX pin, the other two linear regulators provide either fixed
output voltages of 1.5V3% (VOUT3) and 1.8V3% (VOUT4),
or user-adjustable by means of an external resistor divider. All
linear controllers can employ either N-channel MOSFETs or
bipolar NPNs for the pass transistor.
The HIP6021 monitors all the output voltages. A single Power
Good signal is issued when the core is within 10% of the
DAC setting and all other outputs are above their undervoltage levels. Additional built-in over-voltage protection for
the core output uses the lower MOSFET to prevent output
voltages above 115% of the DAC setting. The PWM
controller’s over-current function monitors the output current
by using the voltage drop across the upper MOSFET’s
rDS(ON).

Functional Pin Descriptions
VCC (Pin 28)
Provide a 12V bias supply for the IC to this pin. This pin also
provides the gate bias charge for all the MOSFETs
controlled by the IC. The voltage at this pin is monitored for
Power-On Reset (POR) purposes.
GND (Pin 17)
Signal ground for the IC. All voltage levels are measured
with respect to this pin.
PGND (Pin 24)
This is the power ground connection. Tie the synchronous
PWM converter’s lower MOSFET source to this pin.
VAUX (Pin 16)
This pin provides boost current for the linear regulators’
output drives in the event bipolar NPN transistors (instead
of N-channel MOSFETs) are employed as pass elements.
The voltage at this pin is monitored for power-on reset
(POR) purposes.
the soft-start capacitor, disabling all the outputs. Dedicated
internal circuitry insures the core output voltage does not go
negative during this process. When re-enabled, the IC
undergoes a new soft-start cycle. Left open, this pin is pulled
low by an internal pull-down resistor, enabling operation.
FIX (Pin 2)
Grounding this pin bypasses the internal resistor dividers
that set the output voltage of the 1.5V and 1.8V linear
regulators. This way, the output voltage of the two regulators
can be adjusted from 1.26V up to the input voltage (+3.3V or
+5V) by way of an external resistor divider connected at the
corresponding VSEN pin. The new output voltage set by the
external resistor divider can be determined using the
following formula:
R OUT 

V OUT = 1.265V   1 + -----------------
R

GND
where ROUT is the resistor connected from VSEN to the
output of the regulator, and RGND is the resistor connected
from VSEN to ground. Left open, the FIX pin is pulled high,
enabling fixed output voltage operation.
SS (Pin 12)
Connect a capacitor from this pin to ground. This capacitor,
along with an internal 28A current source, sets the soft-start
interval of the converter.
FAULT / RT (Pin 13)
This pin provides oscillator switching frequency adjustment.
By placing a resistor (RT) from this pin to GND, the nominal
200kHz switching frequency is increased according to the
following equation:
6
5  10
Fs  200KHz + --------------------R T  k 
(RT to GND)
Conversely, connecting a resistor from this pin to VCC
reduces the switching frequency according to the following
equation:
7
4  10
Fs  200KHz – --------------------R T  k 
(RT to 12V)
Nominally, the voltage at this pin is 1.26V. In the event of an
over-voltage or over-current condition, this pin is internally
pulled to VCC.
PGOOD (Pin 8)
VID0, VID1, VID2, VID3, VID4 (Pins 7, 6, 5, 4 and 3)
VID0-4 are the TTL-compatible input pins to the 5-bit DAC.
The logic states of these five pins program the internal
voltage reference (DACOUT). The level of DACOUT sets the
microprocessor core converter output voltage, as well as the
coresponding PGOOD and OVP thresholds.
OCSET (Pin 23)
Connect a resistor from this pin to the drain of the respective
upper MOSFET. This resistor, an internal 200A current
source, and the upper MOSFET’s on-resistance set the
converter over-current trip point. An over-current trip cycles
the soft-start function.
The voltage at this pin is monitored for power-on reset
(POR) purposes and pulling this pin low with an open drain
device will shutdown the IC.
PHASE (Pin 26)
Connect the PHASE pin to the PWM converter’s upper
MOSFET source. This pin represents the gate drive return
current path and is used to monitor the voltage drop across
the upper MOSFET for over-current protection.
PGOOD is an open collector output used to indicate the
status of the output voltages. This pin is pulled low when the
synchronous regulator output is not within 10%of the
DACOUT reference voltage or when any of the other outputs
are below their under-voltage thresholds.
UGATE (Pin 27)
The PGOOD output is open for ‘11111’ VID code.
Connect LGATE to the PWM converter’s lower MOSFET
gate. This pin provides the gate drive for the lower MOSFET.
SD (Pin 9)
This pin shuts down all the outputs. A TTL-compatible, logic
level high signal applied at this pin immediately discharges
6
Connect UGATE pin to the PWM converter’s upper
MOSFET gate. This pin provides the gate drive for the upper
MOSFET.
LGATE (Pin 25)
COMP and FB (Pin 20, and 21)
HIP6021
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.
VSEN1 (Pin 22)
This pin is connected to the PWM converter’s output voltage.
The PGOOD and OVP comparator circuits use this signal to
report output voltage status and for over- voltage protection.
DRIVE2 (Pin 1)
Connect this pin to the gate of an external MOSFET. This pin
provides the drive for the AGP regulator’s pass transistor.
VSEN2 (Pin 10)
Connect this pin to the output of the AGP linear regulator.
The voltage at this pin is regulated to the level
predetermined by the logic-level status of the SELECT pin.
This pin is also monitored for under-voltage events.
advanced graphics port (AGP) bus voltage (VOUT2) to a
digitally-programmable level of 1.5V or 3.3V. Selection of
either output voltage is achieved by applying the proper
logic level at the SELECT pin. The remaining two linear
controllers supply the 1.5V GTL bus power (VOUT3) and
the 1.8V memory power (VOUT4). All linear controllers are
designed to employ an external pass transistor.
Initialization
The HIP6021 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 supply voltages. The POR monitors the
bias voltage (+12VIN) at the VCC pin, the 5V input voltage
(+5VIN) on the OCSET pin, and the 3.3V input voltage
(+3.3VIN) at the VAUX pin. The normal level on OCSET is
equal to +5VIN less a fixed voltage drop (see over-current
protection). The POR function initiates soft-start operation
after all supply voltages exceed their POR thresholds.
Soft-Start
SELECT (Pin 11)
This pin determines the output voltage of the AGP bus linear
regulator. A low TTL input sets the output voltage to 1.5V,
while a high input sets the output voltage to 3.3V.
DRIVE3 (Pin 18)
Connect this pin to the gate of an external MOSFET. This pin
provides the drive for the 1.5V regulator’s pass transistor.
VSEN3 (Pin 19)
Connect this pin to the output of the 1.5V linear regulator.
This pin is monitored for under-voltage events.
DRIVE4 (Pin 15)
Connect this pin to the gate of an external MOSFET. This pin
provides the drive for the 1.8V regulator’s pass transistor.
VSEN4 (Pin 14)
Connect this pin to the output of the linear 1.8V regulator.
This pin is monitored for undervoltage events.
Description
Operation
The HIP6021 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, 5V, and 12V 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 microprocessor core voltage (VOUT1). PWM
controller drives 2 MOSFETs (Q1 and Q2) in a
synchronous-rectified buck converter configuration and
regulates the microprocessor core voltage to a level
programmed by the 5-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
One of the linear controllers is designed to regulate the
7
The POR function initiates the soft-start sequence. Initially,
the voltage on the SS pin rapidly increases to approximately
1V (this minimizes the soft-start interval). Then an internal
28A current source charges an external capacitor (CSS) on
the SS pin to 4.5V. The PWM error amplifier reference input
(+ terminal) and output (COMP pin) are clamped to a level
proportional to the SS pin voltage. As the SS pin voltage
slews from 1V to 4V, the output clamp allows generation of
PHASE pulses of increasing width that charge the output
capacitor(s). After the output voltage increases to
approximately 70% of the set value, the reference input
clamp slows the output voltage rate-of-rise and provides a
smooth transition to the final set voltage. Additionally, all
linear regulators’ reference inputs are clamped to a voltage
proportional to the SS pin voltage. This method provides a
rapid and controlled output voltage rise.
Figure 3 shows the soft-start sequence for the typical
application. At T0 the SS voltage rapidly increases to
approximately 1V. At T1, the SS pin and error amplifier
output voltage reach the valley of the oscillator’s triangle
wave. The oscillator’s triangular wave form is compared to
the clamped error amplifier output voltage. As the SS pin
voltage increases, the pulse-width on the PHASE pin
increases. The interval of increasing pulse-width continues
until each output reaches sufficient voltage to transfer
control to the input reference clamp. If we consider the
2.5V core output (VOUT1) in Figure 3, this time occurs at
T2. During the interval between T2 and T3, the error
amplifier reference ramps to the final value and the
converter regulates the output a voltage proportional to the
SS pin voltage. At T3 the input clamp voltage exceeds the
reference voltage and the output voltage is in regulation.
The remaining outputs are also programmed to follow the
SS pin voltage. The PGOOD signal toggles ‘high’ when all
HIP6021
voltage (LUV) and the soft-start signals. A window
comparator monitors the SS pin and indicates when CSS is
fully charged to 4V (UP signal). An under-voltage on either
linear output (VSEN2, VSEN3, or VSEN4) is ignored until
after the soft-start interval (T4 in Figure 3). This allows
VOUT2 , VOUT3 , and VOUT4 to increase without fault at startup. Cycling the bias input voltage (+12VIN on the VCC pin off
then on) resets the counter and the fault latch.

Fault Protection
All four outputs are monitored and protected against extreme
overload. A sustained overload on any output or an overvoltage on VOUT1 output (VSEN1) disables all outputs and
drives the FAULT/RT pin to VCC.

FIGURE 4. FAULT LOGIC - SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC
Figure 4 shows a simplified schematic of the fault logic. An
over-voltage detected on VSEN1 immediately sets the fault
latch. A sequence of three over-current fault signals also
sets the fault latch. The over-current latch is set dependent
upon the states of the over-current (OC), linear under8
A separate over-voltage circuit provides protection during
the initial application of power. For voltages on the VCC pin
below the power-on reset (and above ~4V), the output level
is monitored for voltages above 1.3V. Should VSEN1 exceed
this level, the lower MOSFET, Q2 is driven on.
Over-Current Protection
FIGURE 3. SOFT-START INTERVAL
OVERCURRENT
LATCH
During operation, a short on the upper MOSFET of the PWM
regulator (Q1) causes VOUT1 to increase. When the output
exceeds the over-voltage threshold of 115% of DACOUT, the
over-voltage comparator trips to set the fault latch and turns
Q2 on. This blows the input fuse and reduces VOUT1. The
fault latch raises the FAULT/RT pin to VCC.
All outputs are protected against excessive over-currents.
The PWM controller uses the upper MOSFET’s
on-resistance, rDS(ON) to monitor the current for protection
against shorted output. All linear controllers monitor their
respective VSEN pins for under-voltage events to protect
against excessive currents.
Figure 5 illustrates the over-current protection with an
overload on OUT1. The overload is applied at T0 and the
current increases through the inductor (LOUT1). At time T1,
the OVER-CURRENT comparator trips when the voltage
across Q1 (iD • rDS(ON)) exceeds the level programmed by
ROCSET. This inhibits all outputs, discharges the soft-start
capacitor (CSS) with a 10mA current sink, and increments
the counter. CSS recharges at T2 and initiates a soft-start
cycle with the error amplifiers clamped by soft-start. With
OUT1 still overloaded, the inductor current increases to trip
the over-current comparator. Again, this inhibits all outputs,
but the soft-start voltage continues increasing to 4V before
discharging. The counter increments to 2. The soft-start
cycle repeats at T3 and trips the over-current comparator.
The SS pin voltage increases to 4V at T4 and the counter
increments to 3. This sets the fault latch to disable the
converter. The fault is reported on the FAULT/RT pin.
The linear controllers operate in the same way as the PWM
in response to over-current faults. The differentiating factor
for the linear controllers is that they monitor the VSEN pins
for under-voltage events. Should excessive currents cause
the voltage at the VSEN pins to fall below the linear undervoltage threshold, the LUV signal sets the over-current
latch if CSS is fully charged. Blanking the LUV signal during
the CSS charge interval allows the linear outputs to build
above the under-voltage threshold during normal operation.

A resistor (ROCSET) programs the over-current trip level for
the PWM converter. As shown in Figure 6, the internal
200A current sink, IOCSET develops a voltage across
ROCSET (VSET) that is referenced to VIN . The DRIVE
signal enables the over-current comparator (OVERCURRENT). When the voltage across the upper MOSFET
(VDS) exceeds VSET, the over-current comparator trips to
set the over-current latch. Both VSET and VDS are
referenced to VIN and a small capacitor across ROCSET
helps VOCSET track the variations of VIN due to MOSFET
switching. The over-current function will trip at a peak

The output voltage of the PWM converter is programmed to
discrete levels between 1.3VDC and 3.5VDC . This output
(OUT1) is designed to supply the core voltage of Intel’s
advanced microprocessors. The voltage identification (VID)
pins program an internal voltage reference (DACOUT) with a
TTL-compatible 5-bit digital-to-analog converter. The level of
DACOUT also sets the PGOOD and OVP thresholds. Table
1 specifies the DACOUT voltage for the different
combinations of connections on the VID pins. The VID pins
can be left open for a logic 1 input, because they are
internally pulled up to an internal voltage of about 5V by a
10A current source. Changing the VID inputs during
operation is not recommended and could toggle the PGOOD
signal and exercise the over-voltage protection. ‘11111’ VID
pin combination disables the IC and opens the PGOOD pin.

OUT2 Voltage Selection
The AGP regulator output voltage is internally set to one of
two discrete levels, based on the status of the SELECT pin.
SELECT pin is internally pulled ‘high’, such that left open,
the AGP output voltage is by default set to 3.3V. The other
discrete setting available is 1.5V, which can be obtained by
grounding the SELECT pin using a jumper or another
suitable method capable of sinking a few tens of
microamperes. The status of the SELECT pin cannot be
changed during operation of the IC without immediately
causing a fault condition.
OUT3 and OUT4 Voltage Adjustability
The GTL bus voltage (1.5V, OUT3) and the chip set and/or
cache memory voltage (1.8V, OUT4) are internally set for
simple, low-cost implementation in typical Intel motherboard
architectures. However, if different voltage settings are
desired for these two outputs, the FIX pin provides the
necessary adaptability. Left open (NC), this pin sets the fixed
output voltages described above. Grounding this pin allows
both output voltages to be set by means of external resistor
dividers as shown in Figure 7.

OUTPUTS 3 AND 4
Application Guidelines
Soft-Start Interval
Initially, the soft-start function clamps the error amplifier’s
output of the PWM converter. This generates PHASE pulses
of increasing width that charge the output capacitor(s). After
the output voltage increases to approximately 70% of the set
value, the reference input of the error amplifier is clamped to
a voltage proportional to the SS pin voltage. The resulting
output voltages start-up as shown in Figure 3.
The soft-start function controls the output voltage rate of rise
to limit the current surge at start-up. The soft-start interval and
the surge current are programmed by the soft-start capacitor,
CSS. Programming a faster soft-start interval increases the
peak surge current. The peak surge current occurs during the
initial output voltage rise to 70% of the set value.
Shutdown
The HIP6021 features a dedicated shutdown pin (SD). A
TTL-compatible, logic high signal applied to this pin shuts
down (disables) all four outputs and discharges the soft-start
capacitor. Following a shutdown, a logic low signal
re-enables the outputs through initiation of a new soft-start
cycle. Left open this pin will asses a logic low state, due to its
internal pull-down resistor, thus enabling normal operation of
all outputs.
The PWM output does not switch until the soft-start voltage
(VSS) exceeds the oscillator’s valley voltage. The references
on each linear’s error amplifier are clamped to the soft-start
voltage. Holding the SS pin low (with an open drain or
collector signal) turns off all four regulators.
The ‘11111’ VID code also shuts down the IC.

HIP6021
Layout Considerations
MOSFETs switch very fast and efficiently. The speed with
which the current transitions from one device to another
causes voltage spikes across the interconnecting
impedances and parasitic circuit elements. The voltage
spikes can degrade efficiency, radiate noise into the circuit,
and lead to device over-voltage stress. Careful component
layout and printed circuit design minimizes the voltage
spikes in the converter. Consider, as an example, the turnoff transition of the upper PWM MOSFET. Prior to turn-off,
the upper MOSFET was carrying the full load current.
During the turn-off, current stops flowing in the upper
MOSFET and is picked up by the lower MOSFET or
Schottky diode. Any inductance in the switched current
path generates a large voltage spike during the switching
interval. Careful component selection, tight layout of the
critical components, and short, wide circuit traces minimize
the magnitude of voltage spikes. See the Application Note
ANTBD for evaluation board drawings of the component
placement and printed circuit board.
There are two sets of critical components in a DC-DC
converter using a HIP6020 controller. The switching power
components are the most critical because they switch large
amounts of energy, and as such, they tend to generate
equally large amounts of noise. The critical small signal
components are those connected to sensitive nodes or
those supplying critical bypass current.
The power components and the controller IC should be
placed first. Locate the input capacitors, especially the highfrequency ceramic decoupling capacitors, close to the power
switches. Locate the output inductor and output capacitors
between the MOSFETs and the load. Locate the PWM
controller close to the MOSFETs.
The critical small signal components include the bypass
capacitor for VCC and the soft-start capacitor, CSS . Locate
these components close to their connecting pins on the
control IC. Minimize any leakage current paths from SS
node, since the internal current source is only 28A.
A multi-layer printed circuit board is recommended. Figure
8shows the connections of the critical components in the
converter. Note that the capacitors CIN and COUT each
represent numerous physical capacitors. Dedicate one
solid layer for a ground plane and make all critical
component ground connections with vias to this layer.
Dedicate another solid layer as a power plane and break
this plane into smaller islands of common voltage levels.
The power plane should support the input power and
output power nodes. Use copper filled polygons on the top
and bottom circuit layers for the PHASE nodes, but do not
unnecessarily oversize these particular islands. Since the
PHASE nodes are subjected to very high dV/dt voltages,
the stray capacitor formed between these islands and the
surrounding circuitry will tend to couple switching noise.
Use the remaining printed circuit layers for small signal
11
wiring. The wiring traces from the control IC to the
MOSFET gate and source should be sized to carry 2A peak
currents.
PWM Controller Feedback Compensation
The PWM controller uses voltage-mode control for output
regulation. This section highlights the design consideration
for a PWM voltage-mode controller. Apply the methods and
considerations only to the PWM controller.
Figure 9 highlights the voltage-mode control loop for a
synchronous-rectified buck converter. The output voltage
(VOUT) is regulated to the Reference voltage level. The
reference voltage level is the DAC output voltage
(DACOUT). The error amplifier (Error Amp) output (VE/A) is
compared with the oscillator (OSC) triangular wave to
provide a pulse-width modulated (PWM) wave with an
amplitude of VIN at the PHASE node. The PWM wave is
smoothed by the output filter (LO and CO).
The modulator transfer function is the small-signal transfer
function of VOUT/VE/A . This function is dominated by a DC
Gain, given by VIN/VOSC , and shaped by the output filter,
with a double pole break frequency at FLC and a zero at
FESR .

The compensation network consists of the error amplifier
(internal to the HIP6021) and the impedance networks ZIN
and ZFB . The goal of the compensation network is to provide
a closed loop transfer function with high 0dB crossing
frequency (f0dB) and adequate phase margin. Phase margin
is the difference between the closed loop phase at f0dB and
180 degrees. The equations below relate the compensation
network’s poles, zeros and gain to the components (R1, R2,
R3, C1, C2, and C3) in Figure 8. Use these guidelines for
locating the poles and zeros of the compensation network:
1. Pick Gain (R2/R1) for desired converter bandwidth
2. Place 1ST Zero Below Filter’s Double Pole (~75% FLC)
3. Place 2ND Zero at Filter’s Double Pole
4. Place 1ST Pole at the ESR Zero
5. Place 2ND Pole at Half the Switching Frequency
6. Check Gain against Error Amplifier’s Open-Loop Gain
7. Estimate Phase Margin - Repeat if Necessary

Figure 10 shows an asymptotic plot of the DC-DC
converter’s gain vs. frequency. The actual Modulator Gain
has a high gain peak dependent on the quality factor (Q) of
the output filter, which is not shown in Figure 9. Using the
above guidelines should yield a Compensation Gain similar
to the curve plotted. The open loop error amplifier gain
bounds the compensation gain. Check the compensation
gain at FP2 with the capabilities of the error amplifier. The
Closed Loop Gain is constructed on the log-log graph of
Figure 10 by adding the Modulator Gain (in dB) to the
Compensation Gain (in dB). This is equivalent to multiplying
the modulator transfer function to the compensation transfer
function and plotting the gain.
The compensation gain uses external impedance networks
ZFB and ZIN to provide a stable, high bandwidth (BW) overall
loop. A stable control loop has a gain crossing with
-20dB/decade slope and a phase margin greater than 45
degrees. Include worst case component variations when
determining phase margin.

The output capacitors for each output have unique
requirements. In general, the output capacitors should be
selected to meet the dynamic regulation requirements.
Additionally, the PWM converters require an output capacitor
to filter the current ripple. The load transient for the
microprocessor core requires high quality capacitors to
supply the high slew rate (di/dt) current demands.
HIP6021
PWM Output Capacitors
Modern microprocessors produce transient load rates above
1A/ns. High frequency capacitors initially supply the transient
current and slow the load rate-of-change seen by the bulk
capacitors. The bulk filter capacitor values are generally
determined by the ESR (effective series resistance) and
voltage rating requirements rather than actual capacitance
requirements.
High frequency decoupling capacitors should be placed as
close to the power pins of the load as physically possible. Be
careful not to add inductance in the circuit board wiring that
could cancel the usefulness of these low inductance
components. Consult with the manufacturer of the load on
specific decoupling requirements.
Use only specialized low-ESR capacitors intended for
switching-regulator applications for the bulk capacitors. The
bulk capacitor’s ESR determines the output ripple voltage
and the initial voltage drop following a high slew-rate
transient’s edge. An aluminum electrolytic capacitor’s ESR
value is related to the case size with lower ESR available in
larger case sizes. However, the equivalent series inductance
(ESL) of these capacitors increases with case size and can
reduce the usefulness of the capacitor to high slew-rate
transient loading. Unfortunately, ESL is not a specified
parameter. Work with your capacitor supplier and measure
the capacitor’s impedance with frequency to select a suitable
component. In most cases, multiple electrolytic capacitors of
small case size perform better than a single large case
capacitor.
Linear Output Capacitors
The output capacitors for the linear regulators provide
dynamic load current. The linear controllers use dominant
pole compensation integrated into the error amplifier and are
insensitive to output capacitor selection. Output capacitors
should be selected for transient load regulation.
PWM Output Inductor Selection
The PWM converter requires an output inductor. The output
inductor is selected to meet the output voltage ripple
requirements and sets the converter’s response time to a
load transient. The inductor value determines the converter’s
ripple current and the ripple voltage is a function of the ripple
current. The ripple voltage and current are approximated by
the following equations:
V IN – V OUT V OUT
I = --------------------------------  ---------------FS  L
V IN
V OUT = I  ESR
Increasing the value of inductance reduces the ripple current
and voltage. However, the large inductance values increase
the converter’s response time to a load transient.
One of the parameters limiting the converter’s response to a
load transient is the time required to change the inductor
current. Given a sufficiently fast control loop design, the
13
HIP6021 will provide either 0% or 100% duty cycle in
response to a load transient. The response time is the time
interval required to slew the inductor current from an initial
current value to the post-transient current level. During this
interval the difference between the inductor current and the
transient current level must be supplied by the output
capacitor(s). Minimizing the response time can minimize the
output capacitance required.
The response time to a transient is different for the
application of load and the removal of load. The following
equations give the approximate response time interval for
application and removal of a transient load:
L O  I TRAN
t RISE = -------------------------------V IN – V OUT
L O  I TRAN
t FALL = ------------------------------V OUT
where: ITRAN is the transient load current step, tRISE is the
response time to the application of load, and tFALL is the
response time to the removal of load. Be sure to check both
of these equations at the minimum and maximum output
levels for the worst case response time.
Input Capacitor Selection
The important parameters for the bulk input capacitors are
the voltage rating and the RMS current rating. For reliable
operation, select bulk input capacitors with voltage and
current ratings above the maximum input voltage and largest
RMS current required by the circuit. The capacitor voltage
rating should be at least 1.25 times greater than the
maximum input voltage and a voltage rating of 1.5 times is a
conservative guideline. The RMS current rating requirement
for the input capacitor of a buck regulator is approximately
1/2 of the summation of the DC load current.
Use a mix of input bypass capacitors to control the voltage
overshoot across the MOSFETs. Use ceramic capacitance
for the high frequency decoupling and bulk capacitors to
supply the RMS current. Small ceramic capacitors can be
placed very close to the upper MOSFET to suppress the
voltage induced in the parasitic circuit impedances.
For a through-hole design, several electrolytic capacitors
(Panasonic HFQ series or Nichicon PL series or Sanyo
MV-GX or equivalent) may be needed. For surface mount
designs, solid tantalum capacitors can be used, but caution
must be exercised with regard to the capacitor surge current
rating. These capacitors must be capable of handling the
surge-current at power-up. The TPS series available from
AVX, and the 593D series from Sprague are both surge
current tested.
MOSFET Selection/Considerations
The HIP6021 requires 5 external transistors. Two N-channel
MOSFETs are used in the synchronous-rectified buck
topology of PWM1 converter. It is recommended that the
AGP linear regulator pass element be a N-channel MOSFET
as well. The GTL and memory linear controllers can also
HIP6021
each drive a MOSFET or a NPN bipolar as a pass transistor.
All these transistors should be selected based upon
rDS(ON) , current gain, saturation voltages, gate supply
requirements, and thermal management considerations.
PWM MOSFET Selection and Considerations
In high-current PWM applications, the MOSFET power
dissipation, package selection and heatsink are the
dominant design factors. The power dissipation includes two
loss components; conduction loss and switching loss. These
losses are distributed between the upper and lower
MOSFETs according to duty factor (see the equations
below). The conduction losses are the main component of
power dissipation for the lower MOSFETs. Only the upper
MOSFET has significant switching losses, since the lower
device turns on and off into near zero voltage.
The equations below assume linear voltage-current
transitions and do not model power loss due to the reverserecovery of the lower MOSFET’s body diode. The gatecharge losses are dissipated by the HIP6021 and don't heat
the MOSFETs. However, large gate-charge increases the
switching time, tSW which increases the upper MOSFET
switching losses. Ensure that both MOSFETs are within their
maximum junction temperature at high ambient temperature
by calculating the temperature rise according to package
thermal-resistance specifications. A separate heatsink may
be necessary depending upon MOSFET power, package
type, ambient temperature and air flow.

P LOWER = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------V IN
The rDS(ON) is different for the two equations above even if
the same device is used for both. This is because the gate
drive applied to the upper MOSFET is different than the
lower MOSFET. Figure 11 shows the gate drive where the
upper MOSFET’s gate-to-source voltage is approximately
VCC less the input supply. For +5V main power and
+12VDC for the bias, the gate-to-source voltage of Q1 is 7V.
The lower gate drive voltage is +12VDC. A logic-level
MOSFET is a good choice for Q1 and a logic-level MOSFET
can be used for Q2 if its absolute gate-to-source voltage
rating exceeds the maximum voltage applied to VCC.
Rectifier CR1 is a clamp that catches the negative inductor
swing during the dead time between the turn off of the lower
MOSFET and the turn on of the upper MOSFET. The diode

MOSFET body diode from conducting. It is acceptable to
omit the diode and let the body diode of the lower MOSFET
clamp the negative inductor swing, but efficiency could drop
one or two percent as a result. The diode's rated reverse
breakdown voltage must be greater than the maximum input
voltage.
Linear Controller Transistor Selection
The main criteria for selection of transistors for the linear
regulators is package selection for efficient removal of heat.
The power dissipated in a linear regulator is:
P LINEAR = I O   V IN – V OUT 
Select a package and heatsink that maintains the junction
temperature below the rating with a the maximum expected
ambient temperature.
When selecting bipolar NPN transistors for use with the
linear controllers, insure the current gain at the given
operating VCE is sufficiently large to provide the desired
output load current when the base is fed with the minimum
driver output current.
