HIP6018CB-T

Overview

The HIP6018CB-T is a power management IC from Harris Corporation designed for high-performance microprocessor and computer applications. It integrates three output voltage regulators: two step-down (buck) synchronous outputs with adjustable switching frequencies between 50kHz and 1MHz, and one linear low-dropout (LDO) regulator. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 10.8V to 13.2V and supports surface mount packaging in a 24-SOIC format.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual synchronous buck converters and a single LDO regulator for comprehensive power control
• Features adjustable switching frequency for the buck outputs to optimize efficiency and component size
• Provides integrated protection mechanisms suitable for demanding microprocessor environments

Applications

• High-performance microprocessor power systems
• Computer system power management
• Multi-rail voltage regulation circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Harris Corporation or Intersil Corporation, as both entities have produced this part. Confirm the suffix 'T' indicates tape and reel packaging if required by assembly equipment. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the specific environmental constraints of the target application before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single IC solution is needed for multiple regulated voltages in computing hardware. It is appropriate for designs requiring synchronous buck conversion for efficiency combined with an LDO for noise-sensitive rails. Consider the 24-SOIC package footprint and thermal requirements during PCB layout planning.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HIP6018 family of power management controllers. It is functionally related to other multi-output regulators like the HIP6013 series but offers distinct topology combinations. The component serves as a central power control unit in legacy and specialized computing architectures requiring precise voltage sequencing and regulation.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include parts from the same family such as the HIP6013 series, though pinouts and specific output configurations must be verified against the datasheet. Cross-reference with modern equivalents from manufacturers like Richtek or Analog Devices only if electrical parameters and package dimensions are identical.
