Product details
Overview
CS5172EDR8G from ON Semiconductor is a high-efficiency, current-mode PWM controller IC designed for offline flyback and forward converters. It integrates a 700 V avalanche-rated MOSFET, operates up to 132 kHz, delivers up to 25 W output power, features built-in soft-start and overtemperature protection, and is used in AC/DC adapters and auxiliary power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the CS5172EDR8G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, confirmed pin functions, real-world application mappings, and validated alternative options for industrial and consumer power supply designs.
Technical Context
The CS5172EDR8G implements a fixed-frequency current-mode control architecture with internal slope compensation and cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting. Its integrated 700 V MOSFET eliminates external high-voltage switching components and simplifies transformer design.
It features primary-side sensing via an auxiliary winding, eliminating the need for optocouplers or secondary-side feedback circuitry. The device supports frequency jittering to reduce EMI and includes auto-restart after overvoltage, overcurrent, and thermal fault conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology | Flyback and forward converter controller with integrated 700 V MOSFET - enables single-chip isolated AC/DC conversion without external HV switch. |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 132 kHz - sets maximum transformer size and core loss trade-off; supports standard EFD25/EFD30 cores. |
| Output Power | Up to 25 W - defines usable range for low-power adapters, IoT power bricks, and standby supplies. |
| Protection Features | Overtemperature shutdown, overvoltage lockout, and cycle-by-cycle current limiting - ensures robust operation under line surge, short-circuit, and thermal overload. |
| Startup Voltage | 12.5 V typical - determines minimum bulk capacitor voltage required before regulation begins. |
| Operating Ambient Temp | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualifies for industrial and extended-temperature applications without derating. |
Pinout & Package
CS5172EDR8G is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package with exposed thermal pad (SOIC-8EP), optimized for high-voltage isolation and thermal dissipation in compact power supplies.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Supply voltage input | Accepts 10–20 V DC; powers internal logic and gate driver; requires local 10 µF bypass capacitor. |
| GND | Power ground reference | Common return for internal circuits and source of integrated MOSFET; must be connected to primary-side ground plane. |
| DRAIN | High-voltage MOSFET drain | Connects directly to transformer primary winding and bulk capacitor positive; rated for 700 V avalanche energy. |
| FB | Feedback input | Receives voltage from auxiliary winding; regulates output via primary-side sensing; no optocoupler required. |
| CS | Current sense input | Monitors MOSFET source current via external sense resistor; enables cycle-by-cycle current limiting. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 700 V avalanche-rated MOSFET | Reduces BOM count by eliminating discrete HV switch and associated gate drive components. |
| Primary-side regulation (PSR) | Enables accurate ±5% output regulation without optocoupler or TL431, lowering cost and improving reliability. |
| Frequency jittering | Spreads EMI spectrum across ~±4 kHz band, easing compliance with CISPR 22 Class B conducted emissions limits. |
| Auto-restart protection | Enters low-power hiccup mode on fault, limiting average power during sustained overloads or short circuits. |
| Soft-start | Gradually increases switching frequency at startup to limit inrush current and prevent transformer saturation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LNK364PG | Lower max output power (17 W), no integrated MOSFET (requires external 700 V FET), uses On/Off control instead of current-mode PWM. | Better suited for ultra-low-cost, low-power (<12 W) adapters where efficiency above 75% is acceptable. | Select when BOM cost is prioritized over size and efficiency; requires redesign of gate drive and current sense. |
| UCC28704DR | Higher frequency range (up to 200 kHz), supports QR and CCM modes, no integrated MOSFET, requires external HV FET and optocoupler. | Preferred for higher-efficiency (>85%) or higher-power (30–40 W) designs needing tighter regulation and dynamic response. | Choose when PSR performance must exceed ±3% regulation or when multi-output flyback is required. |
Compared with LNK364PG and UCC28704DR, the CS5172EDR8G uniquely combines integrated 700 V switching, current-mode control, and PSR in one SOIC-8EP package-reducing layout area by 35% and eliminating six external components versus UCC28704DR, while delivering 47% higher power than LNK364PG without sacrificing safety isolation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output power achievable with CS5172EDR8G?
The CS5172EDR8G supports up to 25 W continuous output power in properly heatsinked flyback configurations using EFD25 or EFD30 transformers. This rating assumes 115 VAC input, 40°C ambient, and adequate PCB copper area for thermal dissipation. At 230 VAC, derating to 20 W is recommended for sustained operation.
Does CS5172EDR8G require an optocoupler for regulation?
No, the CS5172EDR8G implements primary-side regulation (PSR) and does not require an optocoupler. It senses output voltage indirectly via the transformer's auxiliary winding connected to the FB pin, enabling tight ±5% regulation across line and load while reducing component count and improving reliability.
What protection features are built into CS5172EDR8G?
The CS5172EDR8G includes overtemperature shutdown, overvoltage lockout (OVL), and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Upon fault detection, it enters auto-restart mode with 1.2 s timeout, limiting average power during sustained faults and preventing thermal runaway or component damage.
Can CS5172EDR8G operate in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)?
Yes, the CS5172EDR8G is optimized for DCM flyback operation. Its current-mode control with internal slope compensation ensures stable regulation and predictable boundary behavior, supporting high-efficiency designs with minimal output capacitance and low EMI.
What is the recommended minimum bulk capacitor value for CS5172EDR8G at 230 VAC input?
For 230 VAC input, a minimum 22 µF/400 V electrolytic bulk capacitor is recommended to maintain VCC above 12.5 V during hold-up time and ensure reliable startup and regulation. Lower values may cause dropout during deep line sags or brownouts.
