HIP6012 DC-DC Converter Application Circuit

The figure below shows a DC-DC converter circuit for a

microprocessor application, originally designed to employ

the HIP6006 controller. Given the similarities between the

HIP6006 and HIP6012 controllers, the circuit can be

implemented using the HIP6012 controller without any

modifications. However, given the expanded reference

voltage tolerance range, the HIP6012-based converter may

require additional output capacitance. Detailed information

on the circuit, including a complete Bill-of-Materials and

circuit board description, can be found in application note

AN9722. See Intersil’s home page on the web:
