DATASHEET
ISL6236
High-Efficiency, Quad-Output, Main Power Supply Controllers for Notebook
Computers
The ISL6236 dual step-down, switch-mode power-supply
(SMPS) controller generates logic-supply voltages in
battery-powered systems. The ISL6236 include 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. The linear regulator provides up
to 100mA output current with automatic linear-regulator
bootstrapping to the BYP input. When in switchover, the LDO
output can source up to 200mA. The ISL6236 includes
on-board power-up sequencing, the power-good (POK)
outputs, digital soft-start, and internal soft-stop output
discharge that prevents negative voltages on shutdown.
A constant ON-time PWM control scheme operates without
sense resistors and provides 100ns response to load
transients while maintaining a relatively constant switching
frequency. The unique ultrasonic pulse-skipping mode
maintains the switching frequency above 25kHz, which
eliminates noise in audio applications. Other features include
pulse skipping, which maximizes efficiency in light-load
applications, and fixed-frequency PWM mode, which reduces
RF interference in sensitive applications.

NOTES:
1. These Intersil Pb-free plastic packaged products employ special
Pb-free material sets, molding compounds/die attach materials,
and 100% matte tin plate plus anneal (e3 termination finish, which
is RoHS compliant and compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free
soldering operations). Intersil Pb-free products are MSL classified
at Pb-free peak reflow temperatures that meet or exceed the Pb-
free requirements of IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.
