Product details
Overview
AP9101CAK-ADTRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-chip lithium-ion battery protection IC for 1-cell packs, featuring overcharge detection at 4.375V ±25mV, overdischarge detection at 2.500V ±35mV, discharge overcurrent detection at 0.120V ±15mV, short-circuit detection at 0.700V ±100mV, and charge overcurrent detection at −0.120V ±15mV. It integrates fixed-delay timing, 0V battery charge enable, and selectable power-down mode, deployed in portable power tools and medical wearable batteries.
For engineers reviewing the AP9101CAK-ADTRG1 datasheet, AP9101CAK-ADTRG1 pinout, AP9101CAK-ADTRG1 application, or AP9101CAK-ADTRG1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SOT25 pin mapping, real-world use scenarios in Li+ pack design, and two validated alternative parts with precise functional differences.
Technical Context
The AP9101CAK-ADTRG1 implements dual-MOSFET control via separate CO (charge FET gate) and DO (discharge FET gate) outputs, with independent voltage and current sensing paths referencing VM, VDD, and VSS. Its internal logic enforces auto-release overcharge protection and supports both power-down and auto-wake-up operation modes.
It features built-in high-voltage CMOS process enabling 30V VDD-to-VM tolerance, integrated RVMD (300kΩ typ) and RVMS (30kΩ typ) sense resistors, and fixed delay timers (tCU = 1.0s typ, tDOC = 12ms typ, tSHORT = 350µs typ) with ±20% accuracy at +25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Overcharge Detection Voltage | 4.375V ±25mV - sets precise upper cell voltage limit before disabling charge FET |
| Overdischarge Detection Voltage | 2.500V ±35mV - triggers discharge FET shutdown to prevent deep discharge damage |
| Discharge Overcurrent Threshold | 0.120V ±15mV - detects excessive load current via sense resistor voltage drop |
| Short-Circuit Detection Voltage | 0.700V ±100mV - enables rapid (<1ms) discharge FET cutoff during hard shorts |
| Operating Current (Typ) | 3.0µA at 3.5V - enables multi-year runtime in low-power battery monitoring systems |
| Power-Down Current (Typ) | 0.01µA - extends shelf life of stored battery packs with zero-load leakage |
| VDD–VM Absolute Max | 30V - supports robust charger interface design without external clamping |
Pinout & Package
AP9101CAK-ADTRG1 is packaged in SOT25 (5-pin), with pin 1 marked and NC terminal omitted. The package supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020 and operates from −40°C to +85°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VM | Current Sense Input | Monitors voltage drop across external sense resistor to detect charge/discharge overcurrent and short circuits |
| VDD | Positive Supply Input | Connects to battery positive; powers internal circuitry and drives CO/DO gate outputs |
| VSS | Negative Supply Reference | Ground reference for all internal comparators and logic; tied to battery negative |
| DO | Discharge FET Gate Driver | High-level output enables discharge path; pulled low during overdischarge, overcurrent, or short events |
| CO | Charge FET Gate Driver | High-level output enables charge path; pulled low during overcharge, charge overcurrent, or overvoltage charger events |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 0V Battery Charge Enable | Factory-configured option allowing safe recharge of fully depleted cells down to 0V |
| Auto-Release Overcharge Protection | Automatically restores charge path when cell voltage drops below 4.175V (VCL), eliminating manual reset requirement |
| Integrated Sense Resistors | RVMD (300kΩ typ) and RVMS (30kΩ typ) eliminate need for external components in overdischarge and short-circuit recovery paths |
| Selectable Power-Down Mode | User-configurable via factory setting: enables ultra-low 0.01µA sleep current or auto-wake-up on voltage rise |
| Overvoltage Charger Detection | 8.0V ±2V threshold disables charging if input exceeds safe level-no external comparator needed |
Applications
| Power Tool Battery Packs | Medical Wearable Batteries |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery protection IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seiko Instruments S-8261AAB-M6T1U | Fixed 4.25V overcharge threshold; no 0V charge function; 1.5µA typical operating current | Lacks auto-wake-up and 0V charge support; requires external capacitor for delay timing | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-zero-volt-recovery designs where fixed thresholds suffice |
| Ricoh RP502K001B-TR-F | Programmable overcharge voltage (4.10–4.45V); includes temperature compensation; 2.0µA operating current | Supports thermal-aware protection but requires external NTC and configuration resistors | Choose when ambient temperature variation significantly impacts cell voltage thresholds |
Compared with S-8261AAB-M6T1U and RP502K001B-TR-F, AP9101CAK-ADTRG1 uniquely combines factory-programmed 4.375V/2.500V thresholds, integrated 0V charge enable, and zero-external-component fixed timing-reducing BOM count and layout area in space-constrained 1-cell packs.

FAQ
What is the function of the VM pin on AP9101CAK-ADTRG1?
The VM pin serves as the current-sense input terminal, measuring voltage drop across an external sense resistor between battery negative and system ground. It directly feeds the discharge overcurrent, short-circuit, and charge overcurrent comparators, enabling precise detection of abnormal current flow without external amplification.
Does AP9101CAK-ADTRG1 support automatic recovery from overdischarge?
Yes-when configured in auto-wake-up mode (as indicated by the "A" in position 7 of the part number), the device exits overdischarge status automatically once the battery voltage rises above the overdischarge release voltage (2.900V) and remains there for the release delay time, eliminating need for external reset signals or charger presence.
How does the 0V battery charge function operate in practice?
When enabled, the 0V battery charge function allows the AP9101CAK-ADTRG1 to activate its internal charge path even when the connected Li+ cell measures 0V. This permits safe trickle charging to restore cells degraded by long-term self-discharge, provided the charger supplies ≥1.2V to the VDD pin during initial connection.
Can AP9101CAK-ADTRG1 be used in automotive applications?
No-AP9101CAK-ADTRG1 is not AEC-Q200 qualified and lacks automotive-grade qualification documentation. While it operates across −40°C to +85°C, Diodes Incorporated explicitly states that automotive applications require direct consultation for PPAP-capable, IATF 16949-manufactured alternatives with AEC-Q100/101/104/200 validation.
