I don't have a definite answer for you. But I think it's sy7636a

The page you linked to above lists SY7636ARMC as well as SY7627RMC,
SY7570RMC. That makes me think that the RMC is a generic suffix and
this actual IC is the SY7636A.

I think it's SY7636A

Ok, I'll add a comment.

Good question. This is unused so I have just removed it.

Yep, this is all that I currently have information on.
