Product details
Overview
AP9101CAK-BLTRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-chip lithium-ion battery protection IC for 1-cell packs, integrating overcharge (4.375V), overdischarge (2.500V), discharge overcurrent (0.150V), short-circuit (0.700V), and charge overcurrent (-0.150V) detection with ±25mV voltage accuracy and fixed internal delay timing. It drives external N-channel MOSFETs via CO/DO pins and supports 0V battery charging and selectable power-down mode.
For engineers reviewing the AP9101CAK-BLTRG1 datasheet, AP9101CAK-BLTRG1 pinout, AP9101CAK-BLTRG1 application, or AP9101CAK-BLTRG1 equivalent, this device is selected for compact, low-power battery management in portable electronics where precision voltage thresholds, ultra-low quiescent current (3.0µA operating / 0.01µA power-down), and integrated delay circuits eliminate external capacitors.
Technical Context
The AP9101CAK-BLTRG1 implements independent analog comparators for six protection conditions-overcharge, overdischarge, discharge overcurrent, short circuit, charge overcurrent, and overvoltage charger-with dedicated hysteresis and fixed delay timers (e.g., tCU = 1.0s typ, tSHORT = 8µs typ). Its high-voltage CMOS process enables 30V VDD-to-VM tolerance, supporting direct connection to charger input rails.
It uses internal resistor networks (RVMD = 300kΩ typ, RVMS = 30kΩ typ) to condition VM-sense signals and enable automatic status recovery: overdischarge release occurs at VDU = 2.900V, while overcharge release triggers at VCL = 4.175V. The CO/DO outputs drive external MOSFET gates with RCOH/RCOL ≤10kΩ and RDOH/RDOL ≤10kΩ, ensuring robust FET switching under load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

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-8261AAB-M6T1U | Fixed 4.25V overcharge threshold; no 0V charge support; requires external capacitor for delay timing | Lacks configurable thresholds and integrated short-circuit detection; suited only for cost-sensitive, non-recoverable designs | Choose when fixed thresholds and lower BOM count outweigh need for precision and recovery features |
| Ricoh RP502K001B-TR-F | Supports 2-cell stacks; higher VDD–VM rating (36V); no overvoltage charger detection | Designed for multi-cell power tools; lacks 0V charge and auto-wake-up modes required for consumer portables | Prefer for industrial multi-cell systems where charger overvoltage immunity is not required |
Compared with S-8261AAB-M6T1U and RP502K001B-TR-F, the AP9101CAK-BLTRG1 uniquely combines factory-programmed precision thresholds, 0V charge recovery, overvoltage charger detection, and sub-10nA power-down current-making it optimal for high-reliability, long-shelf-life single-cell consumer devices.

FAQ
What is the function of the VM pin on AP9101CAK-BLTRG1?
The VM pin serves as the current-sense input, measuring voltage drop across an external sense resistor between battery negative and system ground. It enables detection of discharge overcurrent (at 0.150V), short-circuit (0.700V), and charge overcurrent (-0.150V) by comparing VM–VSS to internal reference thresholds. Internal resistor networks (RVMD/RVMS) condition this signal for accurate timing and recovery behavior.
Does AP9101CAK-BLTRG1 support both charge and discharge MOSFET control?
Yes. The CO pin controls the gate of the charge-path N-channel MOSFET, turning it off during overcharge, charge overcurrent, or overvoltage charger events. The DO pin controls the discharge-path N-channel MOSFET, turning it off during overdischarge, discharge overcurrent, or short-circuit conditions. Both outputs drive MOSFET gates directly with low-impedance pull-up/pull-down capability (RCOH/RCOL ≤10kΩ).
How does the 0V battery charge function operate in AP9101CAK-BLTRG1?
The 0V battery charge function is factory-enabled in AP9101CAK-BLTRG1 and allows external chargers to initiate charging even when the battery voltage reads 0V due to self-discharge. It operates by permitting CO pin activation once charger voltage exceeds 1.2V at VDD, bypassing normal under-voltage lockout. This avoids permanent battery discard and enables full recovery without service intervention.
What is the significance of the "AK" suffix in AP9101CAK-BLTRG1?
The "AK" suffix denotes the specific configuration: overcharge detection voltage = 4.375V, overcharge release = 4.175V, overdischarge detection = 2.500V, overdischarge release = 2.900V, discharge overcurrent = 0.150V, short-circuit = 0.700V, and charge overcurrent = -0.150V. It also indicates selectable power-down mode and auto-release overcharge protection behavior, per Diodes' ordering matrix.
