topology is used, this is not the case. Shutting down the regu-
lator via the V
C
terminal will cut off the output. Figure 36 shows
two methods of shutting down the IC. In each case the current
sinking circuit must be able to sink at least 4mA, the maximum
current from the HIP5061 V
C
terminal.
FIGURE 36. TWO METHODS OF SHUTTING DOWN THE HIP5061
Mounting, Layout and Component
Selection
The TO-220 package with its gullwing leads was designed to
be surface mounted. To aid in the external reduction of lead
length and hence inductance and resistance, the IC leads
were staggered. To keep the inductance and resistance of
the critical drain terminal as low as possible, it is suggested
that the PC trace to the DMOS transistor drain terminal be
made as wide as possible. The adjacent source terminal is
not recommended to be used and therefore allows the metal
to the drain terminal to be widened beyond the normal
widths for these terminals. Figure 37 illustrates these points.
One of the most important aspects to the proper application
of this device is high frequency bypassing. In a Boost con-
verter, for example, there should be a low-inductance inter-
connect from the DMOS transistor drain, through the output
diode and capacitors, and returning to the TAB (source) of
the HIP5061. Inductance in this line results in large transient
voltages on the DMOS transistor drain terminal which can
result in voltages above the maximum DMOS transistor
drain voltage rating.

All the capacitors shown with values of 1
μ
F or less are of the
multilayer ceramic type with the X7R dielectric material. This
material has a fairly flat voltage and temperature coefficient
that assures that the capacitance remains comparatively con-
stant at extreme operating temperatures and voltages. The
multilayer construction allows for comparatively large values
with good volumetric efficiency and low inductance. Capaci-
tors around the power input and output circuits should be
returned to the device TAB via a low inductance ground plane.
This TAB is internally connected to the DMOS transistor
source. The schematic diagram of Figure 38 was drawn with
the diagonal leads to show the critical paths for the various
high frequency elements. These short interconnects assure
the lowest inductance around the output power circuit.
Design of a 28V, 1.8A Boost Converter
Figure 38 shows the schematic diagram and a parts list of a
50W supply designed with the HIP5061. Table 3 tabulates
the performance of the power supply.
Inductor Selection
In order to maximize the output power for the given maxi-
mum controllable DMOS transistor current, this converter
has been designed to operate in continuous current mode
(CCM). In this mode, the inductor value will generally be
large, resulting in a lower inductor ripple current and a lower
peak DMOS current. To ensure that the converter operates
in CCM over the usable range of input voltage and output
current, the value of L2 must be greater than the “critical
inductance,” given by
