HIP6012CBZ-T

Special Purpose Regulators Overview

The HIP6012CBZ-T is a switching controller manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, distributed by Rochester Electronics. It operates in voltage-mode control using pulse width modulation (PWM) technology. The device supports input voltages ranging from 10.8 V to 13.2 V, with a nominal rating of 12 V, and can also operate from +5V or +12V inputs. It features a maximum switching frequency of 1000 kHz and is housed in a 14-pin Plastic Dual Small Outline (PDSO14) package, specifically SOIC-14. The component has a moisture sensitivity level of 1 and contains one functional unit.

Special Purpose Regulators Feature Summary

• Implements voltage-mode control architecture for stable power regulation
• Utilizes pulse width modulation (PWM) technique for efficient switching management
• Designed for operation from standard +5V or +12V input sources

Special Purpose Regulators Applications

• Disk drive supply evaluation boards
• General-purpose switching power supply circuits
• Embedded power management systems requiring 12V input

Special Purpose Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CBZ-T' against official datasheets to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and lead-free status, as generic part numbers may vary. Confirm RoHS compliance details directly with the distributor, as historical data indicates potential non-compliance for older variants. Ensure the source is an authorized channel for Rochester Electronics or Renesas products to guarantee authenticity and traceability of this discontinued or legacy component.

Special Purpose Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated voltage-mode PWM controller is required for 12V input applications. The 14-pin SOIC package offers a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained designs. Consider the 1000 kHz maximum switching frequency for balancing efficiency and component size. Verify that the single-channel functionality meets the system requirements, as multi-phase options exist within the broader product family.

Special Purpose Regulators Part Context

The HIP6012 series belongs to the Renesas/Intersil portfolio of power management integrated circuits. This specific model is a switching controller often utilized in legacy industrial and consumer electronics. Distribution through Rochester Electronics suggests it may be a surplus or obsolescence management channel item. The component represents a mature technology solution for basic DC-DC conversion topologies.

Special Purpose Regulators Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference lists for direct pin-compatible substitutes. Generic PWM controllers may require circuit redesign due to differences in control loop compensation and driver strength. Verify thermal performance and operating temperature ranges match the original application constraints before substitution.
