Product details
Overview
AP22818AKCWT-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 auto-recovery overcurrent, short-circuit, overtemperature, and UVLO protection.
For engineers reviewing the AP22818AKCWT-7 datasheet, AP22818AKCWT-7 pinout, AP22818AKCWT-7 application, or AP22818AKCWT-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.0A current limit, 6ms FLG deglitch timing, 0.6ms typical rise time, and TSOT25 thermal performance (RθJA = 123°C/W) for compact, high-reliability power distribution designs.
Technical Context
The AP22818AKCWT-7 implements a thermally protected N-channel MOSFET high-side switch with bi-directional current sensing and integrated discharge FET. Its UVLO threshold is 2.3V (rising) with 180mV hysteresis, and it uses a deglitched open-drain FLG output to report overcurrent/overtemperature faults after a 6ms blanking window.
It supports reverse-voltage protection via a comparator that trips at 70mV (typ.) VOUT–VIN, triggering MOSFET turn-off within 5ms. The device maintains constant-current limiting during overload (2.7A typ. ILIMIT at 4.5V VOUT) and cycles thermally at ~150°C with ~40°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Continuous Output Current | 2.0A max - supports high-capacitance USB loads without external current sensing |
| RDS(ON) | 75mΩ typ. at 5V - enables low conduction loss and <150mW dissipation at 2A |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - compatible with 3.3V and 5V system rails including USB 2.0/3.0 |
| Enable Polarity | Active-low (EN) - direct interface with standard GPIOs asserting low to enable |
| FLG Blanking Time | 6ms typ. - suppresses false fault reporting during capacitive inrush transients |
| Output Discharge Resistance | 170Ω typ. - ensures safe VOUT decay below 0.5V in <0.4ms with 1μF load |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.3V rising / 2.12V falling - prevents erratic switching during brown-out or hot-plug ramp-up |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C trip / 110°C recovery - provides cyclic fault containment without latch-up |
Pinout & Package
AP22818AKCWT-7 is housed in a RoHS-compliant, lead-free TSOT25 (SOT-25) package with matte tin-plated leads solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208 (e3). Dimensions: 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 0.85mm, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Power Ground Reference | Primary return path for internal control circuitry and discharge FET; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane |
| 2 EN | Active-Low Enable Input | GPIO-compatible control: logic low (≤0.5V) enables switch; floating prohibited; internal pull-down not present |
| 3 OUT | Switched Output Terminal | Drives downstream load; requires 0.1μF ceramic + ≥10μF bulk capacitor to GND for stability and short-circuit immunity |
| 4 IN | Input Power Supply | Connects to 2.7–5.5V rail; requires 1μF X7R/X5R ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| 5 FLG | Open-Drain Fault Flag | Active-low indicator for overcurrent/overtemperature; requires external pull-up (e.g., 10kΩ to VIN) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Output Discharge | 170Ω on-chip discharge path eliminates need for external resistor, ensuring rapid, controlled VOUT decay upon disable |
| Reverse-Current Blocking | Automatic MOSFET turn-off when VOUT > VIN +70mV prevents backfeed into upstream supplies during hot-swap or standby |
| Auto-Recovery Protections | Overcurrent, short-circuit, and overtemperature faults self-clear once condition resolves-no manual reset required |
| Controlled Rise Time | 0.6ms typical tR limits inrush current to ≤2.7A, eliminating need for external soft-start circuitry |
| No External Components Required | 6ms FLG deglitch, UVLO, discharge, and protection logic are fully integrated-reduces BOM count and layout area |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP22818WKCWT-7 | Same silicon, active-high enable (EN), identical electrical specs and package | Requires high-asserted GPIO instead of low-asserted; no change to protection or timing behavior | Select when system control logic uses active-high signaling and board layout allows pin-compatible substitution |
| TCK107AG,LF | 2.0A rating, but higher RDS(ON) (100mΩ), no integrated discharge FET, 10ms FLG blanking | Lacks output discharge and has slower fault response; requires external RC network for soft-start | Choose only if lower cost outweighs need for autonomous discharge and tighter transient immunity |
Compared with AP22818WKCWT-7, the AP22818AKCWT-7 offers identical performance with inverted enable polarity-ideal for legacy GPIO assignments. Versus TCK107AG,LF, it delivers superior thermal efficiency, faster fault blanking, and full integration-reducing design risk in space-constrained USB and SSD applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by AP22818AKCWT-7?
The AP22818AKCWT-7 supports up to 2.0A continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (TA ≤ +85°C, VIN = 5V). Its 75mΩ RDS(ON) limits power dissipation to ~300mW at 2A, enabling reliable operation in TSOT25 without forced airflow. Derating is required above +85°C ambient per the RθJA = 123°C/W thermal metric.
Does AP22818AKCWT-7 require external components for basic operation?
No external components are required for core functionality: the 6ms FLG deglitch, UVLO, output discharge, and protection features are fully integrated. However, mandatory external capacitors include a 1μF ceramic on IN–GND and a 0.1μF + ≥10μF capacitor on OUT–GND to ensure stability, inrush control, and short-circuit robustness per the datasheet layout guidelines.
How does the FLG pin behave during an overcurrent event?
During overcurrent or overtemperature fault, the open-drain FLG pin pulls low after a nominal 6ms deglitch period and remains low until both fault conditions are cleared. It does not latch-once the load returns to safe limits, FLG releases high (open) automatically. An external pull-up resistor (e.g., 10kΩ to VIN) is required for proper logic-level interpretation by host controllers.
Can AP22818AKCWT-7 be used in automotive applications?
The AP22818AKCWT-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified and is intended for commercial/industrial applications only. Diodes Incorporated offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., AP22818Q) with PPAP support, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and extended temperature validation. For automotive use, contact Diodes directly to evaluate qualified alternatives meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 2 or 3 requirements.
