Product details
Overview
CS8371ET7G from onsemi is an automotive-grade dual-output linear regulator delivering 8.0 V ±5% at 1.0 A and 5.0 V ±5% at 250 mA, with independent ENABLE1/ENABLE2 controls, NOCAP output stability (no external capacitor required for VOUT1), and 45 V load dump transient tolerance. It serves as primary power management for infotainment subsystems requiring isolated rail control.
For engineers reviewing the CS8371ET7G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include independent enable logic, NOCAP architecture for space-constrained PCBs, thermal shutdown at 150°C, and TO-220-7 package compatibility with heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
The CS8371ET7G integrates two independent LDO regulators sharing a common VCC input and GND reference. The 8.0 V channel uses a NOCAP output stage with internal compensation and a dedicated Sense pin for remote feedback, while the 5.0 V channel employs a Darlington NPN output structure inherently stable with any capacitive load.
Protection circuitry includes overvoltage shutdown (24–30 V threshold), thermal shutdown with 30°C hysteresis, short-circuit current limiting (1.1–2.5 A for VOUT1; 270–600 mA for VOUT2), and ESD robustness (±2.0 kV HBM). Sleep mode draws <10 µA when both ENABLE inputs are low.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output 1 Voltage | 8.0 V ±5% (7.6–8.4 V); regulated rail for display backlight drivers and tape motor controllers |
| Output 2 Voltage | 5.0 V ±5% (4.75–5.25 V); stable supply for tuner ICs and non-volatile memory |
| Output 1 Current | 1.0 A max; supports high-current analog front-ends without external boost stages |
| Output 2 Current | 250 mA max; sufficient for digital baseband and microcontroller peripherals |
| Dropout Voltage (VOUT1) | 1.5 V at 1.0 A; enables operation down to 9.5 V input in cold-crank automotive conditions |
| Transient Tolerance | +45 V peak (31 V load dump @ 14 V VCC); meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a requirements |
| Sleep Current | <10 µA with both ENABLE pins low; minimizes battery drain during vehicle off-state |
Pinout & Package
The CS8371ET7G is housed in a 7-lead TO-220 package (Case 821E) with copper tab electrically connected to GND and thermally optimized for heatsink attachment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - ENABLE1 | CMOS-compatible enable input for 8.0 V regulator | Active-high logic (2.0–5.0 V high); enables/disables VOUT1 independently of VOUT2 |
| 2 - ENABLE2 | CMOS-compatible enable input for 5.0 V regulator | Active-high logic (2.0–5.0 V high); enables/disables VOUT2 without affecting VOUT1 |
| 3 - VOUT2 | Regulated 5.0 V output terminal | Delivers up to 250 mA; Darlington output ensures unconditional stability with zero or any capacitive load |
| 4 - GND | Common ground reference | Shared return path for both regulators and thermal tab connection point |
| 5 - Sense | Remote feedback input for 8.0 V regulator | Compensates for PCB trace IR drop; improves regulation accuracy at point-of-load |
| 6 - VCC | Main unregulated input supply | Accepts 10.5–26 V DC; withstands 45 V transients; powers both regulator channels |
| 7 - VOUT1 | Regulated 8.0 V output terminal | Delivers up to 1.0 A; NOCAP architecture eliminates need for external output capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent dual-enable control | Enables selective power sequencing-e.g., keep 5.0 V active for memory retention while disabling 8.0 V for display during standby |
| NOCAP output stage (VOUT1) | Eliminates mandatory 10–100 µF output capacitor, reducing BOM count and PCB area in space-limited automotive modules |
| Dedicated Sense pin | Supports Kelvin sensing for ±1% output voltage accuracy under dynamic load conditions across long PCB traces |
| Automotive transient immunity | Withstands +45 V load dump pulses per ISO 7637-2, enabling direct battery connection without external TVS clamping |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at 150°C junction temperature and re-enables only after cooling to 120°C, preventing thermal oscillation during overload |
Applications
| Automotive Radio Power Supply | Infotainment Display Subsystem |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Dual-rail power delivery in OEM car radios where 8.0 V drives mechanical tape transport motors and vacuum fluorescent displays, while 5.0 V supplies tuner ICs and EEPROM. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary dual-output LDO regulator providing isolated, sequenced, and transient-hardened DC rails. Use Value: Independent ENABLE pins allow sleep-mode optimization (e.g., disable 8.0 V motor rail while retaining 5.0 V for station memory), reducing quiescent current to <10 µA. | Use Scenario: Powering segmented LCD backlight drivers and touch controller in center-stack displays. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Regulator supplying stable 8.0 V for LED driver bias and 5.0 V for I²C interface logic.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Automotive-grade dual LDO delivering fault-tolerant, transient-immune rails for mixed-signal actuator control.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV70733PDPWR | Single 3.3 V output, 300 mA, no NOCAP, no Sense pin, SOT-23-5 package | Lacks dual-rail capability and automotive transient rating; suitable only for low-power consumer subsystems | Select only if application requires only one regulated rail and operates below 20 V input. |
| TPS7B8133QDGNRQ1 | Single 3.3 V output, 150 mA, AEC-Q100 qualified, 40 V transient tolerance, MSOP-8 | No second output; lower current capacity; lacks independent enable and Sense functionality | Choose when single-rail, high-reliability automotive compliance is sufficient and board space is constrained. |
Compared with TLV70733PDPWR and TPS7B8133QDGNRQ1, the CS8371ET7G uniquely delivers two independently enabled, high-current, automotive-transient-hardened outputs in a single TO-220 package-with NOCAP and Sense features that reduce component count and improve point-of-load regulation accuracy.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the CS8371ET7G can withstand during load dump events?
The CS8371ET7G is rated for +45 V peak transient voltage under load dump conditions (per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a), making it suitable for direct connection to automotive battery rails without external TVS diodes. This rating applies to transients occurring at nominal VCC = 14 V, and the device remains functional after exposure without latch-up or parametric shift.
Does the CS8371ET7G require external output capacitors for stability?
The CS8371ET7G's 8.0 V output (VOUT1) uses NOCAP technology and is stable without any external output capacitor. The 5.0 V output (VOUT2) employs a Darlington NPN structure and is also inherently stable with zero, small, or large capacitive loads-no minimum ESR or capacitance is mandated for either rail.
How does the Sense pin (Pin 5) improve regulation accuracy in the CS8371ET7G?
The Sense pin on the CS8371ET7G provides remote feedback for the 8.0 V regulator, allowing the IC to monitor voltage directly at the load instead of at the VOUT1 pin. This compensates for IR drop across PCB traces or connectors, maintaining ±5% output accuracy even with 100 mΩ series resistance between VOUT1 and the load.
What thermal protection mechanisms are built into the CS8371ET7G?
The CS8371ET7G incorporates thermal shutdown that activates at 150°C junction temperature and includes 30°C hysteresis-re-enabling only after die temperature falls to ~120°C. This prevents cycling during sustained overload and is guaranteed by design, not characterized statistically. Junction temperature is monitored continuously and overrides all other functions when exceeded.
Can both outputs of the CS8371ET7G be enabled simultaneously, and what is the total quiescent current in that state?
Yes, both ENABLE1 and ENABLE2 can be asserted high simultaneously to activate both outputs. Under full-load conditions (IOUT1 = 1.0 A, IOUT2 = 250 mA, VCC = 14 V), the CS8371ET7G draws ≤30 mA total quiescent current. In sleep mode (both ENABLE pins low), quiescent current drops to ≤10 µA-critical for vehicle-off battery conservation.
