Product details
Overview
AP9101CAK-CDTRG1 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, and integrated 0V battery charge functionality. It operates with 3.0µA typical current in active mode and supports SOT25 packaging for compact portable power management.
For engineers reviewing the AP9101CAK-CDTRG1 datasheet, AP9101CAK-CDTRG1 pinout, AP9101CAK-CDTRG1 application, or AP9101CAK-CDTRG1 equivalent, this device delivers precision voltage thresholds, fixed delay timing without external capacitors, selectable power-down mode, and high-voltage tolerance (30V between VDD and VM) for robust battery safety in space-constrained consumer and industrial battery packs.
Technical Context
The AP9101CAK-CDTRG1 implements dual-MOSFET control via independent CO (charge FET gate) and DO (discharge FET gate) outputs, with built-in level-shifting logic to drive external N-channel MOSFETs. Its protection logic includes auto-release overcharge behavior and configurable overdischarge recovery-either via charger connection (power-down version) or voltage rise above VDU (auto-wake-up version).
It integrates internal resistance networks (RVMD = 150–500kΩ, RVMS = 10–50kΩ) for VM-sense path biasing, eliminates external timing capacitors via on-chip fixed-delay circuitry (±20% accuracy), and supports overvoltage charger detection at 8.0V (±2V) with immediate CO shutdown-no delay applied.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the function of the VM pin on the AP9101CAK-CDTRG1?
The VM pin serves as the current-sense input node for both charge and discharge overcurrent detection. It monitors the voltage drop across an external sense resistor placed between the battery's P− terminal and system ground. When this voltage exceeds configured thresholds (e.g., 0.150V for discharge overcurrent), the IC asserts DO or CO to disable the respective FET. Internal resistors RVMD and RVMS connect dynamically during fault states to bias VM for reliable detection.
Does the AP9101CAK-CDTRG1 support automatic recovery from overdischarge without a charger?
No-the AP9101CAK-CDTRG1 variant includes selectable power-down mode, meaning recovery from overdischarge requires charger connection to raise battery voltage above VDU (2.900V). Unlike the auto-wake-up AP9101CA series, this part does not monitor open-circuit voltage autonomously in sleep state and lacks tDLR-based release logic without external stimulus.
Can the AP9101CAK-CDTRG1 be used in 2-cell battery configurations?
No-it is designed exclusively for 1-cell Li+ or Li-polymer batteries with maximum VDD–VSS operating range of 1.5V to 5.5V. Its overcharge detection threshold (4.375V) and overvoltage charger detection (8.0V) are calibrated for single-cell voltage profiles. Using it in 2S configurations risks undervoltage lockout or false overcharge triggering due to doubled cell voltage.
How does the 0V battery charge function operate in practice?
When enabled (factory-set in AP9101CAK-CDTRG1), the 0V charge function allows the charger to initiate current flow into a fully depleted cell (0V nominal) by temporarily overriding the overdischarge lockout. The IC detects charger presence via VM pin voltage rise and enables DO output once VDD reaches ≥1.2V, permitting controlled recharge without manual reset or external wake-up circuitry.
