HIP6004BCV-T

The HIP6004BCV-T is an integrated circuit designed by Intersil that serves as a current-mode Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) buck converter voltage regulator. It has been built to support equipment with deeply sub-micron processes and is capable of up to 6 Amps of output current, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial, communications, and computer applications. The device is able to efficiently change a source input voltage into a regulated output voltage with a wide range of voltage options.

This makes the HIP6004BCV-T optimal for a variety of electronics, including those powered by batteries. It has multiple safety features, including Under-Voltage Lock-Out (UVLO) with hysteresis and over-current protection (OCP). Its enable pin is programmable, offering constant frequency control even with shutdown assessment. Its 3-phase Interleaved PWM control provides even current distribution and lower power dissipation.

The HIP6004BCV-T is most commonly used to supplement the output of a DC-DC buck converter, allowing the system to maintain precise regulation under variable line, load, and temperature conditions. This makes the device especially well-suited for a variety of power applications, such as processors, DC/DC converters, embedded systems, cell phones, laptop computers, and other portable radio equipment.

The device works by a PWM technique, meaning that it rapidly switches between two states. This allows the output voltage to be controlled by detecting the voltage level of an input signal. The regulator will then adjust its frequency and duty cycle in order to maintain the detected voltage level. This process allows for high power conversion efficiency when compared to linear regulation.

The HIP6004BCV-T is able to provide an output voltage of 0.8V to 1.2V with an efficiency rating up to 97%. It is designed with an adjustable OCP threshold, adjustable VCC voltage, adjustable soft-start and frequency synchronization. Its current mode control eliminates the need for external components and its logic controlled CLK frequency control reduces power supply emissions. In addition, the device is also RoHS compliant.

Because of its combination of features, the HIP6004BCV-T is applicable in a wide range of uses, from cellular base station power supplies to high-voltage battery-operated applications. It is an effective and efficient option for power supply design and its combination of features, such as its 3-phase interleaved PWM control, make it especially well-suited for applications where a high degree of precision is required.
