Product details
Overview
AP2171DWG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-channel, active-high enable, high-side USB power switch with integrated output discharge, 1.5A current limiting, 90mΩ RDS(ON) (U-DFN2018-6), and 7ms FLG deglitch. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V input and delivers controlled turn-on (0.6ms typical rise time) for hot-swap protection in USB 2.0-compliant host ports.
For engineers reviewing the AP2171DWG-7 datasheet, AP2171DWG-7 pinout, AP2171DWG-7 application, or AP2171DWG-7 equivalent, this device is selected for precise current-limited power delivery, reverse-current blocking, UVLO-protected startup, and fault-flag reporting without external timing components.
Technical Context
The AP2171DWG-7 implements a thermally protected, slew-rate-controlled high-side NMOS switch with internal current-sense FET and UVLO circuitry. Its gate driver incorporates soft-start logic that limits dV/dt at the output to prevent inrush surges during hot-plug events.
It integrates a dedicated discharge path (100Ω internal NMOS) activated upon EN deassertion, enabling rapid VOUT collapse to 0.5V in ≤0.6ms with 1µF load. The open-drain FLG pin asserts low after 7ms blanking for over-current or thermal faults, eliminating false triggers from capacitive load transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Current Limit | 1.5A typical; clamps sustained load current to prevent damage under overload or short-circuit conditions |
| RDS(ON) | 90mΩ max (U-DFN2018-6 @ 25°C, VIN=5V); enables <100mW conduction loss at 1A |
| 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 interface with microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting or inversion logic |
| FLG Blanking Time | 7ms typical; suppresses transient over-current events (e.g., capacitor charging) without external RC networks |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA max; minimizes standby power draw in battery-backed or always-on USB port applications |
| Output Discharge Resistance | 100Ω typical; provides predictable RC-based discharge timing for safe load isolation |
Pinout & Package
AP2171DWG-7 is packaged in U-DFN2018-6 - a 2.0mm × 1.8mm, 0.5mm pitch, thermally enhanced leadless package with exposed pad for GND connection and improved θJA (70°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Voltage Input | Primary power rail input (2.7V–5.5V); all IN pins tied together externally |
| EN | Enable Control | Active-High digital control; drives internal gate driver when pulled ≥2V |
| GND | Ground Reference | Power and signal return; must be connected to PCB ground plane and exposed pad |
| FLG | Fault Reporting | Open-drain flag; pulls low during over-current or thermal fault after 7ms deglitch |
| OUT | Switched Output | High-side switched output; all OUT pins tied together externally to load |
| NC | No Connection | Not internally bonded; recommended to connect to OUT for EMI reduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Output Discharge | 100Ω internal NMOS path discharges output to <0.5V in ≤0.6ms (1µF load), eliminating floating voltages during disable |
| Reverse Current Blocking | Prevents backflow from VOUT to VIN when disabled, protecting upstream supplies from load-side battery leakage |
| UVLO Threshold | 1.9V typical turn-on / 1.6V turn-off; ensures switch remains off until stable input is established, critical for hot-insertion reliability |
| Thermal Shutdown Hysteresis | 140°C trip / 25°C recovery; prevents oscillation during sustained overload by enforcing 25°C cooling margin before auto-restart |
| ESD Robustness | 4kV HBM / 300V MM; withstands handling and system-level ESD events without latch-up or parameter shift |
Applications
| USB Host Port Protection | Laptop Docking Station Power Control |

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 | Integrated USB 2.0 hub controller with three downstream ports; includes built-in power switches but no output discharge or 7ms FLG blanking | Designed for multi-port hub ICs, not discrete single-channel switching; lacks independent FLG reporting per channel | Select when consolidating hub logic and power control; avoid when needing standalone, pin-defined fault isolation per port |
| TPS2051BDBVR | 1.5A single-channel high-side switch with 100mΩ RDS(ON), active-high EN, but no integrated output discharge or reverse-current blocking | Requires external diode for reverse-current protection and external RC network for FLG debouncing | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where discharge and reverse-blocking are handled externally; not suitable for space-constrained USB OTG or docking applications |
Compared with TUSB2036IRHBR and TPS2051BDBVR, AP2171DWG-7 uniquely combines output discharge, reverse-current blocking, and 7ms deglitched FLG in a 2.0×1.8mm U-DFN package-enabling compact, self-contained USB power gating without auxiliary components.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous load current supported by AP2171DWG-7?
The AP2171DWG-7 is rated for 1.0A maximum continuous load current per its Recommended Operating Conditions, despite a 1.5A current-limit threshold. This derating ensures thermal stability across ambient temperatures up to +85°C in the U-DFN2018-6 package, where θJA = 70°C/W and RDS(ON) rises with temperature. Sustained operation above 1A requires careful PCB thermal design and may trigger thermal shutdown.
Does AP2171DWG-7 require external components for basic USB power switching functionality?
No external components are required for core functionality: the 7ms FLG deglitch, output discharge path, UVLO, and current limiting are fully integrated. Only two ceramic bypass capacitors (0.1µF near IN-GND and 0.1µF near OUT-GND) are recommended per the datasheet to suppress transients-no external resistors, diodes, or timing capacitors are needed for standard USB 2.0 hot-swap operation.
How does the output discharge function behave during enable deassertion?
When EN is driven low, the internal 100Ω NMOS discharge switch activates between OUT and GND, collapsing VOUT to <0.5V within 0.6ms for a 1µF load. This discharge path remains active only while EN is inactive and is automatically disabled upon re-enable. It does not interfere with normal forward conduction and is independent of FLG status or fault conditions.
Can AP2171DWG-7 be used in dual-role USB ports (e.g., USB-C DRP) where power direction reverses?
No-AP2171DWG-7 is a unidirectional high-side switch optimized for fixed-source (host) applications. Its discharge function actively pulls OUT to GND when disabled, which would drain batteries in peripheral devices during host-mode disable. For dual-role ports, dedicated bidirectional switches or USB-C PD controllers with programmable VCONN/VBUS routing are required instead.
