Product details
Overview
AP22818BKWT-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), integrated output discharge, reverse-current blocking, and 6ms deglitched fault reporting. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V input, supports active-low enable, and delivers controlled 2.1ms typical rise time in TSOT25 package for notebook and SSD power sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the AP22818BKWT-7 datasheet, AP22818BKWT-7 pinout, AP22818BKWT-7 application, or AP22818BKWT-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include current rating (2.0A), thermal shutdown threshold (+150°C), UVLO hysteresis (180mV), soft-start timing, and FLG open-drain behavior with blanking - all critical for robust USB port protection and power-up sequencing in portable electronics.
Technical Context
The AP22818BKWT-7 implements a thermally protected N-channel MOSFET high-side switch with bi-directional current sensing and integrated discharge FET. Its overcurrent protection uses internal sense-FET architecture (no external resistor) to clamp output at 2.7A typical during short-circuit events while maintaining auto-recovery.
It integrates UVLO with 2.3V turn-on threshold and 180mV hysteresis, reverse-voltage detection triggering at 70mV (VOUT–VIN) with 5ms response, and thermal shutdown at +150°C with +40°C hysteresis - enabling autonomous fault recovery without host intervention in embedded USB power rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Continuous Output Current | 2.0A - Sustains full-rated load without derating at +25°C ambient in TSOT25 |
| RDS(ON) | 75mΩ max - Limits I²R loss to ≤300mW at 2A, enabling compact thermal design |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - Matches USB 2.0/3.0 VBUS and portable system rail requirements |
| Enable Polarity | Active-Low (B version) - Directly interfaces with standard GPIOs asserting low to activate power |
| FLG Blanking Time | 6ms typ. - Suppresses false fault reports during capacitive inrush transients |
| Output Discharge Resistance | 140Ω typ. - Ensures <0.4ms discharge of 1µF load to <0.5V, preventing backfeed |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.3V rising / 2.12V falling - Prevents erratic switching during brown-out or hot-plug insertion |
| Thermal Shutdown | +150°C with +40°C hysteresis - Enables safe cycling under sustained overload without latch-off |
Pinout & Package
AP22818BKWT-7 is housed in a RoHS-compliant, lead-free TSOT25 (SOT-25) package - 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 0.8mm, moisture sensitivity level 1, matte tin-plated leads solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Power Ground Reference | Primary return path for switch current and internal bias; must connect to low-impedance ground plane |
| 2 EN | Active-Low Enable Input | Drives internal driver when pulled low; logic-high (>1.5V) disables output and activates discharge |
| 3 OUT | Switched Output Terminal | Delivers regulated 2.0A to load; requires 0.1µF ceramic + ≥10µF bulk capacitor per USB spec |
| 4 IN | Input Power Supply | Accepts 2.7–5.5V; requires 1µF X7R ceramic bypass placed within 2mm of pin |
| 5 FLG | Open-Drain Fault Flag | Asserts low on overcurrent/overtemperature after 6ms blanking; requires external pull-up |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Output Discharge | 140Ω discharge path ensures rapid, controlled VOUT collapse (<0.4ms for 1µF), eliminating backfeed risk |
| Reverse-Voltage Protection | 70mV trip point blocks >350mA reverse current, protecting upstream supplies during hot-swap disconnect |
| Auto-Recovering Protections | Overcurrent, short-circuit, and overtemperature faults self-clear once condition resolves - no reset required |
| Soft-Start Control | 0.6ms typical rise time limits inrush dI/dt, preventing input rail droop and EMI spikes in dense PCB layouts |
| ESD Robustness | 2kV HBM / 500V CDM rating enables direct integration into exposed USB ports without external protection |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS22916BLYR | 1.5A rating, 85mΩ RDS(ON), no integrated discharge FET | Lacks output discharge; requires external RC network for VOUT collapse | Choose when lower cost outweighs need for autonomous discharge and higher current headroom is unnecessary |
| RT9742AGQW | 2.5A rating, 55mΩ RDS(ON), active-high enable only, no reverse-voltage protection | Missing reverse-current blocking; unsuitable for hot-swap where VOUT may exceed VIN | Prefer when maximum efficiency is critical and system topology guarantees VOUT ≤ VIN at all times |
Compared with TPS22916BLYR and RT9742AGQW, AP22818BKWT-7 uniquely combines 2.0A current capability, integrated discharge, reverse-voltage protection, and active-low enable in a 5-pin TSOT25 - making it optimal for space-constrained USB and SSD applications requiring full fault autonomy without external components.

FAQ
What is the function of the FLG pin on AP22818BKWT-7?
The FLG pin is an open-drain fault flag that asserts low (≤0.4V) when overcurrent, short-circuit, or overtemperature conditions occur - after a 6ms deglitch timeout. It remains low until both fault conditions clear, and requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ) to VIN or system IOVDD. This enables host microcontrollers to detect and log faults without polling.
Does AP22818BKWT-7 require external components for basic operation?
No external components are required for core switching functionality. However, per datasheet recommendations: a 1µF ceramic capacitor must be placed between IN and GND, a 0.1µF ceramic plus ≥10µF bulk capacitor between OUT and GND, and a pull-up resistor on FLG. These ensure stable operation, inrush control, reverse-voltage immunity, and fault reporting - all validated in USB-compliant designs.
How does the AP22818BKWT-7 handle reverse current flow?
AP22818BKWT-7 blocks reverse current by detecting when VOUT exceeds VIN by ≥70mV for ≥5ms, then turning off the internal MOSFET. This prevents backfeed from powered peripherals into the host supply during hot-unplug. Reverse leakage is limited to 0.01µA typical when disabled, and the device resumes normal operation automatically once VOUT ≤ VIN + 35mV.
Can AP22818BKWT-7 be used in automotive applications?
AP22818BKWT-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified and is specified for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). While its electrical performance meets many automotive subsystem requirements, Diodes Incorporated explicitly states that automotive-grade variants - with PPAP capability, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and AEC-Q100 qualification - require direct engagement with their automotive sales team and are not represented by this part number.
