Almost all chips have an ordering suffix, indicating things like
temperature range or packaging. The datasheet says:

Ordering Information
SY7636 □(□□)□
             | Temperature Code (C)
          | Package Code (RM)
        | Optional Spec Code (A)

The datasheet otherwise refers to the chip as SY7636A.
