Product details
Overview
AP2151DSG-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), and 7ms deglitched fault reporting - designed for USB 2.0-compliant hot-swap ports in laptops and docking stations.
For engineers reviewing the AP2151DSG-13 datasheet, AP2151DSG-13 pinout, AP2151DSG-13 application, or AP2151DSG-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include enable polarity compatibility, thermal shutdown threshold (140°C), output discharge resistance (100Ω), and SO-8 package thermal performance (θJA = 127°C/W).
Technical Context
The AP2151DSG-13 implements a controlled gate-drive architecture with slew-rate limiting to achieve 0.6ms typical rise time and suppress inrush current during hot-plug events. Its internal sense-FET current monitoring enables accurate 0.8A over-current protection without external sensing resistors.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO) at 1.9V (typ), reverse current blocking, and thermal shutdown with 25°C hysteresis. The open-drain FLG output asserts low after 7ms blanking time for both over-current and over-temperature faults, eliminating false triggering from capacitive load transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Current Limit | 0.8A typical - maintains safe power delivery under sustained overload without latch-off. |
| RDS(ON) | 90mΩ max (U-DFN2018-6), 115mΩ max (SO-8) - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating at 500mA load. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V–5.5V - supports full USB 2.0 bus voltage range including degraded 3.3V systems. |
| Enable Polarity | Active-high - simplifies direct interface with 3.3V/5V logic without level-shifting. |
| FLG Blanking Time | 7ms typical - suppresses false fault reports during capacitor charging transients. |
| Discharge Resistance | 100Ω - discharges 1µF output cap to <0.5V in ≤0.6ms, preventing backfeed during disable. |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA max - enables ultra-low-power standby in battery-backed USB peripherals. |
Pinout & Package
AP2151DSG-13 is packaged in SO-8 (lead-free, RoHS-compliant) with exposed pad thermally connected to GND. Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2/3 = IN (tied externally), Pin 4 = EN (active-high), Pin 5 = FLG (open-drain), Pin 6/7 = OUT (tied externally), Pin 8 = NC (recommended tied to OUT).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Power ground reference | Primary thermal and electrical return path; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane. |
| IN (Pins 2,3) | Input voltage supply | Dual pins reduce trace inductance and improve current sharing; both must be shorted externally. |
| EN (Pin 4) | Enable control input | Active-high logic interface; accepts 2.0V–5.5V valid high; 0–0.8V valid low. |
| FLG (Pin 5) | Fault reporting output | Open-drain, active-low signal indicating over-current or over-temperature; requires external pull-up. |
| OUT (Pins 6,7) | Switched output | Dual pins lower on-resistance and thermal impedance; both must be shorted externally to load. |
| NC (Pin 8) | No internal connection | Not bonded; recommended tied to OUT for mechanical stability and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Output Discharge Function | Internal 100Ω NMOS discharge path activated on disable - eliminates need for external bleed resistor. |
| Reverse Current Blocking | Automatic MOSFET body-diode override - prevents backfeed from loaded output to input rail when disabled. |
| UVLO with Hysteresis | 1.9V turn-on threshold with ~0.6V hysteresis - ensures clean power-up sequencing and prevents oscillation near brownout. |
| Thermal Protection | 140°C shutdown with 25°C hysteresis - enables safe auto-recovery cycling during sustained overload without latch-off. |
| ESD Robustness | 15kV IEC 61000-4-2 (system-level) - protects against real-world handling and connector insertion surges. |
Applications
| USB Hub Power Management | Laptop Docking Station Port |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Individual USB port power control in multi-port hubs with independent over-current protection per port. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side power switch enabling/disabling VBUS per port with 7ms-deglitched fault reporting.

Use Value: Enables fast port role reversal without residual voltage causing handshake failures or IC damage. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side USB power switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TUSB2036IPW | Integrated USB 2.0 hub controller + power switches; 3-port, no output discharge. | Requires full hub functionality; not a discrete switch replacement. | Select only when adding hub logic is required; not drop-in for AP2151DSG-13. |
| TPS2051BDBVR | Active-high enable, 0.5A limit, 120mΩ RDS(ON), no integrated discharge or 15kV ESD. | Lacks output discharge and system-level ESD rating - requires external RC network for safe hot-plug. | Use where cost sensitivity outweighs discharge requirement and ESD robustness is secondary. |
Compared with TUSB2036IPW and TPS2051BDBVR, AP2151DSG-13 uniquely combines active-high enable, 0.8A current limit, integrated 100Ω discharge, and 15kV IEC ESD protection in SO-8 - making it optimal for standalone USB port protection where minimal BOM count and robust field reliability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous load current supported by AP2151DSG-13?
The AP2151DSG-13 supports 500mA maximum continuous load current per its Recommended Operating Conditions. Although its current limit is 0.8A, sustained operation above 500mA requires thermal derating based on θJA = 127°C/W (SO-8) and ambient temperature - exceeding this risks thermal shutdown activation.
Does AP2151DSG-13 require external components for basic USB port protection?
No external components are required for core protection functions. The device integrates UVLO, 7ms FLG deglitch, 100Ω discharge, and reverse-current blocking. Only a 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor between IN and GND (near the package) and an external pull-up on FLG are recommended for reliable operation.
How does the output discharge function operate during disable?
When EN is de-asserted, an internal NMOS transistor connects OUT to GND through a 100Ω path. For a 1µF output capacitor, VOUT falls below 0.5V in ≤0.6ms. This prevents backfeed into upstream rails and satisfies USB BC 1.2 discharge timing requirements without external circuitry.
Can AP2151DSG-13 be used in automotive applications?
AP2151DSG-13 is specified for –40°C to +85°C ambient operation and qualified to JEDEC standards, but it lacks AEC-Q100 qualification, automotive-grade ESD (ISO 10605), or extended temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). It is intended for commercial/industrial USB applications, not under-hood automotive use.
