Product details
Overview
AP9101CK6-BXTRG1 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 fixed-delay timing with no external capacitor required. It controls external N-channel MOSFETs via dedicated CO and DO gate drive pins in portable power tools, Bluetooth headsets, and medical wearables.
For engineers reviewing the AP9101CK6-BXTRG1 datasheet, AP9101CK6-BXTRG1 pinout, AP9101CK6-BXTRG1 application, or AP9101CK6-BXTRG1 equivalent, this device delivers precision voltage monitoring, selectable 0V charge function, auto-release overcharge protection mode, and high-voltage tolerance (30V between VDD and VM) - critical for robust Li+ pack safety design.
Technical Context
The AP9101CK6-BXTRG1 implements independent analog comparators for overcharge (VCU), overdischarge (VDL), discharge overcurrent (VDOC), short-circuit (VSHORT), and charge overcurrent (VCOC), each with programmable thresholds and ±20% delay time accuracy. Its logic circuitry drives CO and DO outputs to control external high-side and low-side N-MOSFETs in series configuration.
It integrates internal pull-up (RVMD) and pull-down (RVMS) resistors on the VM sense node to enable automatic status recovery during overdischarge and short-circuit events, and supports both power-down mode (0.1µA standby) and auto-wake-up operation without charger dependency.

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 option; requires external timing cap | Lacks auto-wake-up and overvoltage charger detection; suited only for cost-sensitive consumer electronics | Select only if fixed 4.25V OCV and absence of 0V charge are acceptable |
| Ricoh RP502K001B-TR-F | Supports 2-cell stacks; higher 5.0V VDD max; no VM pin - uses dedicated CS pin | Designed for multi-cell configurations; incompatible with 1S VM-sense topology | Not suitable for 1-cell designs; requires redesign of sense path and FET layout |
Compared with S-8261AAB-M6T1U and RP502K001B-TR-F, the AP9101CK6-BXTRG1 uniquely combines factory-programmed 4.375V overcharge detection, integrated 0V charge enable, and 30V VDD–VM tolerance - enabling compact, high-reliability 1S protection without external timing components or secondary wake-up circuitry.

FAQ
What is the function of the VM pin on AP9101CK6-BXTRG1?
The VM pin serves as the current-sense input for detecting discharge overcurrent, charge overcurrent, and short-circuit conditions. It measures voltage drop across an external sense resistor (RSNS) between battery negative and system ground. Internal RVMS and RVMD resistors connect to VM during fault states to enable automatic recovery without external circuitry.
Does AP9101CK6-BXTRG1 support overvoltage protection for the charger input?
Yes - it includes a dedicated overvoltage charger detection circuit that monitors voltage between VDD and VM pins. When this exceeds 8.0V (±2V), the CO pin is driven low to disable the charge MOSFET immediately, with release occurring at 7.3V. No delay is applied to this function, ensuring instantaneous response to charger faults.
Can AP9101CK6-BXTRG1 be used in 2-cell battery packs?
No - the AP9101CK6-BXTRG1 is designed exclusively for 1-cell Li+ applications. Its voltage detection ranges (e.g., 2.500V–4.375V) and VM-based current sensing assume a single-cell stack. For 2-cell configurations, Diodes offers the AP9211 or AP9221 families with dual-cell voltage monitoring and separate cell-balancing interfaces.
How does the 0V battery charge function operate in AP9101CK6-BXTRG1?
This function is factory-enabled and allows the IC to activate the charge path even when the battery voltage reads 0V due to self-discharge. It does so by internally biasing the CO driver upon detecting a valid charger voltage (>1.2V at VDD), bypassing the normal under-voltage lockout - enabling safe, controlled recharge without manual intervention or external wake-up signals.
