Expert Insights & Lab Notes
By Jonathan Lu, Senior Analog Design Engineer
"While the datasheet highlights 67mW, the real strength of the EUA6210MIR1 is its Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR). In USB-C dongle designs, switching noise from the DC-DC converter often leaks into the audio path. My bench tests show that using a 10µF Tantalum cap paired with a 0.1µF MLCC directly at the VCC pin virtually eliminates audible 'hiss' during quiet passages."
Top Integration Tips:
- Kelvin Connections: Always route the feedback loop ground to a clean star-point to prevent ground loops.
- Input Coupling: Use high-quality film or X7R capacitors for Cin to avoid microphonic noise in high-vibration environments.
- Thermal Relief: Although quiescent current is low, under full 32Ω load, ensure at least 50mm² of copper plane is connected to the GND pins for heat dissipation.
Typical Application: USB-C Audio Dongle

Integration & Troubleshooting Flow
Troubleshooting Checklist
- Audible Hum: Check ground stitching between digital and analog planes.
- Distortion at High Volume: Verify if supply voltage is sagging under load; increase bulk capacitance.
- DC Offset: Ensure input coupling capacitors are not leaking or shorted.
Measurement Methodology
Use an Audio Precision (AP) analyzer or high-res FFT with a 32Ω non-inductive load. Always perform A-weighted SNR captures with input shorted to ground to establish the true noise floor of your specific PCB layout.
