Product details
Overview
AP9101CAK-AYTRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-chip lithium-ion battery protection IC for 1-cell packs, featuring overcharge detection at 4.250V ±25mV, overdischarge detection at 2.400V ±35mV, discharge overcurrent detection at 0.150V ±15mV, and built-in fixed delay timing with no external capacitor required. It controls external N-channel MOSFETs via dedicated CO and DO pins and supports 0V battery charge functionality.
For engineers reviewing the AP9101CAK-AYTRG1 datasheet, AP9101CAK-AYTRG1 pinout, AP9101CAK-AYTRG1 application, or AP9101CAK-AYTRG1 equivalent, this device is selected for precision voltage thresholds, ultra-low 3.0µA operating current, selectable power-down mode, and high-voltage tolerance (30V between VDD and VM) in compact SOT25 packaging.
Technical Context
The AP9101CAK-AYTRG1 integrates independent voltage comparators for overcharge (VCU = 4.250V), overdischarge (VDL = 2.400V), and overvoltage charger (VOVCHG = 8.0V), each with configurable hysteresis and ±25–±100mV accuracy across temperature. Its logic circuit drives CO and DO outputs to control charge/discharge FETs based on real-time VM–VSS differential sensing.
It implements fixed internal delay timers (tCU = 1.0s typ, tDL = 128ms typ, tDOC = 8ms typ, tSHORT = 12µs typ) without external RC components and includes selectable auto-wake-up behavior during overdischarge recovery-enabling operation without charger presence when VDD rises above VDU = 3.000V.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seiko Instruments S-8261AAL-M6T1U | Fixed 4.25V overcharge, 2.50V overdischarge; no 0V charge support; requires external capacitor for delay timing | Lacks auto-wake-up and 0V charge-requires manual reset or charger presence to recover from deep discharge | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs field reliability needs and design can accommodate external timing cap |
| Ricoh RP507K001B-TR-F | 4.25V/2.40V thresholds; 0.15V discharge OCP; but only 1.8µA operating current and no overvoltage charger detection | Missing VOVCHG (8.0V) protection-unsuitable for systems exposed to unregulated or automotive-grade chargers | Prefer where ultra-low ICC is critical and charger overvoltage risk is eliminated by upstream regulation |
Compared with S-8261AAL-M6T1U and RP507K001B-TR-F, AP9101CAK-AYTRG1 uniquely combines factory-configured 0V charge, overvoltage charger detection, and capacitor-free timing-making it optimal for consumer and medical battery packs demanding field robustness and maintenance-free operation.

FAQ
What is the function of the VM pin on AP9101CAK-AYTRG1?
The VM pin serves as the current-sense input for both charge and discharge overcurrent detection. It measures the voltage difference between itself and VSS to determine load or charger current magnitude via an external sense resistor (R2). During overcurrent or short-circuit events, the IC uses VM–VSS voltage to trigger DO or CO shutdown with microsecond-to-millisecond response times depending on fault type.
Does AP9101CAK-AYTRG1 support automatic recovery from overdischarge without a charger?
Yes-this variant includes auto-wake-up functionality. When the battery voltage rises above the overdischarge release voltage (VDU = 3.000V), the IC exits overdischarge status and re-enables the DO output, restoring discharge capability even if no charger is connected. This behavior is factory-configured and does not require external wake-up circuitry.
How does the overvoltage charger detection feature work?
The overvoltage charger detection monitors the voltage between VDD and VM pins. If this differential exceeds 8.0V (±2V), the CO pin is immediately driven low to disable the charge MOSFET. Recovery occurs when the differential falls below 7.3V (±2V), with no intentional delay-providing instantaneous protection against faulty or unregulated chargers.
Can AP9101CAK-AYTRG1 be used with a 2-cell battery configuration?
No-it is strictly designed for 1-cell Li+ or Li-polymer batteries with nominal 3.6–3.7V and maximum 4.2–4.35V charge voltage. Its voltage detection thresholds (e.g., 4.250V overcharge, 2.400V overdischarge) and absolute maximum ratings (12V VDD–VSS) do not support series-connected cells. For 2-cell applications, Diodes' AP9211 or AP9221 families are appropriate alternatives.
