Product details
Overview
AP9101CAK-CLTRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-chip lithium-ion battery protection IC for 1-cell packs, featuring overcharge detection at 4.375 V ±25 mV, overdischarge detection at 2.500 V ±35 mV, discharge overcurrent detection at 0.150 V ±15 mV, and built-in 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 charging and selectable power-down mode.
For engineers reviewing the AP9101CAK-CLTRG1 datasheet, AP9101CAK-CLTRG1 pinout, AP9101CAK-CLTRG1 application, or AP9101CAK-CLTRG1 equivalent, this device is selected for precision voltage monitoring, low-quiescent-current battery safety systems, and compact 1-cell Li+ pack designs requiring integrated overvoltage charger detection (8.0 V) and short-circuit protection (0.7 V).
Technical Context
The AP9101CAK-CLTRG1 implements independent analog comparators for overcharge (VCU), overdischarge (VDL), discharge overcurrent (VDOC), charge overcurrent (VCOC), and short-circuit (VSHORT) detection, each with programmable thresholds and ±20% delay timing accuracy. Its logic circuitry drives CO and DO outputs to control external high-side and low-side N-MOSFETs in series with the battery path.
It integrates internal pull-up (RVMD) and pull-down (RVMS) resistors for VM pin biasing during fault states, enabling automatic recovery from overdischarge and short-circuit conditions without external components. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C with supply voltage from 1.5 V to 5.5 V and supports up to 30 V differential between VDD and VM pins.

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 4.25 V overcharge threshold; no 0V charge function; 5-pin SOT-23 package | Lacks configurable overvoltage charger detection (8.0 V) and short-circuit response time <1.5 µs | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-rechargeable Li+ applications where 0V recovery is unnecessary |
| Ricoh RP505K001B-TR-F | Supports dual-cell configuration; higher 5.5 V VDD max; requires external capacitor for delay timing | Designed for 2S battery stacks; not pin-compatible; adds 0.5 mm² footprint due to extra capacitor | Choose only when scaling to 2-cell architecture; avoid for 1S space-constrained designs |
Compared with S-8261AAB-M6T1U and RP505K001B-TR-F, AP9101CAK-CLTRG1 delivers tighter voltage accuracy (±25 mV vs ±50 mV), integrated short-circuit protection without external components, and factory-configurable 0V charge-making it optimal for high-reliability, miniaturized 1S Li+ systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the VM pin on AP9101CAK-CLTRG1?
The VM pin serves as the current-sense input that monitors voltage drop across an external sense resistor between the battery's P– terminal and load ground. It enables detection of discharge overcurrent, charge overcurrent, and short-circuit events. Internal RVMS and RVMD resistors connect to VM during fault states to stabilize sensing and enable automatic recovery without external components.
Does AP9101CAK-CLTRG1 support both charge and discharge MOSFET control?
Yes. The CO pin controls the gate of an external high-side N-channel MOSFET in the charge path, while the DO pin controls a low-side N-channel MOSFET in the discharge path. This dual-gate architecture allows independent interruption of charge and discharge currents, supporting auto-release overcharge protection and overdischarge recovery via charger reconnection or voltage rise.
How does the 0V battery charge function operate in AP9101CAK-CLTRG1?
The 0V battery charge function is factory-configured and enabled in this variant. When the battery voltage reaches 0 V due to self-discharge, the IC permits the charger to apply voltage and initiate recharge once the charger voltage exceeds 1.2 V at the VDD pin. Without this feature, the device would block charging until battery voltage rose above ~2.0 V, risking permanent cell damage.
What is the maximum allowable voltage between VDD and VM pins?
The absolute maximum rating between VDD and VM is 30 V, verified per Diodes Incorporated's DS37771 Rev. 8–3. This rating enables direct monitoring of high-voltage charger inputs (e.g., 12 V wall adapters) without external voltage dividers or level shifters, simplifying system design for universal input battery packs.
