Product details
Overview
AP2151FMG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-channel, active-high enable, current-limited high-side power switch optimized for USB 2.0-compliant hot-swap applications. It delivers 0.5A continuous load current with 90mΩ typical RDS(ON) (U-DFN2018-6 package), 0.8A accurate current limiting, and integrated short-circuit/thermal protection. Used in laptop USB ports and docking stations to manage inrush, prevent bus faults, and report over-current via open-drain FLG.
For engineers reviewing the AP2151FMG-7 datasheet, AP2151FMG-7 pinout, AP2151FMG-7 application, or AP2151FMG-7 equivalent, this page provides verified functional context, package-specific electrical behavior, thermal derating guidance, and real-world USB port implementation constraints - including UVLO threshold stability, 7ms FLG deglitch timing, and reverse current blocking capability.
Technical Context
The AP2151FMG-7 implements a thermally protected N-channel MOSFET high-side switch with internal current-sense FET architecture - eliminating external sense resistors while maintaining <±10% current-limit accuracy across -40°C to +85°C. Its UVLO circuit asserts at 1.9V (typ) and releases at 2.5V (max), ensuring clean turn-on during hot-insertion sequences.
It integrates a 7ms deglitch timer on the open-drain FLG output to suppress false fault reporting during capacitive load transients, and features active-high EN logic compatible with standard USB host controller GPIOs. The U-DFN2018-6 package provides 70°C/W θJA with exposed pad thermal connection to PCB ground plane.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Current Limit (Typ) | 0.8A - clamps sustained overload before thermal shutdown; supports 500mA continuous USB port loads with margin. |
| RDS(ON) (U-DFN) | 90mΩ @ 25°C - enables <0.225W dissipation at 500mA, critical for compact USB hub thermal design. |
| VIN Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - matches USB VBUS tolerance and supports legacy 3.3V auxiliary rails. |
| tR (Rise Time) | 0.6ms (typ) - controls inrush di/dt to limit peak surge current during hot-plug insertion. |
| FLG Blanking | 7ms (typ) - filters transient over-current events from bulk capacitor charging without external RC. |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA (max) - minimizes standby power loss in always-on USB host systems. |
| UVLO Threshold | 1.9V (typ) - prevents erratic switching during brown-out or partial power-up of USB host supplies. |
Pinout & Package
AP2151FMG-7 is housed in a 2.0mm × 1.8mm U-DFN2018-6 package with wettable flank leads and an exposed thermal pad (EP) that must be soldered to PCB GND for thermal performance. The EP is not an electrical ground path but reduces θJA to 70°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (FLG) | Open-drain fault flag | Active-low signal asserted after 7ms deglitch upon over-current or over-temperature; requires external pull-up. |
| 2 (EN) | Enable input | Active-high logic: drives high (>2V) to enable switch; pulled low to disable and block reverse current. |
| 3 (GND) | Power ground reference | Primary return path for internal current-sense circuitry and thermal sensor; connects to EP via PCB copper. |
| 4 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5V; all IN pins internally tied - external routing must minimize impedance to reduce noise coupling. |
| 5,6 (OUT) | Switched output | Dual-source terminals tied internally; connect directly to USB port VBUS line; supports reverse current blocking when disabled. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reverse current blocking | Prevents backfeed from powered downstream devices into host supply when EN = low - essential for USB OTG and dual-role ports. |
| Integrated 7ms deglitch | Eliminates need for external RC filter on FLG, reducing BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained USB modules. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at +140°C (TSHDN) and auto-recovers after +25°C cooldown - enables safe fault cycling without latch-up. |
| Low RDS(ON) in U-DFN2018-6 | 90mΩ max at 25°C enables 500mA operation in 3.6mm² footprint - ideal for ultra-thin laptops and dongles. |
| USB 2.0 compliance | Meets USB-IF electrical requirements for current limiting, rise time, and fault reporting latency - simplifies certification. |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TUSB2036IRHBR | 3-port USB 2.0 hub IC with integrated power switches; includes USB transceivers and serial EEPROM interface. | Designed for full hub functionality (repeater, transaction translator); not a discrete switch. | Select only if full hub logic + power control is required - adds complexity and cost versus standalone switch. |
| TPS2051BDBVR | 0.5A single-channel high-side switch with 110mΩ RDS(ON), 2.7–5.5V range, but no integrated FLG deglitch or reverse blocking. | Lacks 7ms blanking and reverse current blocking - requires external circuitry for robust USB fault handling. | Choose only for non-USB applications where FLG filtering and backfeed prevention are unnecessary. |
Compared with TUSB2036IRHBR and TPS2051BDBVR, the AP2151FMG-7 uniquely combines USB-optimized timing (0.6ms tR, 7ms FLG blanking), reverse current blocking, and U-DFN2018-6 thermal efficiency - making it the most direct fit for discrete, space-constrained, safety-certified USB port protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by AP2151FMG-7?
The AP2151FMG-7 is rated for 0.5A continuous load current per the Recommended Operating Conditions table. Although its current limit is 0.8A (typ), sustained operation above 0.5A requires careful thermal design due to RDS(ON) derating and θJA = 70°C/W in the U-DFN2018-6 package. At 0.5A and 25°C ambient, junction temperature rise is ~17.5°C - well within the +150°C absolute max.
Does AP2151FMG-7 support reverse current blocking when disabled?
Yes. When EN is low, the internal MOSFET is fully off and blocks reverse current flow from OUT to IN - a key requirement for USB On-The-Go (OTG) and dual-role ports. This is confirmed in the datasheet's "Reverse Current Blocking" feature and Electrical Characteristics table (IREV = 1µA max at VOUT = 5V, VIN = 0V).
How does the 7ms FLG deglitch function interact with USB inrush currents?
The 7ms deglitch window prevents FLG assertion during normal USB port capacitor charging transients (e.g., 10–100µF bulk caps). Only sustained over-current events exceeding 500mA for >7ms trigger FLG - matching USB-IF's definition of valid fault conditions and avoiding false interrupts during device enumeration.
Can AP2151FMG-7 be used in USB-C applications?
No. The AP2151FMG-7 is specified only for USB 2.0 applications and lacks support for USB-C's 3A/5A current levels, CC logic detection, or VCONN power. It may be used on legacy USB-A ports within a USB-C system, but not on the USB-C receptacle itself or for PD communication paths.
