The ISL9237 is a buck-boost Narrow Output Voltage DC (NVDC)

charger utilizing Intersil’s advanced R3? Technology to provide

high light-load efficiency, fast transient response and seamless

DCM/CCM transitions for a variety of mobile and industrial

applications.

In Charge mode, the ISL9237 takes input power from a wide

range of DC power sources (conventional AC/DC charger

adapters, USB PD ports, travel adapters, etc.) and safely charges

battery packs with up to 3 cells in a series configuration.

ISL9237 supports On-the-Go (OTG) function for 2- and 3-cell

battery applications. When OTG function is enabled, the ISL9237

operates in the reverse Buck mode to provide 5V at the USB port.

As a NVDC topology charger, it also regulates the system output

to a narrow DC range for stable system bus voltage. The system

power can be provided from the adapter, battery or a

combination of both. The ISL9237 can operate with only a

battery, only an adapter or both connected. For Intel IMVP8

compliant systems, the ISL9237 includes PSYS functionality,

which provides an analog signal representing total platform

power. The PSYS output will connect to a wide range of Intersil

IMVP8 core regulators to provide an IMVP8 compliant power

domain function.

The ISL9237 has serial communication via SMBus/I2C that

allows programming of many critical parameters to deliver a

customized solution. These programming parameters include,

but are not limited to: Adapter current limit, charger current limit,

system voltage setting and trickle charging current limit.
