Product details
Overview
AP2553AFDC-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-channel, active-high enable, precision adjustable current-limited high-side power switch in U-DFN2020-6 (Type C) package. It delivers up to 2.1A continuous load current, supports programmable current-limit threshold from 75mA to 2.36A (typ.) via external resistor (RLIM = 10kΩ–210kΩ), achieves ±6% accuracy at 1.632A (RLIM = 15kΩ), and features fast 2µs short-circuit response - optimized for USB-compliant hot-swap power delivery in LCD TVs and residential gateways.
For engineers reviewing the AP2553AFDC-7 datasheet, AP2553AFDC-7 pinout, AP2553AFDC-7 application, or AP2553AFDC-7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its latch-off fault behavior under over-current/reverse-voltage, reverse-current blocking during shutdown, 7ms FAULT deglitching, controlled 1.1ms rise time, and thermal shutdown at +160°C - all critical for robust USB port protection and capacitive-load management.
Technical Context
The AP2553AFDC-7 integrates a precision current-sense FET and slew-rate-controlled gate driver to enforce constant-current limiting during overload while avoiding external sense resistors. Its internal UVLO (~2.5V) ensures safe hot-plug operation, and reverse-voltage comparator (trip at 95–190mV) triggers immediate MOSFET turn-off within 3–7ms for reverse-current protection.
Unlike the constant-current AP2553, the "A" variant implements latch-off behavior: upon over-current detection, it clamps current then disables output after 7ms deglitch timeout and remains latched until EN toggle or power cycle. Fault reporting uses an open-drain FAULT pin with 5–10ms blanking time to suppress false triggers during transient surges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Current Limit Range | 75mA–2365mA (typ.), set by external RLIM (10kΩ–210kΩ); enables precise USB port current budgeting. |
| Current Limit Accuracy | ±6% at 1.632A (RLIM = 15kΩ); ensures predictable trip margin without calibration. |
| Short-Circuit Response | 2µs (typ.); limits energy dissipation during hard shorts to protect downstream circuitry. |
| Enable Logic | Active High (EN); simplifies interface with 3.3V/5V microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C (normal mode), +140°C (under current limit); prevents permanent damage during sustained overload. |
| RDS(ON) | 80–105mΩ (typ., U-DFN2020-6, TJ = +25°C); minimizes conduction loss and self-heating at 2.1A. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V–5.5V; compatible with USB 2.0/3.0 VBUS and industrial 3.3V/5V rails. |
Pinout & Package
AP2553AFDC-7 is housed in a 2.0mm × 2.0mm, 0.65mm pitch U-DFN2020-6 (Type C) package with exposed thermal pad (recommended to connect to GND for improved power dissipation).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 6) | Power Input | Connects to 2.7–5.5V supply; requires ≥0.1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Ground Reference | Primary ground return; must be connected to PCB ground plane and exposed thermal pad. |
| EN (Pin 4) | Enable Control | Active-High logic input; drives internal driver when pulled ≥2.0V (VIH), disables switch when ≤0.8V (VIL). |
| FAULT (Pin 3) | Fault Reporting | Open-drain, active-low output asserted during over-current, over-temperature, or reverse-voltage events; includes 5–10ms blanking. |
| ILIM (Pin 2) | Current-Limit Programming | Connects external resistor (10kΩ–210kΩ) to set precise current-limit threshold; sensitive to layout parasitics. |
| OUT (Pin 1) | Switched Output | High-side switched output delivering up to 2.1A; provides reverse-current blocking when disabled. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Latch-Off Fault Response | Disables output permanently after 7ms deglitched over-current event; requires EN toggle or power cycle to reset - prevents uncontrolled restart during persistent faults. |
| Reverse Current Blocking & Limiting | Blocks reverse current flow when disabled; actively limits reverse current to 0.72A (at 200mV reverse bias) when enabled - protects upstream supplies from backfeed. |
| Controlled Soft-Start | Typical 1.1ms output rise time (VIN = 5.5V, CL = 1µF); eliminates inrush current spikes into large capacitive loads like USB ports. |
| Integrated Thermal Protection | Shuts down at +160°C junction temperature with +20°C hysteresis; recovers automatically after cooling - no external thermal sensor needed. |
| Robust ESD Immunity | 15kV IEC 61000-4-2 system-level ESD (with external capacitance); 2kV HBM, 500V CDM - suitable for consumer-facing USB interfaces. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side current-limited power switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP22653FDC-7 | Same U-DFN2020-6 package, active-high EN, but fixed 1.5A current limit (non-adjustable); lower RDS(ON) (65mΩ typ.) and faster 1.5µs short-circuit response. | Lacks programmability; suited for cost-sensitive designs where fixed current limit suffices and tighter tolerance isn't required. | Select when design prioritizes lower conduction loss and simpler BOM over adjustable current thresholds. |
| TPS22965DSGT | Texas Instruments part in 2.0mm × 2.0mm WSON-6; adjustable current limit (100mA–2.5A), but uses different FAULT timing (no deglitch), higher quiescent current (25µA vs. 80–140µA), and no reverse-current limiting. | Requires external RC network for FAULT debouncing; lacks reverse-voltage protection - needs supplemental circuitry for full USB compliance. | Choose only if TI ecosystem alignment or specific timing specs override need for integrated reverse-current blocking and deglitched FAULT. |
Compared with AP22653FDC-7, AP2553AFDC-7 trades fixed current simplicity for field-programmable protection thresholds and integrated reverse-current limiting; versus TPS22965DSGT, it delivers superior fault robustness with built-in deglitching and reverse-voltage response - critical for unattended consumer electronics.

FAQ
What is the function of the ILIM pin on AP2553AFDC-7?
The ILIM pin sources a precision reference current used to program the output current-limit threshold via an external resistor (RLIM). With RLIM values from 10kΩ to 210kΩ, it sets the trip point between 75mA and 2.36A (typ.). Layout must minimize trace length and parasitic capacitance to maintain ±6% accuracy at high settings like 1.632A (RLIM = 15kΩ).
How does the latch-off behavior differ from constant-current limiting in AP2553AFDC-7?
AP2553AFDC-7 implements latch-off: upon over-current detection, it clamps current briefly then disables the output after 7ms deglitch timeout and remains off until EN is toggled or VIN is cycled. In contrast, non-"A" variants (e.g., AP2553) maintain constant-current limiting indefinitely unless thermal shutdown occurs - making AP2553AFDC-7 safer for persistent fault conditions.
Can AP2553AFDC-7 be used in automotive applications?
AP2553AFDC-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified and is specified for -40°C to +85°C ambient operation. While it meets industrial reliability standards (UL Recognized, IEC 60950-1 CB certified), Diodes Incorporated explicitly states that automotive-grade versions require separate qualification - contact their automotive team for PPAP-capable, IATF 16949-manufactured alternatives.
What is the purpose of the exposed thermal pad on the U-DFN2020-6 package?
The exposed thermal pad on AP2553AFDC-7's U-DFN2020-6 package must be soldered to a PCB copper pour connected to GND to enhance thermal dissipation. It reduces θJA from 120°C/W to ~34°C/W (θJC), enabling reliable 2.1A operation at +85°C ambient. It is not an electrical ground path - avoid routing signal traces beneath it and ensure solder coverage ≥90% for optimal performance.
