Product details
Overview
AP2151SG-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-channel, active-high enable, current-limited high-side power switch optimized for USB 2.0 hot-swap applications. It delivers 0.5A continuous load current with 95mΩ typical RDS(ON), 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 AP2151SG-13 datasheet, AP2151SG-13 pinout, AP2151SG-13 application, or AP2151SG-13 equivalent, this device supports precise current control in 2.7V–5.5V systems, features 7ms deglitched fault reporting, reverse current blocking, and operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient - critical for USB-compliant embedded power sequencing.
Technical Context
The AP2151SG-13 integrates a low-RDS(ON) N-channel MOSFET with current-sense FET architecture, enabling accurate 0.8A current limiting without external resistors. Its UVLO threshold is fixed at 1.9V (typ), and thermal shutdown activates at +140°C with +25°C hysteresis.
It implements controlled 0.6ms (typ) output rise time and 7ms deglitch on the FLG pin to suppress false over-current triggers from capacitive load transients. The SO-8 package provides 110°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under standard PCB layout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Current Limit | 0.8A typical - clamps output during overload to protect downstream circuitry and maintain USB bus integrity |
| RDS(ON) | 95mΩ typical at 5V, +25°C - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in 0.5A continuous operation |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports full USB 2.0 VBUS tolerance and battery-backed 3.3V systems |
| Enable Polarity | Active High - simplifies direct interface with USB controller GPIOs without level-shifting |
| FLG Blanking Time | 7ms typical - suppresses false fault reports from inrush or transient spikes without external RC networks |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA max - enables ultra-low-power standby in portable devices with disabled ports |
| Reverse Leakage | 1µA max at VIN = 0V, VOUT = 5V - blocks backfeed from powered peripherals into disabled upstream rails |
Pinout & Package
AP2151SG-13 is supplied in SO-8 package with exposed pad (EP), requiring external connection to GND plane for thermal management. Pin 8 (NC) must be tied to OUT externally per datasheet recommendation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal current sense and thermal sensor; must connect to PCB ground plane |
| IN (Pins 2,3) | Power input | Must be externally tied together; accepts 2.7–5.5V supply; bypassed by 0.1µF ceramic capacitor |
| EN (Pin 4) | Enable control | Active-High logic input; 0.8V max logic low threshold ensures noise immunity in noisy USB environments |
| FLG (Pin 5) | Fault indicator | Open-drain output pulled low after 7ms deglitch upon over-current or over-temperature event |
| OUT (Pins 6,7) | Switched output | Must be externally tied together; drives USB port load; requires 10–100µF bulk capacitance per application note |
| NC (Pin 8) | No internal connection | Not bonded; recommended to tie to OUT for mechanical stability and EMI reduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| USB 2.0 Compliance | Meets electrical timing, current-limit accuracy, and fault-reporting requirements for certified USB host/hub designs |
| Integrated Deglitch | 7ms blanking on FLG eliminates need for external RC filter - reduces BOM count and layout area |
| Reverse Current Blocking | Prevents backflow from powered peripherals (e.g., USB devices with local batteries) into disabled upstream rails |
| Thermal Hysteresis | +25°C hysteresis ensures stable cycling during sustained overload - avoids oscillation near trip point |
| Green Packaging | Halogen- and antimony-free, fully RoHS-compliant SO-8 package with no Br/Sb compounds (<900ppm Br, <1000ppm Sb) |
Applications
| USB Host Port Protection | Laptop Docking Station Power Switching |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Single-port USB 2.0 host on motherboard or add-in card supplying power to peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side power switch controlling VBUS delivery with inrush limiting and fault reporting.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side current-limited power switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TUSB2036VFR | 3-channel USB 2.0 hub IC with integrated power switches; 120mΩ RDS(ON); no standalone FLG deglitch | Designed for multi-port hub integration, not discrete single-channel switching | Select when consolidating hub logic + power control; avoid if only single-channel switching is needed |
| TPS2051BDBVR | TI part with 1.5A current limit, 110mΩ RDS(ON), 3.5ms FLG blanking, and wider 2.7–5.5V range | Higher current rating and different thermal shutdown threshold (+150°C) | Choose for higher load headroom; verify FLG timing compatibility with host controller interrupt latency |
Compared with TUSB2036VFR and TPS2051BDBVR, the AP2151SG-13 offers tighter current-limit accuracy (±25% vs ±30%), lower RDS(ON), and USB-optimized 7ms FLG deglitch - making it preferable for cost-sensitive, single-port designs requiring strict USB 2.0 compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous load current supported by AP2151SG-13?
The AP2151SG-13 is rated for 0.5A maximum continuous load current per the datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions. Although its current limit is 0.8A (typ), sustained operation above 0.5A risks thermal saturation in SO-8 packaging without enhanced heatsinking - especially above +60°C ambient. Derating curves confirm 0.5A as the validated continuous rating across –40°C to +85°C.
Can AP2151SG-13 be used in USB-C applications?
No - AP2151SG-13 is designed exclusively for USB 2.0 signaling and power delivery (5V, 500mA). It lacks USB-C-specific features such as CC logic, VCONN support, or programmable current limits up to 3A. Its 5.5V absolute max input rating and lack of PD communication capability make it incompatible with USB-C power negotiation protocols.
How does the FLG pin behave during thermal shutdown?
During thermal shutdown, the FLG pin goes low after the 7ms deglitch timeout and remains low until both over-temperature and over-current conditions are cleared. It does not pulse or toggle - the output stays asserted until junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~115°C) and load current drops below the trip threshold. No external pull-up is required beyond the standard 10kΩ to VCC.
Is the NC pin (Pin 8) in SO-8 electrically isolated?
Yes - Pin 8 is internally unconnected (NC) with no bond wire or die attachment. The datasheet explicitly states it should be tied externally to the OUT net for mechanical stability and reduced EMI. Leaving it floating may increase susceptibility to noise coupling or solder joint stress but poses no functional risk.
