Product details
Overview
CS5174GD8G from onsemi is a 560 kHz, negative-feedback switching boost regulator with integrated 1.5 A NPN power switch, operating from 2.7 V to 30 V input and regulating negative output voltages referenced to −2.45 V at the NFB pin. It employs current-mode control, supports flyback/SEPIC/inverting topologies, and includes thermal shutdown, frequency foldback, and external synchronization - used in industrial DC-DC conversion where compact, wide-input negative rail generation is required.
For engineers reviewing the CS5174GD8G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its −2.45 V NFB reference accuracy, 560 kHz nominal switching frequency, 1.5 A guaranteed switch current, SOIC-8 package compatibility, and pin-to-pin equivalence with LT1373 for drop-in replacement in negative-output designs.
Technical Context
The CS5174GD8G implements current-mode control using an internal ramp derived from switch current, enabling fast line/load response and inherent pulse-by-pulse current limiting. Its oscillator is trimmed to ±18% accuracy and operates at 560 kHz (base) or drops to 104 kHz under overload via NFB threshold detection (−0.65 V).
It integrates a transconductance negative error amplifier (160 mho typ) with −2.45 V reference, VC pin clamped between 0.5 V and 1.7 V for loop compensation and current limit setting, and features dual ground separation (AGND for analog, PGND for power switch return) to minimize noise coupling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 560 kHz nominal; reduces to 104 kHz during overload to limit component stress |
| NFB Reference Voltage | −2.45 V (typ); sets regulated negative output voltage via external resistor divider |
| Integrated Switch Current | 1.5 A guaranteed; enables compact boost/flyback designs without external MOSFET |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 30 V; supports wide-range industrial and automotive inputs |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 180 °C (typ); with 25 °C hysteresis for reliable overtemperature recovery |
| Shutdown Current | 60 µA max (VCC ≤ 30 V); enables ultra-low-power standby mode |
| Max Duty Cycle | 90% (typ); supports high step-up ratios in boost and SEPIC configurations |
Pinout & Package
CS5174GD8G is housed in an SOIC-8 (Case 751) package with exposed thermal pad (D suffix), rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) and Pb-free construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VC | Loop compensation & current limit control | Output of negative error amplifier; clamped 0.5–1.7 V; RC network here sets stability and adjusts peak switch current |
| 2 - NFB | Negative feedback input | Senses regulated negative output; referenced to −2.45 V; triggers frequency foldback above −0.65 V |
| 3 - Test | Internal test node | Must be left floating or grounded; voltage 2–6 V disables oscillator and holds switch on |
| 4 - SS | Sync/shutdown control | TTL-compatible; low = shutdown (60 µA mode); external clock up to 1 MHz synchronizes switching |
| 5 - VCC | Power supply input | 2.7–30 V operation; requires local bypass capacitor to AGND for stable bias |
| 6 - AGND | Analog ground reference | Low-noise return for FB/NFB/VC; must be isolated from high-current PGND paths |
| 7 - PGND | Power switch emitter return | High-current path for 1.5 A switch; connects directly to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI control |
| 8 - VSW | Switch collector output | Drives external inductor/diode; withstands 40 V transient; trace must be short to minimize radiation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current-mode architecture | Enables immediate line regulation and single-pole loop compensation - simplifies stability design vs. voltage-mode controllers |
| Frequency foldback under fault | Reduces switching frequency to 20% of nominal when NFB > −0.65 V, lowering stress on inductor, diode, and capacitors during short-circuit |
| Dual ground isolation (AGND/PGND) | Prevents switching noise from corrupting feedback sensing - critical for accurate −2.45 V regulation and low-output-ripple performance |
| External sync capability | Accepts TTL-level clock up to 1000 kHz, enabling multi-rail systems to eliminate beat frequencies and reduce EMI |
| Adjustable current limit via VC clamp | Connecting external shunt to VC lowers clamp voltage, scaling peak switch current below 1.5 A for lower-power or thermally constrained layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar negative-output switching regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1373CS8#PBF | Pin-to-pin compatible; same 560 kHz freq, −2.5 V NFB ref, but higher 2.5 A switch current and 40 V VSW rating | Supports higher output power (up to 25 W) and wider output voltage swing (−25 V possible) | Select when >1.5 A load current or >40 V transient tolerance is required; layout identical |
| TPS61086PW | 500 kHz fixed freq; positive-only FB (no NFB pin); requires external inverting op-amp for negative regulation | Not suitable for direct negative-output regulation; needs added components and board area | Consider only if redesigning for positive-regulated intermediate bus feeding inverting charge pump |
Compared with LT1373CS8#PBF, CS5174GD8G offers lower cost and sufficient 1.5 A capability for sub-20 W negative rails, while TPS61086PW lacks native negative feedback support - making CS5174GD8G the optimal choice for dedicated, space-constrained negative DC-DC conversion.

FAQ
What is the exact NFB reference voltage specification for CS5174GD8G?
The CS5174GD8G has a nominal NFB reference voltage of −2.45 V, with a guaranteed range of −2.55 V to −2.35 V across industrial temperature (−40°C to +125°C) and 2.7–30 V input. This value is measured with VC held at 1.25 V and defines the regulation point for negative output voltages - for example, a −12 V output requires R1/R2 = 3.89:1 in the NFB divider network. The CS5174GD8G maintains ±0.01%/V line regulation, ensuring stable output despite input fluctuations.
Can CS5174GD8G be used in a flyback configuration, and what are the key layout considerations?
Yes, CS5174GD8G supports flyback topology per its datasheet, leveraging the NFB pin for negative secondary-side regulation. Critical layout practices include separating AGND (pins 5/6) from PGND (pin 7) with a single-point connection near the IC, routing the VSW trace short and wide to minimize ringing, and placing the transformer primary snubber (TVS + diode) directly across VSW–PGND. The CS5174GD8G's 40 V VSW rating and frequency foldback protect against leakage-inductance spikes - essential for reliable flyback operation with variable loads.
How does the frequency foldback feature operate in CS5174GD8G during overload?
In CS5174GD8G, frequency foldback activates when the NFB pin voltage exceeds −0.65 V (typ), reducing switching frequency from 560 kHz to ~104 kHz. This occurs during startup, short-circuit, or severe overload - extending off-time to limit average inductor current and prevent thermal runaway. The CS5174GD8G sustains this reduced frequency until NFB falls below −0.80 V, allowing safe recovery without latch-off. Unlike hiccup mode, it maintains regulation attempt, making CS5174GD8G suitable for intermittent fault environments like motor drive bias supplies.
Is CS5174GD8G pin-to-pin compatible with LT1373, and are there any design adjustments needed?
Yes, CS5174GD8G is explicitly documented as pin-to-pin compatible with LT1373 in SOIC-8 packaging. No PCB changes are required: all pins (VC, NFB, SS, VCC, AGND, PGND, VSW) map identically, and both share 560 kHz base frequency, −2.5 V NFB reference, and sync/shutdown functionality. However, CS5174GD8G has slightly lower switch current (1.5 A vs. 2.5 A) and 40 V VSW rating (vs. 45 V), so verify peak stress margins in high-VOUT flyback designs before drop-in replacement.
What is the recommended method to reduce the current limit below 1.5 A in CS5174GD8G?
To reduce CS5174GD8G's peak switch current below 1.5 A, connect an external clamp (e.g., Zener diode or resistor divider) between VC and AGND. Since VC voltage controls current limit via VC = ISW × 0.063 Ω × 5, clamping VC to 0.9 V sets ISW ≈ 1.1 A. The CS5174GD8G datasheet confirms this method in Section "Reducing the Current Limit", and recommends using a low-leakage Zener (e.g., BZX84-C3V3) to avoid loading the high-impedance VC node. This adjustment preserves all other CS5174GD8G functions without firmware or external sense resistors.
