HIP6013CBZ

Special Purpose Regulators Overview

The HIP6013CBZ is a synchronous buck switching controller manufactured by Intersil, now part of Renesas Electronics. It operates from a +5V or +12V input supply and utilizes voltage-mode control with pulse width modulation to regulate output voltage. The device supports high-frequency switching up to 1MHz and features integrated charge pump circuitry for driving high-side N-channel MOSFETs. Designed for applications requiring efficient power conversion in the +2.5V to +12V range, it includes protection mechanisms such as overcurrent detection and thermal shutdown within a 14-pin SOIC package.

Special Purpose Regulators Feature Summary

• Synchronous buck architecture with integrated charge pump for high-side N-channel MOSFET drive
• Voltage-mode control with adjustable frequency support up to 1MHz
• Integrated overcurrent detection and thermal shutdown protection
• Operates from standard +5V or +12V input rails

Special Purpose Regulators Applications

• Point-of-load regulation for digital signal processors
• Power distribution units in telecommunications equipment
• Embedded systems requiring stable low-voltage DC supplies
• Industrial control boards needing isolated power stages

Special Purpose Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Renesas distributors due to historical Intersil acquisition. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to soldering. Check for obsolescence notices as legacy models may have limited availability. Ensure packaging matches design requirements for surface-mount assembly processes.

Special Purpose Regulators Selection Notes

Select this controller when designing synchronous buck converters requiring simple voltage-mode control without complex current-mode compensation. Ideal for designs operating between +2.5V and +12V outputs where efficiency and thermal performance are critical. Consider alternative models if higher switching frequencies or digital interface capabilities are required.

Special Purpose Regulators Part Context

Part of the HIP60xx series of power management ICs originally developed by Intersil before its acquisition by Renesas Electronics. This family targets mid-power applications requiring reliable synchronous rectification. The CBZ suffix indicates a lead-free, halogen-free plastic SOIC-14 package suitable for industrial temperature ranges.

Special Purpose Regulators Replacement Considerations

Consult Renesas product legacy documents for direct substitutes. Potential alternatives include HIP6012CBZ or HIP6013CBZA-T depending on pin compatibility and thermal requirements. Verify electrical parameter equivalence before substitution.
