High-Efficiency, Quad-Output, Main Power Supply Controllers for Notebook Computers
The ISL6236A dual step-down, switch-mode power-supply (SMPS) controller generates logic-supply voltages in battery-powered systems. The ISL6236A includes two pulse-width modulation (PWM) controllers, 5V/3.3V and 1.5V/1.05V. The output of SMPS1 can also be adjusted from 0.7V to 5.5V. The SMPS2 output can be adjusted from 0V to 2.5V by setting REFIN2 voltage. An optional external charge pump can be monitored through SECFB. This device features a linear regulator providing 3.3V/5V, or adjustable from 0.7V to 4.5V output via LDOREFIN.
