Product details
Overview
AP2151WG-7 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. Its 0.6ms typical rise time and 7ms deglitch-enabled FLG output support reliable fault reporting in consumer electronics and computing peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the AP2151WG-7 datasheet, AP2151WG-7 pinout, AP2151WG-7 application, or AP2151WG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include enable polarity (active-high), SO-8/SOT25/MSOP-8EP/U-DFN2018-6 package options, UVLO threshold (1.9V typ), reverse current blocking capability, and thermal shutdown at +140°C with +25°C hysteresis.
Technical Context
The AP2151WG-7 implements a monolithic N-channel MOSFET high-side switch with integrated current-sense FET, thermal sensing circuitry, and UVLO comparator. Its current-limiting function operates via internal sensing without external resistors, clamping output current to 0.8A (typ) under overload while maintaining regulated voltage droop.
It features an open-drain FLG output with 7ms blanking time to suppress false over-current triggers from capacitive inrush, and supports reverse current blocking when disabled - critical for USB VBUS isolation. The device remains fully functional across –40°C to +85°C ambient and shuts down thermally at +140°C with automatic recovery after +25°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Current Limit | 0.8A typical - ensures safe operation under sustained overload without external components |
| RDS(ON) | 95mΩ @ 5V, +25°C - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in compact SOT25 package |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - compatible with USB 2.0 VBUS and wide-input industrial rails |
| Enable Polarity | Active-high - simplifies direct interface with microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting |
| FLG Blanking Time | 7ms typical - eliminates false fault reporting during capacitor charging transients |
| UVLO Threshold | 1.9V typical - prevents erratic switching during brown-out or hot-plug insertion |
| Thermal Shutdown | +140°C with +25°C hysteresis - enables self-recovering fault handling in sustained shorts |
Pinout & Package
AP2151WG-7 is supplied in SOT25 (5-pin, 2.9mm × 1.6mm) package with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 = OUT, Pin 2 = FLG, Pin 3 = EN, Pin 4 = GND, Pin 5 = IN. All pins are surface-mount compatible and require GND-connected thermal pad per Diodes' layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 5) | Power Input | Primary supply input; must be decoupled with 0.1μF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable Control | Active-high logic input; drives internal gate driver when ≥2V (VIH min) |
| GND (Pin 4) | Reference Ground | System ground return path; connects to thermal pad for improved θJA |
| FLG (Pin 2) | Fault Indicator | Open-drain output pulled low during over-current or over-temperature events after 7ms blanking |
| OUT (Pin 1) | Switched Output | High-side switched VBUS output; supports reverse current blocking when disabled |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Current Limiting | 0.8A accuracy ±20% - eliminates need for external sense resistor and reduces BOM count |
| Controlled Rise Time | 0.6ms typical - limits inrush current to <500mA during hot-plug, easing system capacitance design |
| Reverse Current Blocking | Enabled when disabled - prevents backfeed from output to input, essential for USB VBUS isolation |
| Low Shutdown Current | 1µA max - preserves battery life in always-on USB peripheral ports |
| ESD Robustness | 4kV HBM, 15kV IEC 61000-4-2 (with external cap) - meets USB system-level ESD requirements |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP2141WG-7 | Identical specs except active-low EN pin | Requires inverted control signal; not drop-in for active-high MCU GPIO | Select when host logic uses active-low enable or pull-down default state |
| TPS2051BDBVR | 0.5A limit, 110mΩ RDS(ON), no reverse blocking, 3.3–5.5V range | Lacks reverse current blocking and has higher on-resistance; requires external UVLO | Choose only if reverse blocking is unnecessary and board space allows additional UVLO circuitry |
Compared with AP2141WG-7, the AP2151WG-7 simplifies control interface with active-high EN; compared with TPS2051BDBVR, it adds reverse blocking and tighter current limit accuracy - both critical for USB-compliant VBUS management.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current rating for AP2151WG-7?
The AP2151WG-7 is rated for 0.5A maximum continuous load current per its Recommended Operating Conditions table. Although its current-limit threshold is 0.8A (typ), sustained operation above 0.5A risks thermal saturation in the SOT25 package unless PCB thermal design exceeds minimum pad recommendations - especially at ambient temperatures >60°C.
Does AP2151WG-7 support reverse current blocking when disabled?
Yes. When the EN pin is low, the internal MOSFET is fully off and blocks reverse current flow from OUT to IN, with reverse leakage specified at ≤1µA at VIN = 0V and VOUT = 5V. This feature is essential for USB VBUS isolation and prevents backfeed into upstream power sources during cable disconnection or port disable.
How does the 7ms FLG deglitch function prevent false fault reporting?
The FLG output remains inactive for 7ms (typ) after an over-current event begins, allowing transient inrush currents - such as those from 22µF output capacitors - to settle before asserting the fault. This eliminates spurious interrupts during normal hot-plug events and removes the need for external RC filtering, reducing design complexity and component count.
Can AP2151WG-7 be used in dual-purpose ports like USB-C with simultaneous data and charging?
No. Diodes' datasheet explicitly states the AP2151WG-7 is not recommended for dual-purpose ports (e.g., shared HDMI/MHL or USB-C Alternate Mode) where voltage may remain present on the OUT pin while VIN is ramping. This condition can overstress the internal MOSFET due to body diode conduction and uncontrolled gate drive, risking premature failure.
