Product details
Overview
AP22654QWU-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-channel AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified high-side precision adjustable current-limit power switch in TSOT26 (Type A1) package, delivering up to 3.1A continuous load current with ±12% current-limit accuracy at 1.0A (RLIM = 6.8kΩ), 5µs typical short-circuit response time, and integrated reverse-current blocking, overtemperature, UVLO, and fault reporting - deployed in automotive ECU supply rail switching and USB hot-swap protection.
For engineers reviewing the AP22654QWU-7 datasheet, AP22654QWU-7 pinout, AP22654QWU-7 application, or AP22654QWU-7 equivalent, this device supports precision current-limit programming (0.4–3.56A via ILIM resistor), active-low enable logic, 1ms typical soft-start rise time, and 7ms deglitched FAULT output - critical for robust automotive power distribution and USB-compliant hot-plug systems.
Technical Context
The AP22654QWU-7 integrates a controlled-gate high-side MOSFET driver with slew-rate limiting, thermal shutdown at +155°C (35°C hysteresis), and reverse-voltage comparator trip at 65mV (VOUT – VIN). Its current-limit architecture uses an internal sense FET and external ILIM resistor to set threshold without series resistance penalty.
It implements dual-stage fault handling: immediate current clamping during overcurrent/short-circuit (5µs response), followed by FAULT assertion with 7ms deglitch; reverse-current limiting activates at 150mV differential and clamps IROCP to 0.32A typ; discharge function engages via 500Ω internal path when disabled or under UVLO.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Continuous Load Current | 3.1A at TJ ≤ +85°C - supports heavy USB loads and automotive ECUs without external heatsinking |
| Adjustable Current Limit Range | 0.4A to 3.56A (typ) - set via 1.91kΩ–16.9kΩ ILIM resistor; enables precise system-level current budgeting |
| Current-Limit Accuracy | ±12% at 1.0A (RLIM = 6.8kΩ) - ensures predictable OCP behavior across process/temp variations |
| Short-Circuit Response Time | 5µs (typ) - limits energy dissipation during fault events, preserving downstream components |
| RDS(ON) | 50–75 mΩ (typ, TA = +25°C) - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating at full load |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.25V (rising), 2.65V (falling) - prevents erratic operation during brown-out or hot-insertion |
| FAULT Blanking Time | 2–20 ms - suppresses false triggers from transient surges while retaining fast fault detection |
Pinout & Package
TSOT26 (Type A1) package: 6-pin, 1.6mm × 2.9mm × 0.8mm body, exposed thermal pad connected to GND externally for improved power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 6) | Power input | Accepts 3.0–5.5V supply; requires ≥10µF bulk + 0.1µF ceramic bypass near IC for stability |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Primary ground return; must connect to external PCB ground plane and exposed pad |
| EN (Pin 4) | Enable control | Active-low logic input - low = ON; high = OFF; leakage < ±2µA ensures low-power disable state |
| FAULT (Pin 3) | Fault indicator | Open-drain active-low output asserted during overcurrent, overtemperature, or reverse-voltage faults |
| ILIM (Pin 5) | Current-limit programming | Sinks current to set threshold; ILIM = 6800/RLIM(kΩ) mA - determines trip point with ±12% tolerance |
| OUT (Pin 1) | Switched output | Drives load; includes reverse-current blocking and internal discharge path (500Ω) when disabled |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for -40°C to +125°C ambient operation - meets automotive reliability and change-control requirements |
| Reverse-current blocking & limiting | Blocks reverse flow when disabled; limits reverse current to 0.32A typ during enable if VOUT > VIN |
| Built-in soft-start | 1.0ms typical output rise time - eliminates inrush current into large capacitive loads (e.g., 120µF USB) |
| Integrated discharge function | 500Ω internal discharge path - safely drains output capacitance on disable/UVLO, preventing floating rails |
| IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection | 15kV contact discharge (with external capacitance) - enhances robustness in noisy automotive environments |
Applications
| Automotive ECU Power Distribution | USB 2.0/3.0 Hot-Swap Port Protection |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side adjustable current-limit switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP22655QWU-7 | Identical specs except active-high EN pin; same ILIM programming, RDS(ON), FAULT behavior, and protection features | Requires inverted enable logic in system firmware/hardware; no change to current-limiting or fault-handling design | Select when host MCU GPIO drives EN high to activate - avoids external inverter needed for AP22654QWU-7 |
| TCK127G,LF | Lower max current (2.5A), wider ILIM range (0.2–4.0A), ±15% accuracy, no reverse-current limiting, 10µs OCP response | Lacks ROCP and reverse-voltage protection; not AEC-Q100 qualified; intended for consumer-grade USB ports | Use only in non-automotive, cost-sensitive designs where reverse-current blocking is handled externally |
Compared with AP22654QWU-7, AP22655QWU-7 offers identical protection and current-setting but simplifies enable interface, while TCK127G,LF trades automotive qualification and reverse-current safety for broader ILIM range and lower cost - making AP22654QWU-7 optimal for AEC-compliant systems demanding full fault coverage.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended ILIM resistor value and why?
The minimum recommended ILIM resistor is 1.91kΩ, which sets the highest current-limit threshold of 3.56A (typ). Using a lower resistance risks exceeding the device's safe operating area, increasing junction temperature beyond +155°C thermal shutdown threshold and potentially triggering premature shutdown during sustained 3.1A loads. This value also ensures sufficient margin against RLIM tolerance and temperature drift.
How does the FAULT pin behave during a short-circuit event?
During a short-circuit, the FAULT pin asserts low within 5µs (typ) after overcurrent detection, remains asserted for ≥7ms (deglitch blanking time), and deasserts only after current drops below the hysteresis threshold and the blanking timer expires. It stays low during thermal shutdown and reverse-voltage faults, providing unambiguous system-level fault indication without external timing components.
Can AP22654QWU-7 be used without the ILIM resistor?
No - the ILIM pin must be connected to a resistor between 1.91kΩ and 16.9kΩ to define the current-limit threshold. Leaving ILIM floating disables current limiting entirely, causing the device to operate as an unprotected switch vulnerable to catastrophic failure during overload. The internal current-sense circuit requires the external resistor to establish the reference for clamping.
What is the role of the exposed thermal pad in the TSOT26 package?
The exposed thermal pad is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a dedicated PCB copper pour tied to the system ground plane. It reduces RθJA from 89°C/W to ~50°C/W in typical layouts, enabling reliable 3.1A operation at +85°C ambient. It is not intended as a primary current-carrying path - its sole purpose is thermal dissipation and mechanical stability.
