Product details
Overview
AP2151DMPG-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-channel, active-high enable, high-side USB power switch with integrated output discharge, 0.8A current limiting, 90mΩ RDS(ON) (U-DFN2018-6), and 7ms FLG deglitch - designed for USB 2.0 hot-swap applications in laptops, docking stations, and HUBs.
For engineers reviewing the AP2151DMPG-13 datasheet, AP2151DMPG-13 pinout, AP2151DMPG-13 application, or AP2151DMPG-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include enable polarity compatibility, thermal shutdown threshold (140°C), output discharge resistance (100Ω), and SO-8/U-DFN2018-6 package thermal performance (θJA = 70°C/W).
Technical Context
The AP2151D implements a controlled gate driver with slew-rate limiting to achieve 0.6ms typical rise time and suppress inrush current during hot-plug events. Its UVLO circuit (1.9V typ) ensures the switch remains off until input voltage stabilizes above safe operating threshold.
Over-current protection uses an internal sense FET - not external shunt - enabling accurate 0.8A current limiting without added series resistance. Fault reporting via open-drain FLG includes 7ms blanking to reject transient overloads, and thermal shutdown activates at 140°C with 25°C hysteresis for stable cycling under sustained fault.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Current Limit | 0.8A typical - clamps output current during overload to protect downstream circuitry without latch-off |
| RDS(ON) | 90mΩ max (U-DFN2018-6, VIN = 5V) - enables low conduction loss and <100mW dissipation at 0.5A |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V–5.5V - supports full USB 2.0 bus range and 3.3V/5V system rails |
| Enable Polarity | Active-high - simplifies interface with microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting or inversion logic |
| FLG Blanking Time | 7ms typical - prevents false fault reporting during capacitive load turn-on transients |
| Discharge Resistance | 100Ω - provides controlled output discharge path when disabled, reducing residual voltage on load caps |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA max - minimizes standby power draw in battery-powered portable systems |
Pinout & Package
AP2151DMPG-13 is packaged in U-DFN2018-6: 2.0mm × 1.8mm, 0.5mm pitch, exposed thermal pad internally connected to GND. Requires external connection of exposed pad to PCB ground plane with ≥4 thermal vias for θJA = 70°C/W performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for power and signal; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal management |
| IN | Power input | Accepts 2.7V–5.5V supply; all IN pins (in multi-pin packages) must be tied together externally |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high digital input; drives internal gate driver when pulled ≥2.0V (VIH min) |
| FLG | Fault indicator | Open-drain output asserted low during over-current or over-temperature; 7ms deglitch prevents chatter |
| OUT | Switched output | Delivers regulated power to load; all OUT pins must be tied together externally; includes internal discharge path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Output discharge function | 100Ω internal NMOS discharge path activated on disable - eliminates need for external bleed resistors |
| Reverse current blocking | Prevents backflow from output to input when VOUT > VIN - protects upstream supplies during hot-removal |
| Controlled rise/fall time | 0.6ms rise / 0.05ms fall (CL = 1µF, RL = 10Ω) - limits inrush while maintaining fast turn-off for fault response |
| UVLO with hysteresis | 1.9V turn-on / ~1.6V turn-off - ensures clean power sequencing and prevents oscillation near brown-out thresholds |
| ESD robustness | 15kV IEC 61000-4-2 (with external capacitance), 4kV HBM - withstands handling and system-level ESD events |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Port Power Switching | Laptop Docking Station Load Control |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Hot-plugging peripherals into powered USB ports without causing bus reset or host controller fault. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side power switch controlling VBUS delivery with controlled ramp-up and short-circuit protection. Use Value: Prevents inrush-induced voltage droop on shared 5V rail and avoids false over-current trips via 7ms FLG deglitch. |
Use Scenario: Isolating auxiliary power domains (e.g., HDMI, Ethernet, USB-C PD) in laptop docking stations during insertion/removal. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-channel load switch enabling soft-start and reverse-current blocking between host and peripheral subsystems. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete MOSFET + gate driver + RC timing network - reduces BOM count and layout area by >40%. |
| Desktop PC Front-Panel USB Hub | Smartphone Charging Circuit Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Providing isolated, protected 5V power to front-panel USB ports on desktop motherboards with shared PSU rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Current-limited high-side switch with thermal foldback and UVLO ensuring safe operation under cable short or connector debris faults. Use Value: Maintains system stability during repeated hot-plug cycles - no firmware intervention required for fault recovery. |
Use Scenario: Protecting USB OTG or accessory charging paths in smartphones against reverse current and shorted cables. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active-high load switch placed between PMIC VBUS and accessory port, enabling/disabling power per USB enumeration state. Use Value: Blocks reverse current from accessory battery into phone's PMIC during disconnection - extends battery life and prevents leakage. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side USB load switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TUSB2036IPWR | Integrated USB 2.0 hub controller with built-in power switches - not a standalone load switch; requires configuration registers and clock source | Designed for multi-port hub IC implementation, not single-channel isolation | Select only if adding full USB hub functionality; not drop-in for AP2151DMPG-13's discrete switching role |
| TPS22965DSGR | 0.8A limit, 44mΩ RDS(ON), active-high EN, but no integrated output discharge or 7ms FLG deglitch | Lacks discharge function - requires external resistor/capacitor for VOUT bleed-down | Choose when lowest on-resistance is critical and discharge can be implemented externally; verify FLG noise immunity in target layout |
Compared with TUSB2036IPWR and TPS22965DSGR, AP2151DMPG-13 uniquely combines active-high enable, integrated discharge, and factory-trimmed 7ms fault blanking - eliminating external components while meeting USB 2.0 hot-swap timing and safety requirements out-of-box.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous load current supported by AP2151DMPG-13?
The AP2151DMPG-13 supports 0.5A maximum continuous load current per the Recommended Operating Conditions table. Although its current limit is 0.8A, sustained operation above 0.5A risks thermal shutdown due to power dissipation in the U-DFN2018-6 package - especially above 60°C ambient. Derating curves in the datasheet confirm 0.5A as the safe continuous rating at +85°C.
Does AP2151DMPG-13 require external components for basic USB 2.0 operation?
No external components are required for core USB 2.0 hot-swap operation. The device integrates UVLO, current limiting, thermal shutdown, FLG deglitch, and output discharge. A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between IN and GND is recommended for input stability, and a 120µF output capacitor is advised for low-temperature short-circuit robustness - but neither is mandatory for functional enable/disable behavior.
How does the FLG pin behave during simultaneous over-current and over-temperature events?
The FLG pin goes low when either over-current or over-temperature is detected and remains low until both fault conditions are cleared. There is no priority or masking - the flag asserts on first fault and de-asserts only after both current returns below trip threshold and junction temperature falls below 115°C (140°C – 25°C hysteresis). Recovery is automatic with no reset pin required.
Can AP2151DMPG-13 be used in automotive infotainment USB ports?
AP2151DMPG-13 is not AEC-Q200 qualified and operates only from –40°C to +85°C ambient - insufficient for under-hood automotive environments. While it meets USB 2.0 electrical specs, its lack of automotive-grade qualification, extended temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), and absence of PPAP documentation make it unsuitable for production automotive infotainment systems per OEM requirements.
