Product details
Overview
AP9101CAK-BHTRG1 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 integrated fixed-delay timing with no external capacitor required. It controls external N-channel MOSFETs via dedicated CO and DO gate drive pins and supports 0V battery charge functionality.
For engineers reviewing the AP9101CAK-BHTRG1 datasheet, AP9101CAK-BHTRG1 pinout, AP9101CAK-BHTRG1 application, or AP9101CAK-BHTRG1 equivalent, this device is selected for precision voltage monitoring, low-quiescent-current battery safety systems, and compact 1-cell Li+ pack designs requiring factory-configured protection thresholds and auto-release behavior.
Technical Context
The AP9101CAK-BHTRG1 implements dual independent voltage comparators (for VDD–VSS and VM–VSS), current-sense amplification with programmable VDOC/VCOC thresholds, and a logic-controlled delay circuit that triggers CO/DO gate shutdown on overvoltage, overcurrent, or short-circuit events. Its high-voltage CMOS process supports up to 30V differential between VDD and VM pins.
It operates in two configurable modes: power-down (0.1µA standby) or auto-wake-up (active overdischarge monitoring), and includes an overvoltage charger detection circuit (8.0V ±2V threshold) with immediate CO pin response-no delay-ensuring fast isolation of faulty chargers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Overcharge Detection Voltage | 4.250V ±25mV - sets precise upper cell voltage limit before CO pin disables charge path |
| Overdischarge Detection Voltage | 2.400V ±35mV - triggers DO pin shutdown to prevent deep discharge damage to Li+ cell |
| Discharge Overcurrent Threshold | 0.150V ±15mV - detects excessive load current via sense resistor voltage drop at VM pin |
| Quiescent Current (Operation) | 3.0µA typ at +25°C - enables multi-year battery shelf life in always-connected protection circuits |
| VM–VSS Sense Range | −0.2V to +0.32V - supports bidirectional current sensing for charge/discharge control |
| CO/DO Output Drive | 6kΩ typ "H" resistance - directly drives standard N-MOSFET gates without external buffers |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for consumer, industrial, and portable medical battery applications |
Pinout & Package
AP9101CAK-BHTRG1 is packaged in SOT25 (5-pin) with lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction. Pin 1 is marked; pinout is identical across SOT25 and SOT26 variants per datasheet Figure 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VM | Current-sense input | Monitors voltage drop across external sense resistor to detect charge/discharge overcurrent and short-circuit conditions |
| VDD | Positive supply input | Connects to battery positive terminal; powers internal circuitry and provides reference for VM sensing |
| VSS | Negative supply ground | System ground reference for all internal comparators and logic; tied to battery negative |
| DO | Discharge control output | Drives gate of discharge N-MOSFET; goes low to disconnect load during overdischarge or overcurrent |
| CO | Charge control output | Drives gate of charge N-MOSFET; goes low to block charging during overcharge, overvoltage, or charge overcurrent |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed protection thresholds | Fixed VCU=4.250V, VDL=2.400V, VDOC=0.150V - eliminates external resistor trimming and calibration effort |
| Integrated delay timing | No external capacitor required - reduces BOM count and PCB footprint while maintaining ±20% timing accuracy |
| 0V battery charge enable | Permits safe reactivation of deeply discharged cells (0V) using standard CC/CV chargers |
| Auto-release overcharge protection | Automatically restores charge path when cell voltage falls below 4.050V (VCL), avoiding manual reset |
| Overvoltage charger detection | 8.0V ±2V threshold on VDD–VM - protects against defective or mismatched chargers without added components |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery protection IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP9101CAK-BATRG1 | Overcharge detection set to 4.375V instead of 4.250V; same VDL=2.400V and VDOC=0.150V | Suitable for higher-voltage Li+ chemistries (e.g., LiCoO₂ with wider Vmax tolerance) | Select when nominal cell voltage exceeds 4.2V and tighter overcharge margin is needed. |
| AP9101CAK-BITRG1 | Overcharge detection at 4.500V, overdischarge at 2.400V, and discharge overcurrent at 0.150V - higher VCU with same timing and feature set | Targeted at high-capacity prismatic cells with elevated charge termination voltages | Choose for applications where 4.5V charge ceiling is specified and 2.4V discharge floor remains critical. |
Compared with AP9101CAK-BHTRG1, the BH variant offers the lowest overcharge detection voltage (4.250V) among factory-configured options, making it optimal for conservative Li+ protection where cell longevity outweighs maximum capacity utilization-while maintaining identical timing, 0V charge, and auto-release behavior.

FAQ
What is the function of the VM pin on AP9101CAK-BHTRG1?
The VM pin serves as the current-sense input terminal, measuring voltage drop across an external sense resistor connected between the battery's P− node and the load. It enables detection of discharge overcurrent (≥0.150V), charge overcurrent (≤−0.150V), and short-circuit events (≥0.700V), triggering DO or CO pin shutdown within fixed delay times.
Does AP9101CAK-BHTRG1 support automatic recovery from overdischarge?
Yes-AP9101CAK-BHTRG1 supports auto-wake-up mode (indicated by 'A' in part number suffix), allowing recovery from overdischarge when battery voltage rises above 2.400V (VDL) without requiring external charger connection. This differs from power-down variants that mandate charger presence to exit overdischarge state.
Can AP9101CAK-BHTRG1 be used with lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) cells?
No-AP9101CAK-BHTRG1 is optimized for lithium-ion/lithium-polymer chemistry with nominal 3.7V and max 4.2V charge voltage. Its 4.250V overcharge threshold and 2.400V overdischarge threshold fall outside typical LiFePO₄ ranges (2.5V–3.65V), risking premature shutdown or insufficient protection.
What is the significance of the 'RG1' suffix in AP9101CAK-BHTRG1?
The 'RG1' suffix denotes RoHS-compliant and halogen-free "Green" packaging per Diodes Incorporated's specifications: <900ppm bromine, <900ppm chlorine (total Br+Cl <1500ppm), and <1000ppm antimony compounds, with no intentionally added lead and full compliance to EU RoHS directives 2011/65/EU and 2015/863/EU.
