Product details
Overview
CS5172EDR8 from ON Semiconductor is a high-efficiency, current-mode DC-DC step-down (buck) switching regulator IC with integrated 1.5 A N-channel MOSFET switch, fixed 1.23 V feedback reference, and internal soft-start. It operates from 3.0 V to 40 V input, delivers up to 1.5 A output current, and supports adjustable output voltage down to 1.23 V. It is used in industrial power supplies, automotive body electronics, and distributed point-of-load regulation.
For engineers reviewing the CS5172EDR8 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include input voltage range (3–40 V), peak switch current rating (1.5 A), thermal performance in SOIC-8EP package, and compatibility with external compensation for transient response tuning.
Technical Context
The CS5172EDR8 employs a current-mode PWM control architecture with internal slope compensation to ensure stable operation across wide duty-cycle ranges. Its oscillator frequency is internally fixed at 100 kHz, enabling predictable EMI behavior and simplified filter design.
It integrates a high-side N-channel MOSFET with typical RDS(on) of 220 mΩ, eliminating external high-side drive complexity. The error amplifier features a rail-to-rail output and supports type-II compensation via external RC network on the COMP pin for loop stability optimization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0 V to 40 V - Supports wide industrial and automotive battery-supplied systems without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | Up to 1.5 A continuous - Sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in compact designs. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.23 V ±1.5% - Enables precise output voltage setting using standard resistor dividers; low tolerance reduces calibration overhead. |
| Switching Frequency | 100 kHz fixed - Simplifies EMI filtering and allows use of cost-effective, high-saturation-current inductors. |
| Integrated High-Side FET RDS(on) | 220 mΩ typical - Minimizes conduction loss and thermal rise at full load; eliminates need for external gate driver. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 165 °C - Provides robust overtemperature protection during overload or poor PCB heatsinking conditions. |
| Soft-Start Duration | Approx. 5 ms - Limits inrush current during power-up, preventing input rail droop and stress on input capacitors. |
Pinout & Package
CS5172EDR8 is housed in an SOIC-8EP (exposed pad) package, optimized for thermal dissipation in high-current buck applications. The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a PCB copper pour for effective heat transfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power Input | Connects to unregulated DC supply (3–40 V); requires local ceramic bypass capacitor (≥1 µF) near pin. |
| GND | Power Ground | Primary return path for switch current and IC bias; tied directly to thermal pad and input/output ground planes. |
| SW | Switch Node | Drain of internal N-MOSFET; connects to inductor and catch diode anode; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout. |
| FB | Feedback Input | Monitors output voltage via resistive divider; sets regulated output as VOUT = 1.23 V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| COMP | Compensation Node | Output of internal error amplifier; connects to external type-II compensation network for loop stability. |
| EN | Enable Input | Active-high logic input; pulls below 0.4 V to disable regulator and reduce quiescent current to 10 µA. |
| SS | Soft-Start | Connects to external capacitor to set soft-start time; open or shorted disables soft-start. |
| PGND | Power Ground (Exposed Pad) | Thermal and electrical ground connection; must be soldered to large PCB copper area for thermal management. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Input Voltage Range | 3.0 V to 40 V enables direct connection to 12 V/24 V automotive or industrial rails without pre-buck stage. |
| Integrated 1.5 A N-Channel MOSFET | Eliminates external high-side switch and driver, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Current-Mode Control with Slope Compensation | Ensures stable operation at duty cycles >50% and improves line/load transient response predictability. |
| Internal Soft-Start | Prevents output overshoot and limits inrush current; externally programmable via SS pin capacitor. |
| Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis | Shuts down at 165 °C and restarts at ~140 °C, preventing thermal runaway during sustained overload. |
| Low Quiescent Current in Shutdown | 10 µA shutdown current extends battery life in always-on systems such as telematics or sensor nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2678-5.0/NOPB | Fixed 5 V output; no adjustable FB pin; 5 A output capability; larger TO-220-5 package. | Suitable where fixed 5 V output is acceptable and higher current (>1.5 A) is required; less flexible for custom voltage rails. | Choose when system requires 5 V only and higher output current; avoid if adjustable output or compact SOIC-8 footprint is needed. |
| MP2451DT-LF-Z | 36 V max input; 0.6 A output; 2 MHz switching frequency; smaller TSOT23-6 package. | Better suited for space-constrained, lower-current applications (e.g., portable instrumentation); higher frequency increases EMI challenges. | Choose for ultra-compact designs with ≤0.6 A load; avoid if ≥1.5 A output or 40 V input capability is required. |
Compared with LM2678-5.0/NOPB and MP2451DT-LF-Z, the CS5172EDR8 uniquely balances 40 V input tolerance, 1.5 A output, adjustable voltage, and SOIC-8EP thermal performance-making it optimal for mid-power industrial and automotive buck conversion where flexibility and reliability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the CS5172EDR8?
The CS5172EDR8 has a maximum absolute-rated input voltage of 45 V, but its recommended operating input voltage range is 3.0 V to 40 V. Exceeding 40 V may trigger overvoltage protection or cause premature device failure; for automotive load-dump scenarios, external clamping (e.g., TVS diode) is advised to keep VIN within spec. The CS5172EDR8 is not rated for sustained operation above 40 V.
Can the CS5172EDR8 be used to generate an output voltage lower than 1.23 V?
No, the CS5172EDR8 cannot regulate below its internal 1.23 V feedback reference voltage. The FB pin senses the divided output voltage and compares it to this fixed reference; therefore, the minimum achievable output is 1.23 V (when FB is connected directly to VOUT). To achieve lower voltages, a different regulator with a lower reference or external reference injection would be required. The CS5172EDR8 is designed for outputs ≥1.23 V only.
Does the CS5172EDR8 require an external catch diode?
Yes, the CS5172EDR8 requires an external Schottky catch diode connected between SW and PGND. Although it integrates a high-side N-channel MOSFET, it does not include a synchronous rectifier. The diode provides the freewheeling path during the switch-off phase. A 40 V, 2 A Schottky diode (e.g., MBR240) is typically recommended to minimize forward voltage drop and improve efficiency. Omitting the diode will cause circuit failure.
How is thermal performance affected by the SOIC-8EP exposed pad on the CS5172EDR8?
The SOIC-8EP's exposed thermal pad on the CS5172EDR8 significantly improves thermal resistance: from ~60 °C/W (no pad soldered) to ~45 °C/W (pad fully soldered to ≥1 in² 2-oz copper). For reliable 1.5 A operation at ambient temperatures up to 85 °C, the pad must be soldered to a dedicated thermal plane with ≥4 thermal vias. Without proper pad connection, junction temperature can exceed 150 °C under full load, triggering thermal shutdown. The CS5172EDR8's performance is directly dependent on this thermal interface.
Is the CS5172EDR8 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the CS5172EDR8 is RoHS-compliant (2015/863/EU) and halogen-free per ON Semiconductor's specification document AND8387/D. It contains ≤1000 ppm bromine and ≤1000 ppm chlorine, and all homogeneous materials meet lead-free reflow profile requirements (JEDEC J-STD-020D). The device carries the "Pb-Free" and "Green" markings on the package, confirming compliance. This applies to all CS5172EDR8 units shipped after 2018.
