Product details
Overview
AP2191AW-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-channel, active-high enable, high-side USB power switch with 2.1A current limiting, 95mΩ RDS(ON) at 5V, and integrated short-circuit/thermal protection. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V input and delivers controlled 0.6ms rise time for hot-swap compliance in USB 2.0 downstream ports.
For engineers reviewing the AP2191AW-7 datasheet, AP2191AW-7 pinout, AP2191AW-7 application, or AP2191AW-7 equivalent, this device supports precise over-current fault reporting via 7ms deglitched open-drain FLG, reverse current blocking, and UVLO (1.9V threshold), making it critical for reliable USB port power management in consumer and embedded systems.
Technical Context
The AP2191AW-7 integrates a low-RDS(ON) N-channel MOSFET with internal current-sense FET architecture-eliminating external sense resistors-and employs thermal shutdown at +140°C with +25°C hysteresis. Its deglitched FLG output uses internal timing to suppress false triggers during capacitive load inrush.
It implements undervoltage lockout (UVLO) that disables the switch below ~1.9V and enables clean hot-plug sequencing. The active-high EN pin directly interfaces with USB host controllers or microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting, and reverse current blocking prevents backfeed when VOUT > VIN.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Current Limit | 2.1A typical - clamps sustained overload to prevent damage while maintaining regulated output voltage |
| RDS(ON) | 95mΩ max at 5V, +25°C - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in SOT25 package |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports full USB 2.0 bus range and accommodates brown-out conditions |
| Rise Time | 0.6ms typical - soft-starts loads to limit inrush current in hot-swap applications |
| FLG Blanking Time | 7ms typical - suppresses transient over-current events (e.g., capacitor charging) without external RC |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA max - enables ultra-low-power standby in battery-backed or always-on USB hubs |
| UVLO Threshold | 1.9V typical - ensures switch remains off until stable USB supply is established |
Pinout & Package
AP2191AW-7 is supplied in the SOT25 (SOT-23-5) surface-mount package with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. All pins are electrically defined per Diodes DS37618 Rev. 2–2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for power and logic; must be connected to PCB ground plane |
| IN | Power input | Connects to USB VBUS (2.7–5.5V); all IN pins tied together externally |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high logic input; drives internal driver stage to turn on MOSFET when ≥2.0V |
| FLG | Fault indicator | Open-drain output pulled low during over-current or over-temperature; requires external pull-up |
| OUT | Switched output | Delivers current-limited power to downstream load; all OUT pins tied together externally |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reverse current blocking | Prevents backfeed from loaded OUT to IN during power removal or fault - eliminates need for external diode |
| Integrated deglitch timer | 7ms internal blanking on FLG avoids false fault reporting during normal 100µF–120µF output capacitor charge |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | +140°C trip with +25°C hysteresis enables safe auto-recovery in intermittent overload without latch-off |
| Low quiescent current | 70µA max enabled IQ allows use in always-on USB devices without significant standby drain |
| USB 2.0 compliance | Meets electrical and timing requirements for single-port downstream switching including rise/fall control and fault signaling |
Applications
| USB Host Port Protection | Self-Powered Hub Power Switching |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Desktop PC or monitor with dedicated USB downstream port requiring over-current protection and hot-plug robustness. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side power switch controlling VBUS delivery; enables/disables port power under host controller command with 0.6ms controlled ramp. Use Value: Prevents bus collapse during peripheral insertion and reports faults to USB controller via FLG, eliminating need for discrete current sensing and protection logic. |
Use Scenario: Standalone USB hub with local 5V supply powering four downstream ports, each requiring independent current limiting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-channel load switch per port; EN driven by hub controller to manage port enable/disable sequencing and isolate faulty peripherals. Use Value: Enables per-port current limiting (2.1A) and thermal protection without shared failure modes - improves system-level reliability and USB compliance. |
| Hot-Swap Module Interface | Dual-Function HDMI/MHL Charging Port |
|
Use Scenario: Industrial docking station accepting removable I/O modules while main system remains powered. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inrush current limiter and power sequencer; UVLO ensures switch stays off until module fully seated and VBUS stable. Use Value: Limits peak inrush to <1.5A during connection, protects main supply from transients, and provides FLG-based fault isolation for diagnostics. |
Use Scenario: Smart TV or set-top box with shared HDMI/MHL port delivering video and simultaneously charging smartphone battery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: VBUS gatekeeper ensuring VIN ramps before enabling OUT - prevents backfeed and ensures MHL link stability during charge negotiation. Use Value: Blocks reverse current from phone battery into TV's 5V rail and maintains clean USB enumeration sequence even during concurrent charging/video streaming. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP2181AW-7 | Active-low EN pin; identical current limit (2.1A), RDS(ON), and FLG behavior | Requires inverted enable signal from host controller; otherwise drop-in compatible in SOT25 layout | Select when system GPIO or USB controller outputs active-low enable signals |
| TCK112G,LF | 2.5A current limit; 65mΩ RDS(ON); 1.2ms rise time; no UVLO; different pinout (SOT-23-6) | Lacks UVLO and deglitch timing; requires external pull-up on FAULT; higher current rating suits heavier loads | Choose for higher current margin where UVLO and FLG blanking are handled elsewhere in system design |
Compared with AP2181AW-7, the AP2191AW-7 simplifies interface design with active-high EN, while TCK112G offers lower RDS(ON) and higher current but sacrifices integrated protection features - making AP2191AW-7 optimal for USB-compliant, space-constrained, and firmware-simple implementations.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous load current supported by AP2191AW-7?
The AP2191AW-7 is rated for 1.5A maximum continuous load current per Diodes' Recommended Operating Conditions. Although its current-limit threshold is 2.1A, sustained operation above 1.5A risks thermal saturation in the SOT25 package due to θJA = 157°C/W - derating is required above +40°C ambient.
Does AP2191AW-7 require external components for basic USB port protection?
No external components are required for core functionality: the 7ms FLG deglitch timer, UVLO, and current limiting are fully internal. However, Diodes recommends a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor between IN and GND, plus a 120μF electrolytic capacitor on OUT for heavy loads - both improve transient immunity and inrush control per DS37618 Section 9.
How does the FLG pin behave during a short-circuit event?
During a short circuit, FLG goes low after a nominal 7ms deglitch period and remains low until both over-current and over-temperature conditions clear. If thermal shutdown activates, FLG stays asserted until junction temperature falls ~25°C below +140°C. FLG is open-drain and requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ to 3.3V or 5V).
Can AP2191AW-7 be used in automotive USB applications?
AP2191AW-7 is specified for –40°C to +85°C ambient operation and meets USB 2.0 electrical requirements, but it is not AEC-Q200 qualified. For automotive infotainment or telematics USB ports, Diodes recommends verifying board-level thermal design and adding external TVS protection for ISO 7637-2 pulse suppression - the device itself lacks automotive-grade qualification or extended temperature range.
