Product details
Overview
CS5174GDR8G from onsemi is a 560 kHz current-mode boost regulator IC with integrated 1.5 A NPN power switch, −2.45 V negative feedback reference, and thermal shutdown. It operates from 2.7 V to 30 V input, supports flyback/SEPIC/inverting topologies, and regulates negative output voltages in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the CS5174GDR8G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-8 pin functions, negative-voltage regulation use cases, and two validated alternative parts for design flexibility.
Technical Context
The CS5174GDR8G implements current-mode control using an internal ramp derived from switch current, enabling immediate line response and inherent pulse-by-pulse current limiting. Its oscillator is trimmed to ±18% accuracy at 560 kHz base frequency, with frequency foldback triggered when NFB exceeds −0.65 V.
It integrates a transconductance negative error amplifier (160 μS typ) referenced to −2.45 V, with VC pin clamped between 0.5 V and 1.7 V for loop compensation and current limit adjustment. Shutdown is activated by TTL-low on SS pin, drawing ≤60 μA at 30 V VCC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Current Limit | 1.5 A guaranteed - sets maximum inductor peak current without external sensing |
| Operating Frequency | 560 kHz nominal - enables compact magnetics and low-profile output filters |
| NFB Reference Voltage | −2.45 V (typ) - defines regulated negative output voltage via external resistor divider |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 30 V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery-fed systems |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150 °C activation with 25 °C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during sustained overload |
| Shutdown Current | ≤60 μA at 30 V - minimizes standby power in battery-backed applications |
| Max VSW Rating | 40 V - determines minimum breakdown voltage of external flyback transformer or boost diode |
Pinout & Package
CS5174GDR8G is housed in an SOIC-8 (Case 751) package with exposed pad for thermal dissipation. Pin 1 is VC; Pin 8 is VSW. All pins are electrically validated per onsemi datasheet Rev. 23.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VC (Pin 1) | Loop compensation & current limit control | Output of negative error amplifier; clamped 0.5–1.7 V; RC network here sets stability and adjusts current limit |
| NFB (Pin 2) | Negative feedback input | Senses scaled negative output; −2.45 V reference; >−0.65 V triggers 5:1 frequency foldback |
| Test (Pin 3) | Internal test logic interface | Leave floating or tie to AGND; 2–6 V applied shuts down oscillator but not switch |
| SS (Pin 4) | Synchronization & shutdown | TTL-low disables switching and reduces ICC to ≤60 μA; sync range up to 1 MHz |
| VCC (Pin 5) | Power supply input | 2.7–30 V operation; requires local bypass capacitor to AGND |
| AGND (Pin 6) | Analog ground reference | Low-noise return for FB/NFB resistors and error amplifier; isolated from PGND |
| PGND (Pin 7) | Power ground return | Emitter connection for internal NPN switch; must connect to low-impedance ground plane |
| VSW (Pin 8) | Switch collector node | Connects to inductor/diode in boost or primary winding in flyback; withstands 40 V transient |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 frequency and −2.45 V NFB reference; higher 2.0 A switch rating | Supports higher output current up to 1.2 A; wider VCC range (2.7–40 V); no frequency foldback feature | Select when higher peak current headroom or extended input voltage is required; verify thermal margin with larger switch |
| TPS55340RTER | Non-pin-compatible; 1.5 A switch; adjustable frequency (100 kHz–2.2 MHz); requires external NPN for negative output | Enables programmable switching frequency and soft-start; negative output requires additional transistor and bias network | Select when design flexibility (frequency tuning, spread-spectrum) outweighs BOM simplicity; accept added layout complexity |
Compared with LT1373CS8#PBF and TPS55340RTER, CS5174GDR8G offers the lowest component count for fixed-frequency negative rail generation, with built-in foldback protection and guaranteed 1.5 A current limit in a single SOIC-8 package.

FAQ
What is the function of the NFB pin on the CS5174GDR8G?
The NFB pin on the CS5174GDR8G is the negative feedback input, internally referenced to −2.45 V. It senses a scaled version of the negative output voltage through an external resistor divider. When the voltage at NFB exceeds −0.65 V, the CS5174GDR8G reduces switching frequency to 20% of nominal to protect external components during overload or short-circuit conditions.
Can the CS5174GDR8G regulate both positive and negative output voltages?
No - the CS5174GDR8G is specifically configured for negative output regulation via its NFB pin and −2.45 V internal reference. The CS5171 and CS5173 variants use the FB pin for positive output regulation. Using CS5174GDR8G for positive outputs is not supported and will result in incorrect regulation or instability.
What is the maximum duty cycle of the CS5174GDR8G in boost configuration?
The CS5174GDR8G has a maximum duty cycle of 90% (typical) in boost topology, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value decreases with rising junction temperature and is limited by internal timing constraints. For reliable operation, design should maintain duty cycle below 85% to accommodate process variation and thermal derating.
How does the VC pin affect current limiting in the CS5174GDR8G?
The VC pin voltage directly controls the CS5174GDR8G's current limit threshold. The internal switch current is clamped when VC reaches ~1.7 V. Connecting an external clamp (e.g., Zener diode) between VC and AGND lowers this threshold, thereby reducing peak switch current below the nominal 1.5 A - a method documented in the datasheet for custom current limiting.
Is the CS5174GDR8G pin-compatible with the LT1372/1373 series?
Yes - the CS5174GDR8G is explicitly stated as pin-to-pin compatible with LT1372/1373 in the official onsemi datasheet. This includes identical SOIC-8 pinout, matching VCC, GND, FB/NFB, SS, and VSW connections. However, note that LT1372 operates at 280 kHz while CS5174GDR8G runs at 560 kHz, so timing-critical external components may require re-evaluation.
