Evaluation Board User Guide
Description
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 (4V to 20V) of DC power sources (conventional AC/DC
charger adapters, USB PD ports, travel adapters, etc.) and safely
charges battery packs with up to three cells in a series
configuration.
The ISL9237 supports On-the-Go (OTG) function for 2- and
3-cell battery applications. When OTG function is enabled, the
ISL9237 operates in Reverse Buck mode to provide 5V at the
USB port.
The ISL9237 has serial communication via SMBus/I
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.
The ISL9237EVAL2Z evaluation board is designed to
demonstrate the performance of the ISL9237. The default
value numbers of the battery in series, the switching
frequency, and the adapter current limit charging function can
be programmed by the resistor from the PROG pin to GND.
Those values also can be set by SMBus.
