Product details
Overview
AP9101CAK-CCTRG1 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 0.095V ±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-CCTRG1 datasheet, AP9101CAK-CCTRG1 pinout, AP9101CAK-CCTRG1 application, or AP9101CAK-CCTRG1 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-CCTRG1 implements independent high-accuracy voltage comparators for VDD–VSS (overcharge/overdischarge) and VM–VSS (discharge/charge overcurrent, short-circuit), each with configurable thresholds and ±20% delay time tolerance. Its logic circuitry enforces auto-release overcharge protection mode and uses internal level-shifting to drive CO/DO outputs across the full 1.5–5.5V supply range.
It integrates selectable power-down mode (enabled by default in AK variant), 0V battery charge permission, and an overvoltage charger detection circuit (8.0V ±2V trigger) that operates without delay. The VM pin serves dual roles: current-sense input and internal resistor network node (RVMD/RVMS) for status-dependent biasing during fault recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Overcharge Detection Voltage | 4.375V ±25mV - sets precise upper cell voltage limit before disabling charge path |
| Overdischarge Detection Voltage | 2.500V ±35mV - prevents deep discharge damage to Li+ cell anode structure |
| Discharge Overcurrent Threshold | 0.095V ±15mV - detects >1.5A fault current with 10mΩ sense resistor |
| Operating Current (Typ) | 3.0µA at 3.5V - enables multi-year shelf life in battery-powered IoT devices |
| Power-Down Current (Typ) | 0.01µA - reduces self-discharge impact during long-term storage |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VM | Current-sense and status input | Monitors voltage drop across sense resistor; enables fault classification (OC/SC) and auto-wake-up recovery |
| VDD | Positive supply input | Accepts 1.5–5.5V; powers internal circuitry and drives CO/DO outputs |
| VSS | Negative supply reference | System ground return; used as comparator reference for all voltage detection functions |

| CO | Charge control output | Drives gate of external N-MOSFET to interrupt charge path during overcharge, charge overcurrent, or charger overvoltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed thresholds | Fixed VCU=4.375V, VDL=2.500V, VDOC=0.095V - eliminates external resistor trimming and calibration effort |
| 0V battery charge enable | Permits recharge of fully depleted cells without manual reset or external wake-up circuitry |
| No external timing capacitor | Built-in fixed delay circuit reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. discrete RC-based solutions |
| Auto-release overcharge mode | Automatically restores charge path when cell voltage drops below VCL=4.175V - avoids permanent lockout |

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 threshold; no 0V charge function; requires external timing capacitor | Lacks auto-wake-up and 0V charge - unsuitable for long-storage medical disposables | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs functional gaps and design simplicity requirements |
| Ricoh RP507K001B-TR-F | Lower operating current (1.8µA typ); supports 2-cell configuration; no overvoltage charger detection | Missing VOVCHG circuit - cannot protect against 12V automotive charger transients | Prefer for ultra-low-power 2S packs where charger overvoltage risk is absent |
Compared with S-8261AAL-M6T1U and RP507K001B-TR-F, AP9101CAK-CCTRG1 uniquely combines factory-set precision thresholds, 0V charge enable, overvoltage charger detection, and capacitor-free timing-making it optimal for space-constrained, long-shelf-life 1S Li+ applications demanding zero-field intervention.

FAQ
What is the function of the VM pin on AP9101CAK-CCTRG1?
The VM pin serves as the current-sense input for discharge/charge overcurrent and short-circuit detection, and also connects internally to resistor networks (RVMD/RVMS) that dynamically bias the pin during fault recovery. It enables the IC to distinguish between overdischarge and overcurrent states and supports auto-wake-up functionality when the battery is deeply discharged.
Does AP9101CAK-CCTRG1 support overvoltage protection for the charger input?
Yes. The AP9101CAK-CCTRG1 includes a dedicated overvoltage charger detection circuit that monitors the voltage between VDD and VM pins. When this voltage exceeds 8.0V (±2V), the CO pin is driven low to disable charging; release occurs at 7.3V (±2V) with no delay, providing immediate response to unsafe charger conditions.
Can AP9101CAK-CCTRG1 be used with a 2-cell battery pack?
No. AP9101CAK-CCTRG1 is specified exclusively for 1-cell Li+ or Li-polymer batteries, with absolute maximum VDD–VSS rating of 12V and operating supply range of 1.5–5.5V. For 2-cell applications, Diodes offers the AP9102 series, which supports up to 8.4V total pack voltage and includes dual-cell balancing logic.
How does the 0V battery charge function operate in AP9101CAK-CCTRG1?
When enabled (factory-set in AK variant), the 0V battery charge function allows the charger to initiate charging even when the battery voltage reads 0V due to self-discharge. This is achieved by internal circuitry that overrides the normal overdischarge lockout condition, permitting CO pin activation once charger voltage exceeds 1.2V at the VDD pin.
