Synchronous Buck Converter
Datasheet
General Description
The EA8212A is a pure PWM mode 2A buck regulator, designed to operate from 4.5V to 21V input
voltage range. Built-in low RDS(ON) high/low side Power-MOSFETS not only reduce external
components and has up to 95% efficiency, ideal for 2A output current applications. The EA8212A
has complete protection functions, including cycle-by-cycle current limit, short circuit protection,
OVP and OTP protection. The internal compensation design not only allows users to more
simplified application, and can reduce the cost of external components. The EA8212A is available
in the SOT-23-6 package and easy to use.

Application Information
Enable Control
The EA8212A use RUN pin to control the regulator turns on / turns off. When the RUN pin input
voltage is higher than 2V, the EA8212A enters the operating mode. Drive the RUN pin input
voltage lower than 0.4V to ensure the EA8212A into shutdown mode. Don’t leave the RUN pin in the
floating state, connect RUN pin to ground with a 1MΩ resistor for weak pull-down, as shown in
Figure3. When the device works in the shutdown mode, the shutdown supply current is less than
1uA. The EA8212A also provides automatic startup function as shown in Figure 4. Connect RUN
pin and PWR pin with a 150KΩ resistor, when the PWR supply input voltage increasing and higher
than RUN pin threshold voltage, the EA8212A will enter operating mode automatically.

Input / Output Capacitors Selection
The input capacitors are used to suppress the noise amplitude of the input voltage and provide a
stable and clean DC input to the device. Because the ceramic capacitor has low ESR
characteristic, so it is suitable for input capacitor use. It is recommended to use X5R or X7R
MLCC capacitors in order to have better temperature performance and smaller capacitance
tolerance. In order to suppress the output voltage ripple, the MLCC capacitor is also the best
choice. The suggested part numbers of input / output capacitors are as follows:

Output Inductor Selection
The output inductor selection mainly depends on the amount of ripple current through the inductor
∆IL. Large ∆IL will cause larger output voltage ripple and loss, but the user can use a smaller
inductor to save cost and space. On the contrary, the larger inductance can get smaller ∆IL and
thus the smaller output voltage ripple and loss. But it will increase the space and the cost. The
inductor value can be calculated as:

PCB Layout Recommendations
For EA8212A PCB layout considerations, please refer to the following suggestions in order to get
good performance.
High current path traces (shown as below) need to be widened.
Place the input capacitors as close as possible to the PWR pin to reduce noise
interference.
Keep the feedback path (from VOUT to FBK) away from the noise node (ex. SWITCH).
SWITCH is a high current noise node. Complete the layout by using short and wide
traces.
