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, voltagemode 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 rDS(ON) of the upper MOSFET which eliminates
the need for a current sensing resistor.

Connect a capacitor from this pin to ground. This capacitor,
along with an internal 10A 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)
EN (Pin 6)
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:
This pin is the open-collector enable pin. Pull this pin below 1V
to disable the converter. In shutdown, the soft start pin is

HIP6007
Over-Current Protection
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 (VIN) on
the OCSET pin. The level on OCSET is equal to VIN 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, VIN and VCC
are equivalent and the +12V power source must exceed the
rising VCC 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.
Soft Start
The POR function initiates the soft start sequence. An internal
10A current source charges an external capacitor (CSS) 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 CSS = 0.1F.
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.
The over-current function protects the converter from a shorted
output by using the upper MOSFET’s on-resistance, rDS(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 (ROCSET)
programs the over-current trip level. An internal 200A (typical)
current sink develops a voltage across ROCSET that is
reference to VIN. When the voltage across the upper MOSFET
(also referenced to VIN) exceeds the voltage across ROCSET,
the over-current function initiates a soft-start sequence. The
soft-start function discharges CSS with a 10A current sink and
inhibits PWM operation. The soft-start function recharges CSS,
and PWM operation resumes with the error amplifier clamped
to the SS voltage. Should an overload occur while recharging
CSS, the soft start function inhibits PWM operation while fully
charging CSS 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 CSS 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.

As in any high frequency switching converter, layout is very

The compensation network consists of the error amplifier
(internal to the HIP6007) and the impedance networks ZIN and
ZFB. The goal of the compensation network is to provide a
closed loop transfer function with the highest 0dB crossing
frequency (f0dB) and adequate phase margin. Phase margin is
the difference between the closed loop phase at f0dB and
180o The equations below relate the compensation network’s
poles, zeros and gain to the components (R1, R2, R3, C1, C2,

Figure 8 shows an asymptotic plot of the DC-DC converter’s
gain vs frequency. The actual Modulator Gain has a high gain
peak do to the high Q factor of the output filter and is not shown
in Figure 8. Using the above guidelines should give 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 8 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 45o.
Include worst case component variations when determining
phase margin.

Component Selection Guidelines
Output Capacitor Selection
An output capacitor is required to filter the output and supply
the load transient current. The filtering requirements are a
function of the switching frequency and the ripple current. The
load transient requirements are a function of the slew rate
(di/dt) and the magnitude of the transient load current. These
requirements are generally met with a mix of capacitors and
careful layout.
Modern microprocessors produce transient load rates above
1A/ns. High frequency capacitors initially supply the transient
and slow the current load rate 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. For example, Intel
recommends that the high frequency decoupling for the
Pentium-Pro be composed of at least forty (40) 1.0F ceramic
capacitors in the 1206 surface-mount package.
Use only specialized low-ESR capacitors intended for
switching-regulator applications for the bulk capacitors. The
bulk capacitor’s ESR will determine the output ripple voltage
and the initial voltage drop after a high slew-rate transient. 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
Page 7 of 10
HIP6007
most cases, multiple electrolytic capacitors of small case size
perform better than a single large case capacitor.
Output Inductor Selection
The output inductor is selected to meet the output voltage
ripple requirements and minimize the converter’s response
time to the 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 O
V IN
V OUT = I x ESR
Increasing the value of inductance reduces the ripple current
and voltage. However, the large inductance values reduce 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 HIP6007 will
provide either 0% or 100% duty cycle in response to a load
transient. The response time is the time required to slew the
inductor current from an initial current value to the transient
current level. During this interval the difference between the
inductor current and the transient current level must be supplied
by the output capacitor. 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:
tRISE =
LO x ITRAN
VIN - VO
tFALL =
LO x ITRAN
VO
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. With a +5V input source,
the worst case response time can be either at the application
or removal of load and dependent upon the output voltage
setting. Be sure to check both of these equations at the
minimum and maximum output levels for the worst case
response time.
Input Capacitor Selection
Use a mix of input bypass capacitors to control the voltage
overshoot across the MOSFETs. Use small ceramic capacitors
for high frequency decoupling and bulk capacitors to supply the
current needed each time Q1 turns on. Place the small ceramic
capacitors physically close to the MOSFETs and between the
drain of Q1 and the anode of Schottky diode D2.
The important parameters for the bulk input capacitor are the
voltage rating and the RMS current rating. For reliable
operation, select the bulk capacitor with voltage and current
ratings above the maximum input voltage and largest RMS
current required by the circuit. The capacitor voltage rating
FN4307 Rev.1.00
September 1997
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 the DC load
current.
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 surgecurrent at power-up. The TPS series available from AVX, and
the 593D series from Sprague are both surge current tested.
MOSFET Selection/Considerations
The HIP6007 requires an N-Channel power MOSFET. It should
be selected based upon rDS(ON), gate supply requirements,
and thermal management requirements.
In high-current 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. The conduction losses
are the largest component of power dissipation for the
MOSFET. Switching losses also contribute to the overall
MOSFET power loss (see the equations below). These
equations assume linear voltage-current transitions and are
approximations. The gate-charge losses are dissipated by the
HIP6007 and don't heat the MOSFET. However, large gatecharge increases the switching interval, tSW, which increases
the upper MOSFET switching losses. Ensure that the
MOSFET is within its 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.
PCOND = IO2 x rDS(ON) x D
1
PSW = 2 IO x VIN x tSW x Fs
Where: D is the duty cycle = VO / VIN,
tSW is the switching interval, and
Fs is the switching frequency.
Standard-gate MOSFETs are normally recommended for use
with the HIP6007. However, logic-level gate MOSFETs can be
used under special circumstances. The input voltage, upper
gate drive level, and the MOSFET’s absolute gate-to-source
voltage rating determine whether logic-level MOSFETs are
appropriate.
Page 8 of 10
HIP6007
Figure 9 shows the upper gate drive (BOOT pin) supplied by a
bootstrap circuit from VCC. The boot capacitor, CBOOT
develops a floating supply voltage referenced to the PHASE
pin. This supply is refreshed each cycle to a voltage of VCC
less the boot diode drop (VD) when the lower MOSFET, Q2
turns on. A logic-level MOSFET can only be used for Q1 if the
MOSFET’s absolute gate-to-source voltage rating exceeds the
maximum voltage applied to VCC.
Figure 10 shows the upper gate drive supplied by a direct
connection to VCC. This option should only be used in
converter systems where the main input voltage is +5VDC or
less. The peak upper 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. A logiclevel MOSFET is a good choice for Q1 and a logic-level
MOSFET is a good choice for Q1 under these conditions.

Schottky Selection
Rectifier D2 conducts when the upper MOSFET Q1 is off. The
diode should be a Schottky type for low power losses. The
power dissipation in the schottky rectifier is approximated by:
PCOND = IO x Vf x (1 - D)
Where: D is the duty cycle = VO /VIN, and
Vf is the schottky forward voltage drop

In addition to power dissipation, package selection and heatsink
requirements are the main design tradeoffs in choosing the
schottky rectifier. Since the three factors are interrelated, the
selection process is an iterative procedure. The maximum
junction temperature of the rectifier must remain below the
manufacturer’s specified value, typically 125oC. By using the
package thermal resistance specification and the schottky
power dissipation equation (shown above), the junction
temperature of the rectifier can be estimated. Be sure to use the
available airflow and ambient temperature to determine the
junction temperature rise.
