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.
