Product details
Overview
AP2155SG-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-channel, active-high enable, high-side power switch with reverse current blocking, 0.5A typical output current, 0.8A current limit, and operation from 2.7V to 5.5V - designed for USB port protection in 3V–5V hot-swap systems.
For engineers reviewing the AP2155SG-13 datasheet, AP2155SG-13 pinout, AP2155SG-13 application, or AP2155SG-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include enable polarity, reverse current blocking capability, 7ms deglitch on flag output, tight ±15% current-limit tolerance, and SO-8 green RoHS-compliant packaging.
Technical Context
The AP2155 integrates a P-channel MOSFET with internal gate driver, thermal shutdown, and foldback current limiting. Its active-high EN input directly interfaces with USB host controllers without level-shifting, and the open-drain FLG output asserts low after 7ms deglitch delay upon over-current detection.
Reverse current blocking prevents backfeed from powered loads into the supply rail during fault or power-down events. Under-voltage lockout disables the switch below 2.7V, while controlled rise time (typ. 1.2ms) limits inrush current into heavy capacitive loads up to 120µF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current (Typ) | 0.5A - supports standard USB downstream port load profiles without derating at 25°C ambient. |
| Current Limit Threshold | 0.8A ±15% - tightly regulated foldback limit minimizes PCB trace heating and eliminates need for external current-sense resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - covers full USB 2.0/3.0 VBUS range and accommodates brown-out conditions down to 2.7V. |
| Enable Polarity | Active High - simplifies direct connection to USB hub controller GPIOs without inverters or pull-down networks. |
| Flag Output Delay | 7ms deglitch - suppresses false over-current trips caused by transient inrush or load switching noise. |
| Reverse Current Blocking | Yes - blocks >99.9% of reverse current flow when disabled, protecting upstream power sources from backfeed. |
Pinout & Package
AP2155SG-13 is housed in a lead-free, halogen-free SO-8 package (5.0mm × 4.0mm × 1.5mm), thermally enhanced with exposed pad for improved power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Power Input | Connects to 2.7–5.5V supply rail; feeds internal P-MOSFET source. |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return path for control logic and thermal pad soldering. |
| EN | Enable Input | Active-high digital control; logic-high ≥2.0V enables switch, logic-low ≤0.8V disables. |
| OUT | Switched Output | Drives downstream load; features integrated reverse-blocking FET body diode elimination. |
| FLG | Open-Drain Fault Flag | Asserts low after 7ms deglitch on over-current, over-temperature, or short-circuit event. |
| NC (Pins 3 & 6) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reverse Current Blocking | Eliminates need for external blocking diode, reducing BOM count and forward voltage drop losses. |
| Tight Current-Limit Tolerance (±15%) | Enables consistent trip behavior across temperature and process variation, improving system-level reliability. |
| 7ms Deglitched Flag Output | Prevents false fault reporting during capacitor charging transients, avoiding unnecessary host controller resets. |
| Controlled Rise Time (1.2ms typ) | Limits inrush dv/dt into 120µF loads, preventing VBUS droop and meeting USB hot-swap specification requirements. |
| UL Recognized & IEC 60950-1 CB Certified | Validates safety compliance for end-product certification in consumer and industrial USB-powered equipment. |
Applications
| USB 2.0/3.0 Downstream Port | Industrial USB Hub Controller |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP2145SG-13 | Active-low enable; identical current limit, package, and protection features. | Requires inverted control signal; suitable where host GPIO is open-drain or pulled high by default. | Select when system control logic defaults to high-impedance or active-low drive architecture. |
| TUSB2036IRHBR | Integrated USB 2.0 hub + power switches; dual-channel, no reverse blocking, higher quiescent current. | Replaces discrete switch + hub IC; adds protocol handling but lacks reverse current isolation. | Choose only when full hub functionality is required - not a drop-in replacement for standalone power switching. |
Compared with AP2145SG-13, the AP2155SG-13 simplifies control interface via active-high enable, while TUSB2036IRHBR trades discrete protection for integrated hub logic - making AP2155 optimal for minimal-footprint, safety-certified USB port enablement without protocol overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the AP2155SG-13 can safely charge?
The AP2155SG-13 is characterized to drive up to 120µF capacitive loads with controlled 1.2ms rise time, ensuring VBUS droop remains within USB specification limits during hot-plug events. This value is verified per datasheet Figure 7 and applies under 25°C ambient with 5V input and 0.5A load.
Does the AP2155SG-13 require an external pull-up resistor on the FLG pin?
Yes - the FLG pin is open-drain and requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ to 3.3V or 5V) to generate a valid logic-high signal when no fault is present. The datasheet specifies minimum 3mA sink capability for low-state drive strength.
Can the AP2155SG-13 be used in automotive USB applications?
No - the AP2155SG-13 is qualified per industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and carries UL/IEC 60950-1 certification, not AEC-Q100. It lacks automotive-grade qualification, extended temperature testing, or PPAP documentation required for vehicle-mounted USB systems.
Is the SO-8 package of AP2155SG-13 thermally enhanced?
Yes - the SO-8 package includes an exposed thermal pad (EP) on the underside, which must be soldered to a PCB copper pour for effective heat dissipation. Thermal resistance θJA drops from 120°C/W (no EP solder) to 65°C/W with 1-inch² 2oz copper pad per datasheet Section 7.2.
