HIP6018BCB

Overview

The HIP6018BCB is a synchronous buck switching controller manufactured by Harris Corporation, distributed by Rochester Electronics. It operates with voltage-mode control and pulse width modulation (PWM) to regulate power conversion. The device supports a maximum switching frequency of 1000 kHz and functions within an input voltage range of 10.8 V to 13.2 V, with a nominal input of 12 V. It is designed for operation from +5V or +12V inputs. The component is housed in a 14-pin Plastic Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC-14) package, identified as PDSO14. It contains one functional unit and exhibits a humidity sensitivity level of 1.

Feature Summary

• Implements voltage-mode control architecture utilizing pulse width modulation techniques for precise regulation.
• Supports high-frequency switching operations up to 1000 kHz for efficient power management.
• Designed for flexible input supply compatibility, operating from +5V or +12V sources.

Applications

• Voltage regulation in computer peripheral power supplies
• Point-of-load conversion for digital logic circuits
• General-purpose DC-DC step-down power stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as this part is distributed by Rochester Electronics rather than the original equipment manufacturer. Confirm the specific suffix 'CB' corresponds to the required plastic SOIC-14 package variant. Ensure compliance requirements align with the leaded status and non-RoHS certification indicated in the official specifications before integration into new designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a synchronous buck controller with voltage-mode PWM is required for 12V systems. The 1000 kHz switching capability allows for compact passive component selection. Verify that the 10.8 V to 13.2 V input window matches the system supply rails. The SOIC-14 package offers a standard footprint suitable for general-purpose PCB layouts requiring single-channel control.

Part Context

The HIP6018 series represents a family of synchronous buck controllers developed by Harris Semiconductor. These devices are engineered for high-efficiency power conversion in computing and telecommunications applications. Rochester Electronics provides these components as surplus or obsolescence management solutions, maintaining the original technical specifications while managing distribution for legacy hardware support.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference data for verified substitutes. Generic replacements may differ in pinout or control topology.
