Product details
Overview
AP22818AKAWT-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 2.0A single-channel high-side load switch optimized for USB and hot-swap applications, featuring 75mΩ RDS(ON), 2.7V–5.5V input range, integrated output discharge, reverse-current blocking, and active-low enable logic in a TSOT25 package. It delivers controlled power sequencing in ultrabooks and SSDs with fast short-circuit response and 6ms deglitch on the FLG pin.
For engineers reviewing the AP22818AKAWT-7 datasheet, AP22818AKAWT-7 pinout, AP22818AKAWT-7 application, or AP22818AKAWT-7 equivalent, this device supports precise current-limited power distribution where overcurrent auto-recovery, thermal shutdown at +150°C, and reverse-voltage protection down to 35mV trip point are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
The AP22818AKAWT-7 integrates an N-channel MOSFET with current-sense FET architecture for accurate overcurrent detection without external resistors, enabling ILIMIT = 2.2–3.2A (typ. 2.7A) at VIN = 5V and VOUT = 4.5V. Its UVLO threshold is 2.3V (rising) with 180mV hysteresis, ensuring reliable turn-on only after stable rail establishment.
Thermal protection uses die-temperature sensing with +150°C shutdown and +40°C hysteresis, cycling until fault removal. The FLG pin provides open-drain fault reporting with 6ms blanking time, suppressing false triggers during capacitive inrush - no external RC filtering required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Continuous Output Current | 2.0A max - supports high-capacitance USB loads (e.g., 120μF SSD rails) without derating at TA ≤ +85°C |
| RDS(ON) | 75mΩ typ. @ VIN=5V, IOUT=1A - minimizes conduction loss (≤75mW at 1A), enabling compact thermal design in TSOT25 |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - compatible with 3.3V and 5V system rails, including USB 2.0/3.0 VBUS |
| Enable Logic | Active-low (EN) - direct interface with 3.3V GPIO without level-shifting; VIH ≥1.5V, VIL ≤0.5V |
| FLG Blanking Time | 6ms typ. - suppresses transient overcurrent events (e.g., 100μF capacitor inrush) without external components |
| Reverse-Voltage Trip | 35–105mV (VOUT–VIN) - blocks backfeed from powered peripherals into host supplies, protecting upstream regulators |
| Discharge Resistance | 140–200Ω - actively discharges output capacitance to <0.5V in ≤0.4ms when disabled, preventing floating bus states |
Pinout & Package
AP22818AKAWT-7 is housed in a RoHS-compliant, lead-free TSOT25 (SOT-25) package - thermally efficient, moisture sensitivity level 1, matte tin-plated leads solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Power ground reference for internal circuitry and thermal path; must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane |
| 2 | FLG | Open-drain fault flag - pulled low during overcurrent/overtemperature; requires external pull-up for system interrupt signaling |
| 3 | OUT | Switched output - connects to load; requires 0.1μF ceramic + ≥10μF bulk capacitor to GND for stability and short-circuit immunity |
| 4 | IN | Input supply rail - connect 1μF X7R ceramic capacitor directly to GND; recommended 10μF+ for heavy transient loads |
| 5 | EN | Active-low enable - drive low to turn ON the switch; must not float; tie to GND via 100kΩ if unused |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Output Discharge | 140–200Ω internal discharge path ensures rapid, controlled VOUT collapse (<0.4ms to <0.5V) upon disable - eliminates need for external bleed resistor |
| Auto-Recovery Protections | Overcurrent, short-circuit, and overtemperature faults self-clear once condition resolves - no manual reset required for system resilience |
| Reverse-Current Blocking | Prevents backflow from VOUT to VIN when VOUT > VIN by ≥35mV - protects upstream power sources in multi-rail systems |
| Soft-Start Control | 0.6ms typical rise time limits inrush current - enables safe hot-plug of 120μF loads without tripping upstream fuses |
| UVLO with Hysteresis | 2.3V turn-on / 2.12V turn-off (180mV hysteresis) - prevents oscillation during brown-out and ensures clean power-up sequencing |
Applications
| Ultrabook Power Sequencing | USB 3.0 Port Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side load switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP22818WKAWT-7 | Same silicon, active-high enable (EN) instead of active-low (EN) | Requires inverted GPIO control signal; identical protection features and timing | Select when host MCU GPIO defaults to high or lacks open-drain capability |
| TCK107AG,LF | 2.5A rating, 50mΩ RDS(ON), 1.8–6.0V input, but no integrated discharge function | Lacks output discharge path - requires external 100kΩ resistor to meet same VOUT discharge spec | Choose for lower conduction loss in space-constrained designs where board area permits external discharge component |
Compared with AP22818AKAWT-7, AP22818WKAWT-7 simplifies control logic for non-inverting drivers, while TCK107AG offers higher current headroom and lower RDS(ON) at the cost of added BOM count and layout complexity for discharge.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the AP22818AKAWT-7 can safely drive during turn-on?
The AP22818AKAWT-7 supports up to 470μF output capacitance with controlled inrush, as validated in the datasheet's performance curves. For USB applications, ≥10μF is mandatory; 120μF is typical for SSDs. Exceeding 470μF risks violating the 2.7A short-circuit limit during initial charge, potentially triggering FLG assertion.
Does the AP22818AKAWT-7 require external components for overcurrent protection?
No external components are required for overcurrent protection. The device uses an internal sense-FET architecture with 6ms deglitch on the FLG pin to reject transient inrush events. Only a 0.1μF ceramic and ≥10μF bulk capacitor on OUT, plus 1μF on IN, are mandatory for stable operation per the datasheet layout guidelines.
How does reverse-voltage protection behave when VOUT exceeds VIN by 50mV?
When VOUT rises >VIN +35mV (min), the internal comparator triggers within 2–15ms (tTRIG), turning off the MOSFET to block reverse current. Recovery occurs automatically once VOUT falls below VIN +35mV - no reset or enable toggle needed. This protects upstream 5V rails from backfeed in multi-port systems.
Can the FLG pin drive an LED directly for fault indication?
Yes - the FLG pin is an open-drain output rated for 10mA sink current with RFLG = 30–60Ω. A 4.7kΩ pull-up to 3.3V yields ~0.7mA LED current, sufficient for status indication. Do not exceed 10mA or apply voltage >5.5V to avoid damaging the internal FET.
