Triple Linear Power Controller with ACPI
Control Interface
The HIP6501A, paired with either the HIP6020 or HIP6021,
simplifies the implementation of ACPI-compliant designs in
microprocessor and computer applications. The IC
integrates two linear controllers and a low-current pass
transistor, as well as the monitoring and control functions
into a 16-pin SOIC package. One linear controller generates
the 3.3VDUAL voltage plane from an ATX power supply’s
5VSB output during sleep states (S3, S4/S5), powering the
PCI slots through an external pass transistor, as instructed
by the status of the 3.3VDUAL enable pin. An additional pass
transistor is used to switch in the ATX 3.3V output for PCI
operation during S0 and S1 (active) operatingstates. The
second linear controller supplies the computer system’s
2.5V/3.3V memory power through an external pass
transistor in active states. During S3 state, an integrated
pass transistor supplies the 2.5V/3.3V sleep-state power. A
third controller powers up a 5VDUAL plane by switching in
the ATX 5V output in active states, or the ATX 5VSB in sleep
states.
The HIP6501A’s operating mode (active-state outputs or
sleep-state outputs) is selectable through two control pins:
S3 and S5. Further control of the logic governing activation
of different power modes is offered through two enabling
pins: EN3VDL and EN5VDL. In active states, the 3.3VDUAL
linear regulator uses an external N-Channel pass MOSFET
to connect the output (VOUT1) directly to the 3.3V input
supplied by an ATX (or equivalent) power supply, while
incurring minimal losses. In sleep state, the 3.3VDUAL output
is supplied from the ATX 5VSB through an NPN transistor,
also external to the controller. Active state power delivery for
the 2.5/3.3VMEM output is done through an external NPN
transistor, or an NMOS switch for the 3.3V setting. In sleep
states, conduction on this output is transferred to an internal
pass transistor. The 5VDUAL output is powered through two
external MOS transistors. In sleep states, a PMOS (or PNP)
transistor conducts the current from the ATX 5VSB output,
while in active states, current flow is transferred to an NMOS
transistor connected to the ATX 5V output. Similar to the
3.3VDUAL output, the operation of the 5VDUAL output is
dictated not only by the status of the S3 and S5 pins, but that
of the EN5VDL pin as well.

Functional Pin Description
EN3VDL and EN5VDL (Pins 2 and 5)
Provide a 5V bias supply for the IC to this pin by connecting
it to the ATX 5VSB output. This pin also provides the base
bias current for all the external NPN transistors controlled by
the IC. The voltage at this pin is monitored for power-on
reset (POR) purposes.
These pins control the logic governing the output behavior in
response to S3 and S4/S5 requests. These are digital inputs
whose status can only be changed during active states
operation or during chip shutdown (SS pin grounded by
external open-drain device). The input information is latchedin when entering a sleep state, as well as following 5VSB
POR release or exit from shutdown.
GND (Pin 8)
FAULT/MSEL (Pin 9)
Signal ground for the IC. All voltage levels are measured with
respect to this pin.
This is a multiplexed function pin allowing the setting of the
memory output voltage to either 2.5V or 3.3V (for RDRAM or
SDRAM memory systems). The memory voltage setting is
latched-in 3ms (typically) after 5VSB POR release. In case
of an under-voltage on any of the outputs or an overtemperature event, this pin is used to report the fault
condition by being pulled to 5VSB.
5VSB (Pin 1)
S3 and S5 (Pins 6 and 7)
These pins switch the IC’s operating state from active (S0,
S1) to S3 and S4/S5 sleep states. Connect S3 to SLP_S3
and S5 to SLP_S5. These are digital inputs featuring internal
70kΩ (typical) resistor pull-ups to 5VSB. Internal circuitry deglitches the S3 pin for disturbances. Additional circuitry
blocks any illegal state transitions (such as S3 to S4/S5 or
vice versa). When entering an S4/S5 sleep state, the S3
signal is allowed to go low as far as 200µs (typically) ahead
of the S5 signal.
5
SS (Pin 13)
Connect a small ceramic capacitor (allowable range: 5nF0.22µF; 0.1µF recommended) from this pin to GND. The
internal Soft-Start (SS) current source along with the
external capacitor creates a voltage ramp used to control the
ramp-up of the output voltages. Pulling this pin low with an
open-drain device shuts down all the outputs as well as
HIP6501A
forces the FAULT pin low. The CSS capacitor is also used to
provide a controlled voltage slew rate during active-to-sleep
transitions on the 3.3VDUAL and 2.5/3.3VMEM outputs.
12V (Pin 14)
Connect this pin to the ATX (or equivalent) 12V output. This
pin is used to monitor the status of the power supply as well
as provide bias for the NMOS-compatible output drivers. 12V
presence at the chip in the absence of bias voltage, or
severe 12V brownout during active states (S0, S1) operation
can lead to chip misbehavior.
VSEN2 (Pin 16)
Connect this pin to the memory output (VOUT2). In sleep
states, this pin is regulated to 2.5V or 3.3V (based on RSEL)
through an internal pass transistor capable of delivering
300mA (typically). When VOUT2 is programmed to 2.5V, the
active-state voltage at this pin is regulated through an
external NPN transistor connected at the DRV2 pin. For the
3.3V setting, the ATX 3.3V is passed to this pin through a
fully on N-MOS transistor. During all operating states, the
voltage at this pin is monitored for under-voltage events.
DRV2 (Pin 15)
For the 2.5V RDRAM systems, connect this pin to the base
of a suitable NPN transistor. This pass transistor regulates
the 2.5V output from the ATX 3.3V during active states
operation. For 3.3V SDRAM systems connect this pin to the
gate of a suitable N-MOS transistor; this transistor is used to
switch in the ATX 3.3V output.
3V3DL (Pin 4)
Connect this pin to the 3.3V dual output (VOUT1). In sleep
states, the voltage at this pin is regulated to 3.3V; in active
states, ATX 3.3V output is delivered to this node through a
fully on N-MOS transistor. During all operating states, this
pin is monitored for under-voltage events.
5VDLSB (Pin 11)
Connect this pin to the gate of a suitable P-MOSFET or
bipolar PNP. In sleep states, this transistor is switched on,
connecting the ATX 5VSB output to the 5VDUAL regulator
output.
Description
Operation
The HIP6501A controls 3 output voltages (Refer to Figures
1, 2, and 3). It is designed for microprocessor computer
applications with 3.3V, 5V, 5VSB, and 12V outputs from an
ATX power supply. The IC is composed of two linear
controllers supplying the PCI slots’ 3.3VAUX power
(3.3VDUAL, VOUT1) and the 2.5V RDRAM or 3.3V SDRAM
memory power (2.5/3.3VMEM, VOUT2), and a dual switch
controller supplying the 5VDUAL voltage (VOUT3). In
addition, all the control and monitoring functions necessary
for complete ACPI implementation are integrated into the
HIP6501A.
Initialization
The HIP6501A automatically initializes upon receipt of input
power. The Power-On Reset (POR) function continually
monitors the 5VSB input supply voltage, initiating soft-start
operation after it exceeds its POR threshold (in either S3 or
S4/S5 states). To ensure stabilization of the 5VSB supply
before operation is allowed, POR is released 3.3ms
(typically) after 5VSB exceeds the POR threshold. The
5VSB POR trip event is also used to lock in the memory
voltage setting based on RSEL.
Operational Truth Tables
The EN3VDL and EN5VDL pins offer a host of choices in
terms of the overall system architecture and supported
features. Tables 1-3 describe the truth combinations
pertaining to each of the three outputs.

As seen in Table 3, 2.5/3.3VMEM output is maintained in S3
(Suspend-To-RAM), but not in S4/S5 state. The dual-voltage
support accommodates both SDRAM as well as RDRAM
type memories.
Additionally, the internal circuitry does not allow the
transition from an S3 (suspend to RAM) state to an S4/S5
(suspend to disk/soft off) state or vice versa. The only ‘legal’
transitions are from an active state (S0, S1) to a sleep state
(S3, S4/S5) and vice versa.
Functional Timing Diagrams
Figures 4-8 are timing diagrams, detailing the power
up/down sequences of all three outputs in response to the
status of the enable (EN3VDL, EN5VDL) and sleep-state
pins (S3, S5), as well as the status of the ATX supply.
The status of the EN3VDL and EN5VDL pins can only be
changed while in active (S0, S1) states, when the bias
supply (5VSB pin) is below POR level, or during chip
shutdown (SS pin shorted to GND); a status change of these
two pins while in a sleep state is ignored.

FIGURE 5. 3VDUAL AND 5VDUAL TIMING DIAGRAM FOR
EN3VDL = 1, EN5VDL = 0
Not shown in these diagrams is the de-glitching feature used
to protect against false sleep state tripping. Once the status
of the S3 pin changes, an internal timer is activated. If at the
end of the timeout period (typically 200µs) the input pins
present a valid state change request, then the controller
transitions to the new configuration. Otherwise, the
previously attained valid state is maintained until valid
control signals are received from the system. This particular
feature is useful in noisy computer environments if the
control signals have to travel over significant distances.

Soft-Start Circuit
5VSB
Soft-Start into Sleep States (S3, S4/S5)
The 5VSB POR function initiates the soft-start sequence. An
internal 10µA current source charges an external capacitor
to 5V. The error amplifiers reference inputs are clamped to a
level proportional to the SS (Soft-Start) pin voltage. As the
SS pin voltage slews from about 1.25V to 2.5V, the input
clamp allows a rapid and controlled output voltage rise.

Figure 9 shows the soft-start sequence for the typical
application start-up in a sleep state with all output voltages
enabled. At time T0 5VSB (bias) is applied to the circuit. At
time T1, 5VSB surpasses POR level, and an internal fast
charge circuit quickly raises the SS capacitor voltage to
approximately 1V. At this point, the 10µA current source
continues the charging up to T2, where a voltage of 1.25V
(typically) is reached and an internal clamp limits further
charging. Clamping of the soft-start voltage (T2 to T3
interval) should only be noticed with capacitors smaller than
0.1µF; soft-start capacitors of 0.1µF and above should
present a soft-start ramp void of this plateau. At time T3,
3ms (typically) past the 5VSB POR (T1), the memory output
voltage selection is latched in and the charging of the softstart capacitor resumes, using the 10µA current source. At
this point, the error amplifiers’ reference inputs are starting
their transitions, causing the output voltages to ramp up
proportionally. The ramping continues until time T4 when all
the voltages reach the set value. At time T5, when the softstart capacitor value reaches approximately 2.8V, the undervoltage monitoring circuits are activated and the soft-start
capacitor is quickly discharged down to the value attained at
time T2 (approximately 1.25V).

If both S3 and S5 are logic high at the time the 5VSB is
applied, the HIP6501A will assume an active state and keep
off the controlled external transistors until about 50ms after
the ATX’s 12V output (sensed at the 12V pin) exceeds the
set threshold (typically 10.8V). This timeout feature is
necessary in order to ensure the main ATX outputs are
stabilized. The timeout also assures smooth transitions from
sleep into active when sleep states are being supported.
During sleep to active state transitions from conditions
where the outputs are initially 0V (such as S4/S5 to S0
transition with EN3VDL = 1 and EN5VDL = 0, or simple
power-up sequence directly into active state), the 3VDUAL
and 5VDUAL outputs go through a quasi soft-start by being
pulled high through the body diodes of the N-channel
MOSFETs connected between these outputs and the 3.3V
and 5V ATX outputs, respectively. Figure 10 shows this startup scenario.

FIGURE 10. SOFT-START INTERVAL IN AN ACTIVE STATE
5VSB is already present when the main ATX outputs are
turned on at time T0. Similarly, the soft-start capacitor has
already been charged up to 1.25V and the clamp is active,
awaiting for the 12V POR timer to expire. As a result of
3.3VIN and 5VIN ramping up, the 3.3VDUAL and 5VDUAL
output capacitors charge up through the body diodes of Q3
and Q5, respectively (see Figure 3). At time T1, the 12V ATX
output exceeds the HIP6501A’s 12V under-voltage
threshold, and the internal 50ms (typical) timer is initiated. At
T2 the time-out initiates a soft-start, and the memory output
is ramped-up, reaching regulation limits at time T3.
9
Simultaneous with the memory voltage ramp-up, the DLA
pin is pulled high (to 12V), turning on Q3 and Q5, and
bringing the 3.3VDUAL and 5VDUAL outputs in regulation at
time T2. At time T4, when the soft-start voltage reaches
approximately 2.8V, the under-voltage monitoring circuits are
enabled and the soft-start capacitor is quickly discharged to
approximately 2.45V.
Requests to go into a sleep state during an active state softstart ramp-up result in a chip reset, followed by a new softstart sequence into the desired state.
Fault Protection
All the outputs are monitored against under-voltage events.
A severe over-current caused by a failed load on any of the
outputs, would, in turn, cause that specific output to
suddenly drop. If any of the output voltages drop below 69%
of their set value, such event is reported by having the
FAULT/MSEL pin pulled to 5V. Additionally, the 2.5/3.3V
memory regulator is internally current limited while in a sleep
state. Exceeding the maximum current rating of this output in
a sleep state can lead to output voltage drooping. If
excessive, this droop can ultimately trip the under-voltage
detector and send a FAULT signal to the computer system.
However, a FAULT condition will only set off the FAULT flag,
and it will not shut off or latch off any part of the circuit. If
shutdown or latch off of the circuit is desired, this can be
achieved by externally pulling or latching the SS pin low.
Pulling the SS pin low will also force the FAULT pin to go low.
Under-voltage sensing is disabled on all disabled outputs
and during soft-start ramp-up intervals. SS voltage reaching
the 2.8V threshold signals activation of the under-voltage
monitor.
Another condition that could set off the FAULT flag is chip
over-temperature. If the HIP6501A reaches an internal
temperature of 125oC (minimum), the FAULT flag is set
(FAULT/MSEL pulled high), but the chip continues to operate
until the temperature reaches 150oC (typical), when
unconditional latched shutdown of all outputs takes place.
The thermal latch can be reset only by cycling the 5VSB off,
and then on.
Output Voltages
The output voltages are internally set and do not require any
external components. Selection of the memory voltage is
done by means of an external resistor connected between
the FAULT/MSEL pin and ground. An internal 40µA (typical)
current source creates a voltage drop across this resistor.
During every 5VSB trip above POR level, this voltage is
compared with an internal reference (200mV typically).
Based on this comparison, the output voltage is set at either
2.5V (RSEL = 1kΩ), or 3.3V (RSEL = 10kΩ). It is very
important that no capacitor is connected to the FAULT/MSEL
pin; the presence of a capacitive element at this pin can lead
to false memory voltage selection. See Figure 11 for details.

Soft-Start Interval
The built-in soft-start circuitry allows tight control of the slewup speed of the output voltages controlled by the HIP6501A,
thus enabling power-ups free of supply drop-off events.
Since the outputs are ramped up in a linear fashion, the
current dedicated to charging the output capacitors can be
calculated with the following formula:

The 5VSB output of a typical ATX supply is capable of
725mA. During power-up in a sleep state, it needs to provide
sufficient current to charge up all the output capacitors and
simultaneously provide some amount of current to the output
loads. Drawing excessive amounts of current from the 5VSB
output of the ATX can lead to voltage collapse and induce a
pattern of consecutive restarts with unknown effects on the
system’s behavior or health.

The typical application employing a HIP6501A is a fairly
straight-forward implementation. Similar to any other linear
regulators, attention has to be paid to a few potentially
sensitive small signal components, such as those connected
to high-impedance nodes or those supplying critical by-pass
currents.

Due to the various system timing events, it is recommended
that the soft-start interval not be set to exceed 30ms.
Additionally, the recommended soft-start capacitor range
spans from 5nF up to 0.22µF (0.1µF recommended).
Shutdown
In case of a FAULT condition that might endanger the
computer system, or at any other time, the HIP6501A can be
shut down by pulling the SS pin below the specified
shutdown level (typically 0.8V) with an open drain or open
collector device capable of sinking a minimum of 2mA.
Pulling the SS pin low effectively shuts down all the pass
elements. Upon release of the SS pin, the HIP6501A
10
The power components (pass transistors) and the controller
IC should be placed first. The controller should be placed in
a central position on the motherboard, closer to the memory
load if possible. Ensure the VSEN2 connection is properly
sized to carry 200mA without significant resistive losses. The
pass transistors should be placed on pads capable of
heatsinking, matching the device’s power dissipation. Where
applicable, multiple via connections to a large internal plane
can significantly lower localized device temperature rise.
Placement of the decoupling and bulk capacitors should
follow a placement reflecting their purpose. As such, the
high-frequency decoupling capacitors (CHF) should be
placed as close as possible to the load they are decoupling;
the ones decoupling the controller (C12V, C5VSB) close to
the controller pins, the ones decoupling the load close to the
load connector or the load itself (if embedded). The bulk
HIP6501A
capacitance (aluminum electrolytics or tantalum capacitors)
placement is not as critical as the high-frequency capacitor
placement, but having these capacitors close to the load
they serve is preferable.
Since the output voltage drop is heavily dependent on the
ESR (equivalent series resistance) of the output capacitor
bank, the capacitors should be chosen to maintain the
output voltage above the lowest allowable regulation level.
The only critical small signal component is the soft-start
capacitor, CSS. Locate this component close to SS pin of the
control IC and connect to ground through a via placed close
to the capacitor’s ground pad. Minimize any leakage current
paths from SS node, since the internal current source is only
10µA.
Input Capacitors Selection
A multi-layer printed circuit board is recommended. Figure
12 shows the connections of most of the components in the
converter. Note that the individual capacitors each could
represent numerous physical capacitors. Dedicate one solid
layer for a ground plane and make all critical component
ground connections through vias placed as close to the
component as possible. Dedicate another solid layer as a
power plane and break this plane into smaller islands of
common voltage levels. Ideally, the power plane should
support both the input power and output power nodes. Use
copper filled polygons on the top and bottom circuit layers to
create power islands connecting the filtering components
(output capacitors) and the loads. Use the remaining printed
circuit layers for small signal wiring.
Component Selection Guidelines
Output Capacitors Selection
The output capacitors for all outputs should be selected to
allow the output voltage to meet the dynamic regulation
requirements of active state operation (S0, S1). The load
transient for the various microprocessor system’s
components may require high quality capacitors to supply
the high slew rate (di/dt) current demands. Thus, it is
recommended that capacitors COUT1 and COUT2 should be
selected for transient load regulation.
Also, during the transition between active and sleep states,
there is a short interval of time during which none of the
power pass elements are conducting - during this time the
output capacitors have to supply all the output current. The
output voltage drop during this brief period of time can be
approximated with the following formula:
tt 

∆VOUT = I OUT ×  ESR OUT + ------------------ , where
C OUT

∆VOUT - output voltage drop
ESROUT - output capacitor bank ESR
The input capacitors for an HIP6501A application must have
sufficiently low ESR so that the input voltage does not dip
excessively when energy is transferred to the output
capacitors. If the ATX supply does not meet the
specifications, certain imbalances between the ATX’s
outputs and the HIP6501A’s regulation levels could result in
a brisk transfer of energy from the input capacitors to the
supplied outputs. When transiting from active to sleep
states, this phenomena could result in the 5VSB voltage
dropping below the POR level (typically 4.3V) and
temporarily disabling the HIP6501A. The solution to this
potential problem is to use larger input capacitors (on 5VSB)
with a lower total combined ESR.
Transistor Selection/Considerations
The HIP6501A typically requires one P-Channel and two
N-Channel power MOSFETs and two bipolar NPN transistors.
One general requirement for selection of transistors for all
the linear regulators/switching elements is package selection
for efficient removal of heat. The power dissipated in a linear
regulator/switching element is:
P LINEAR = I O × ( V IN – V OUT )
Select a package and heatsink that maintains the junction
temperature below the rating with the maximum expected
ambient temperature.
Q1
The active element on the 2.5V/3.3VMEM output has
different requirements for each of the two voltage settings. In
2.5V systems utilizing RDRAM (or voltage-compatible)
memory, Q1 must be a bipolar NPN capable of conducting
the maximum required output current and it must have a
minimum current gain (hfe) of 100-150 at this current and
0.7V VCE. In such systems, the 2.5V output is regulated
from the ATX 3.3V output while in an active state. In 3.3V
systems (SDRAM or compatible) Q1 must be an N-Channel
MOSFET, since the MOSFET serves as a switch during
active states (S0, S1). The main criteria for the selection of
this transistor is output voltage budgeting. The maximum
rDS(ON) allowed at highest junction temperature can be
expressed with the following equation:
IOUT - output current during transition
V IN MIN – V OUTMIN
r DS ( ON ) MAX = ------------------------------------------------------------ , where
I OUT MAX
COUT - output capacitor bank capacitance
VIN MIN - minimum input voltage
tt - active-to-sleep or sleep-to-active transition time (10µs
typical)
VOUT MIN - minimum output voltage allowed
IOUT MAX - maximum output current
The gate bias available for this MOSFET is approximately 8V.

HIP6501A
Q4
Q3, Q5
If a P-Channel MOSFET is used to switch the 5VSB output
of the ATX supply into the 5VDUAL output during S3 and
S4/S5 states (as dictated by EN5VDL status), then, similar
to the situation where Q1 is a MOSFET, the selection criteria
of this device is also proper voltage budgeting. The
maximum rDS(ON), however, has to be achieved with only
4.5V of VGS, so a logic level MOSFET needs to be selected.
If a PNP device is chosen to perform this function, it has to
have a low saturation voltage while providing the maximum
sleep-state current and have a current gain sufficiently high
to be saturated using the minimum drive current (typically
20mA; 4mA during soft-start).
The two N-Channel MOSFETs are used to switch the 3.3V
and 5V inputs provided by the ATX supply into the
3.3VDUAL and 5VDUAL outputs, respectively, while in active
(S0, S1) states. Similar rDS(ON) criteria apply in these cases
as well, unlike the PMOS, however, these NMOS transistors
get the benefit of an increased VGS drive (approximately 8V
and 7V, respectively).
12
Q2
The NPN transistor used as sleep-state pass element on the
3.3VDUAL output must have a minimum current gain of 100
at VCE = 1.5V, and ICE = 500mA throughout the in-circuit
operating temperature range.
