Integrated-Power Buck Converter
Controller with Synchronous Rectification
The HIP5020 is a high-efficiency, buck converter controller
with synchronous rectification and integralpowerMOSFETs.
Integrated current sensing eliminates the external resistor
and saves power. The controller combines two methods of
regulation: Current mode control for outstanding regulation
response to large signal load transients, and Hysteretic
mode control for high efficiency at low output currents.
The HIP5020 controller offers a high degree of flexibility.
Small components set the switching frequency, the soft-start
interval and the load current boundary between Run and
Hysteretic modes. These adjustments enable the designer
to best optimize the trade-offs of cost, efficiency and size.
The example application guide section illustrates these
trade-offs with component and vendor suggestions for three
circuit designs. These designs are suitable for use without
modification. However, the block diagram, detailed
description and HIP5020 component specifications enable
further optimization to meet specific requirements.

Example Application Guide
The HIP5020 provides the flexibility to meet differing needs.
This section illustrates the trade-off of component selection
for three DC-DC converter circuit designs. Each circuit is
optimized for a specific goal: Circuit 1 is optimized for high
efficiency, Circuit 2 is optimized for small size, and Circuit 3
is optimized for low cost. Figure 1 shows the schematic
common to all three converter designs. Table 1 shows the
expected performance parameters for each circuit. Table 2
gives the value of each component referenced in Figure 1.
Table 3 provides a listing of suggested vendors for the major
(or critical) components. Figures 2, 3 and 4 show the
efficiency and transient performance of each circuit.
