Application Information
Enable Control
The EA8421 use RUN pin to control the regulator turns on / turns off. When the RUN pin input
voltage is higher than 2V, the EA8421 enters the operating mode. Drive the RUN pin input voltage
lower than 0.4V to ensure the EA8421 into shutdown mode, as shown in Figure3. When the
device works in the shutdown mode, the shutdown supply current is less than 2uA. The EA8421
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 EA8421 will enter operating mode automatically.

Output Voltage Setting
The EA8421 output voltage can be set via a resistor divider (R1, R2). The output voltage is
calculated by following equation:
R1
0.8 V
R2
Taking into account the loop stability, R1 resistance value must be greater than 100KΩ. The
following table lists common output voltage and the corresponding R1, R2 resistance value for
reference.

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.

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:
VPWR VOUT VOUT
L
ΔIL FSW
VPWR
For most applications, 10uH to 22uH inductors are suitable for EA8421.
PCB Layout Recommendations
For EA8421 PCB layout considerations, please refer to the following suggestions in order to get
good performance.
High current path traces (shown as Figure 5.) 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.
