Product details
Overview
AP9101CAK-CBTRG1 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 0.150V ±15mV, built-in fixed delay timing, and 0V battery charge functionality. It controls external N-channel MOSFETs via DO (discharge gate) and CO (charge gate) pins in portable power tools, Bluetooth headsets, and wearable medical monitors.
For engineers reviewing the AP9101CAK-CBTRG1 datasheet, AP9101CAK-CBTRG1 pinout, AP9101CAK-CBTRG1 application, or AP9101CAK-CBTRG1 equivalent, this page delivers verified voltage thresholds, real-world timing behavior, SOT25 package constraints, and functional alternatives with documented release voltage and overcurrent detection differences.
Technical Context
The AP9101CAK-CBTRG1 integrates high-precision analog comparators for five independent protection functions-overcharge, overdischarge, discharge overcurrent, short-circuit, and charge overcurrent-with fixed internal delay timers (tCU = 1.0s typ, tDOC = 12ms typ, tSHORT = 8µs typ). Its VM pin senses current-sense voltage across an external R2 resistor while VDD–VSS monitors cell voltage directly.
It uses a high-voltage CMOS process enabling 30V tolerance between VDD and VM pins, supports selectable power-down mode (0.01µA typ), and includes factory-configured 0V battery charge enablement. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C with supply voltage range 1.5V–5.5V and features auto-release overcharge protection mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Overcharge Detection Voltage | 4.375V ±25mV - triggers CO pin low after 1.0s delay to disable charging when cell exceeds safe voltage |
| Overdischarge Detection Voltage | 2.500V ±35mV - asserts DO pin low after 100ms delay to halt discharge before deep cell depletion |
| Discharge Overcurrent Threshold | 0.150V ±15mV - detects >1.5A through 100mΩ sense resistor and disables discharge path within 12ms |
| Short-Circuit Detection Voltage | 0.700V ±100mV - responds to >7A fault current within 8µs to prevent thermal runaway |
| Operating Current (Active) | 3.0µA typ at 3.5V - enables multi-year runtime in always-on battery management systems |
| Power-Down Current | 0.01µA typ - extends shelf life of sealed battery packs during storage |
| 0V Battery Charge Enable | Factory-set enabled - allows recovery of fully depleted cells using standard CC/CV chargers |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5640T252C-TR | Overcharge release voltage fixed at 4.15V (vs. 4.175V); no 0V charge function; 1.2µA operating current | Lacks 0V recovery capability; suited for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where deep discharge is prevented by system firmware | Select when BOM cost reduction outweighs need for field-recoverable dead batteries |
| BD85501GUL | Integrated charge/discharged MOSFETs; 2.8V overdischarge threshold; ±50mV accuracy; 1.8µA operating current | Self-contained solution eliminates external FETs but increases thermal footprint; less precise voltage detection | Choose for rapid prototyping where board space is secondary to design cycle time |
Compared with R5640T252C-TR and BD85501GUL, AP9101CAK-CBTRG1 uniquely combines 0V charge enablement, ±25mV overcharge accuracy, and ultra-low 0.01µA power-down current-making it optimal for sealed, long-life, field-deployed Li+ packs requiring guaranteed recovery from total discharge.

FAQ
What is the function of the VM pin on AP9101CAK-CBTRG1?
The VM pin serves as the current-sense input that measures voltage drop across an external resistor (R2) placed between the battery's P− node and the load. It enables detection of discharge overcurrent, charge overcurrent, and short-circuit conditions by comparing VM–VSS against internal thresholds (e.g., 0.150V for discharge overcurrent). Its 30V absolute maximum rating allows direct interface with high-voltage charger inputs without attenuation.
Does AP9101CAK-CBTRG1 support automatic recovery from overdischarge?
Yes-AP9101CAK-CBTRG1 implements auto-wake-up functionality. When in overdischarge state, it exits protection and resumes normal operation once the battery voltage rises above the overdischarge release voltage (2.900V) without requiring external charger connection. This behavior is factory-configured and distinct from power-down mode variants that mandate charger presence for recovery.
How does the 0V battery charge function operate in practice?
The 0V battery charge function permits the AP9101CAK-CBTRG1 to enable charging even when the connected Li+ cell has fully self-discharged to 0V. Internally, it overrides the typical under-voltage lockout, allowing the CO pin to remain high during initial charge application. This enables standard CC/CV chargers to safely restore capacity without requiring separate pre-charge circuitry or manual intervention.
Can AP9101CAK-CBTRG1 be used with 2-cell battery configurations?
No-AP9101CAK-CBTRG1 is strictly designed for 1-cell Li+ or Li-polymer applications with VDD–VSS operating range up to 5.5V. Its overcharge detection threshold (4.375V) and absolute maximum supply rating (12V) are incompatible with stacked 2-cell voltages (typically 7.2V–8.4V). For multi-cell packs, Diodes recommends the AP9211 or AP9221 series, which support dual-cell voltage monitoring and balancing interfaces.
