With the maximum load current at 2.0A. A typical
X5R or better grade ceramic capacitor with 6.3V rating
and more than 1 pcs 22µ F capacitor can handle this
ripple current well. To minimize the potential noise
problem, ceramic capacitor should really be placed
close to the IN and GND pins. Care should be taken to
minimize the loop area formed by CIN, and IN/GND
pins

Feedback resistor dividers R1 and R2:
Choose R1 and R2 to program the proper output
voltage. To minimize the power consumption under
light loads, it is desirable to choose large resistance
values for both R1 and R2. A value of between 10k and
1M is highly recommended for both resistors. If Vout
is 1.8V, R1=100k is chosen, then R2 can be calculated
to be 50k.:

Output inductor L:
There are several considerations in choosing this
inductor.
1) Choose the inductance to provide the desired
ripple current. It is suggested to choose the ripple
current to be about 40% of the maximum output
current. The inductance is calculated as:

Because of the high integration in the SY8089 IC, the
application circuit based on this regulator IC is rather
simple. Only input capacitor CIN, output capacitor COUT,
output inductor L and feedback resistors (R1 and R2)
need to be selected for the targeted applications
specifications.

Applications Information
Output capacitor COUT:
The output capacitor is selected to handle the output
ripple noise requirements. Both steady state ripple and
transient requirements must be taken into consideration
when selecting this capacitor. For the best performance,
it is recommended to use X5R or better grade ceramic
capacitor with 6.3V rating and greater than 22µF
capacitance.

(SY8089A) The frequency is folded back to about 30%
of the nominal frequency and the current limit is folded
back to 3.0A to prevent the inductor current from
runaway and to reduce the power dissipation of the IC
under short circuit conditions.
Over-voltage Protection
If the output voltage exceeds 120% of the regulation
level for more than 20µs, IC will turn off both power
switches and turn on the discharge switch, entering
over-voltage protection. It will remain in this state until
IN or EN voltage is recycled.

Short Circuit Protection
(SY8089)After the soft start is over, if the output
voltage falls below 40% of the regulation level, IC will
turn off both power switches, entering short circuit
protection. It will remain in this state until the IN or EN
voltage is recycled.

re
SY8089 is a synchronous buck regulator IC that
integrates the PWM control, top and bottom switches
on the same die to minimize the switching transition
loss and conduction loss. With ultra low RDS(ON) power
switches and proprietary PWM control, this regulator
IC can achieve the highest efficiency and the highest
switch frequency simultaneously to minimize the
external inductor and capacitor size, and thus achieving
the minimum solution footprint.

VOUT (1 − VOUT /VIN, MAX )
FSW × IOUT, MAX × 40%
where Fsw is the switching frequency and IOUT,MAX is
the maximum load current.
The SY8089 regulator IC is quite tolerant of different
ripple current amplitude. Consequently, the final choice

of inductance can be slightly off the calculation value
without significantly impacting the performance.
2) The saturation current rating of the inductor must
be selected to be greater than the peak inductor
current under full load conditions.
1) It is desirable to maximize the PCB copper area
connecting to GND pin to achieve the best thermal and
noise performance. If the board space allowed, a
ground plane is highly desirable.
2) CIN must be close to Pins IN and GND. The loop
area formed by CIN and GND must be minimized.

5) If the system chip interfacing with the EN pin has a
high impedance state at shutdown mode and the IN pin
is connected directly to a power source such as a LiIon
battery, it is desirable to add a pull down 1MΩ resistor
between the EN and GND pins to prevent the noise
from falsely turning on the regulator at shutdown mode.

Load Transient Considerations:
The SY8089 regulator IC integrates the compensation
components to achieve good stability and fast transient
responses. In some applications, adding a 22pF ceramic
cap in parallel with R1 may further speed up the load
transient responses and is thus recommended for
applications with large load transient step requirements.
4) The components R1, R2, and the trace connecting to
the FB pin must NOT be adjacent to the LX net on the
PCB layout to avoid the noise problem.
re
Enable Operation
Pulling the EN pin low (1.5V) will turn on the IC again.
3) The PCB copper area associated with LX pin must
be minimized to avoid the potential noise problem.
pa
3) The DCR of the inductor and the core loss at the
switching frequency must be low enough to
achieve the desired efficiency requirement. It is
desirable to choose an inductor with DCR IOUT, MAX +
Layout Design:
The layout design of SY8089 regulator is relatively
simple. For the best efficiency and minimum noise
problems, we should place the following components
close to the IC: CIN, L, R1 and R2.
