Product details
Overview
AP2191DSG-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-channel, active-high enable, high-side USB power switch with integrated current limiting (2.1A typ), 90mΩ RDS(ON) at 5V, and output discharge functionality. It operates from 2.7V–5.5V input, delivers controlled 0.6ms rise time, and provides overcurrent, thermal, UVLO, and reverse-current protection - deployed in USB 2.0-compliant hot-swap ports on laptops and docking stations.
For engineers reviewing the AP2191DSG-13 datasheet, AP2191DSG-13 pinout, AP2191DSG-13 application, or AP2191DSG-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include enable polarity (active-high), output discharge resistance (100Ω), FLG blanking time (7ms typ), and package-specific thermal resistance (70°C/W for U-DFN2018-6).
Technical Context
The AP2191DSG-13 implements a thermally protected high-side NMOS switch with slew-rate-controlled gate drive, enabling soft-start via 0.6ms typical output rise time. Its current-limiting architecture uses an internal sense FET to trigger ILIMIT (2.1A) without external resistors, maintaining constant current during overload while reducing VOUT.
It integrates deglitched open-drain FLG reporting (7ms blanking), undervoltage lockout (1.9V threshold), and reverse-current blocking activated by VOUT > VIN. The discharge function activates on EN deassertion, routing output capacitance through a dedicated 100Ω internal NMOS path to GND.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Current Limit | 2.1A typical - clamps sustained load current to prevent damage during short-circuit or overload. |
| RDS(ON) | 90mΩ max (U-DFN2018-6, 25°C, 5V IN) - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating at 1.5A continuous load. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V–5.5V - supports full USB 2.0 bus voltage range including low-voltage brownout conditions. |
| Enable Polarity | Active-high - simplifies interface with microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting or inversion logic. |
| FLG Blanking Time | 7ms typical - suppresses false fault reporting during inrush or capacitive load turn-on transients. |
| Discharge Resistance | 100Ω - enables predictable RC-based discharge of output capacitance when disabled (e.g., 120µF → <0.5V in ~0.6ms). |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA max - preserves system battery life in standby or suspend states. |
Pinout & Package
AP2191DSG-13 is packaged in U-DFN2018-6: 2.0mm × 1.8mm, 0.5mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (to be connected to GND plane).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Power ground reference and thermal sink connection point for exposed pad. |
| 2 | IN | Main input voltage supply (2.7V–5.5V); ties directly to upstream USB VBUS or DC source. |
| 3 | EN | Active-high enable control; logic high ≥2V enables switch, low ≤0.8V disables with discharge activation. |
| 4 | FLG | Open-drain fault flag; pulled low during overcurrent or overtemperature events (7ms deglitch applied). |
| 5, 6 | OUT | Switched output node; connects to downstream USB port, load capacitor, and ESD protection network. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Output Discharge | Internal 100Ω NMOS discharge path activated on EN deassertion - eliminates need for external bleed resistor and ensures safe hot-removal. |
| Reverse Current Blocking | Automatic blocking when VOUT > VIN - prevents backfeed from powered peripherals into host supply during disconnect or fault. |
| UVLO Protection | 1.9V turn-on threshold with hysteresis - guarantees switch remains off until stable input is established, critical for robust hot-plug sequencing. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 140°C trip with 25°C hysteresis - cycles output on/off to limit junction temperature without latch-off, enabling self-recovery after fault removal. |
| ESD Robustness | 4kV HBM / 300V MM - meets IEC 61000-4-2 system-level ESD requirements for USB-facing interfaces. |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Port Power Switching | Laptop Docking Station Load 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 + power switch; 1.5A per port; no output discharge; requires external FLG filtering. | Designed for multi-port hub ICs, not discrete load switching; lacks standalone discharge and reverse-blocking. | Select only when hub functionality is required alongside power control - not a drop-in replacement for discrete switching. |
| TPS2051BDBVR | 1.5A current limit; 120mΩ RDS(ON); active-low enable; 10ms FLG blanking; no integrated discharge. | Requires external discharge circuit; higher on-resistance increases conduction loss at 1.5A. | Prefer when legacy active-low control is mandated and thermal budget allows higher RDS(ON). |
Compared with TUSB2036IRHBR and TPS2051BDBVR, AP2191DSG-13 offers superior integration for discrete USB port control - combining active-high enable, 100Ω discharge, 90mΩ RDS(ON), and reverse-current blocking in a 2.0×1.8mm U-DFN package, reducing BOM count and PCB area.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous load current supported by AP2191DSG-13?
The AP2191DSG-13 is rated for 1.5A maximum continuous load current under recommended operating conditions (TA ≤ +85°C, proper PCB thermal layout). Its 2.1A current limit is a fault-clamping threshold, not a sustained rating - continuous operation above 1.5A risks thermal shutdown due to power dissipation in the 90mΩ RDS(ON).
Does AP2191DSG-13 require external components for basic USB port protection?
No external components are required for core protection functions: current limiting, thermal shutdown, UVLO, reverse-current blocking, and FLG reporting all operate autonomously. A 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor on IN–GND is recommended for noise suppression, and output bulk capacitance (≥120µF) is advised for stability under heavy loads - but neither is mandatory for basic operation.
How does the 7ms FLG blanking time improve system reliability?
The 7ms FLG blanking time prevents false fault assertions during normal inrush events - such as charging a 120µF output capacitor at turn-on - which would otherwise trigger unnecessary system interrupts or shutdowns. This eliminates the need for external RC filters on the FLG line while maintaining fast response to genuine overcurrent or thermal faults.
Can AP2191DSG-13 be used in USB-C applications?
AP2191DSG-13 is specified for USB 2.0 compliance and supports up to 5.5V input, making it suitable for USB-C downstream data ports (DFP) delivering 5V power. However, it is not designed for USB-C power delivery (PD) negotiation, variable voltage, or CC-line signaling - use only for fixed 5V VBUS switching where full PD protocol handling is managed externally.
