The HIP6015 provides complete control and protection for a DC-DC converter optimized for high-performance microprocessor applications. It is designed to drive an N-Channel MOSFET in a standard buck topology. The HIP6015 integrates all of the control, output adjustment, monitoring and protection functions into a single package.

The output voltage of the converter is easily adjusted and precisely regulated. The HIP6015 includes a fully TTL-compatible 5-input digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that adjusts the output voltage from 2.1VDC to 3.5VDC in 0.1V increments and from 1.8VDC to 2.05VDC in 0.05V steps. The precision reference and voltage-mode regulator hold the selected output voltage to within ±1 over temperature and line voltage variations.
