Product details
Overview
AP9101CK-ATTRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-chip lithium-ion battery protection IC for 1-cell packs, featuring overcharge detection at 4.400V ±25mV, overdischarge detection at 2.800V ±35mV, discharge overcurrent detection at 0.150V ±15mV, and integrated 0V battery charge enablement. It drives external N-channel MOSFETs via dedicated CO and DO pins to control charge/discharge paths in portable power tools and Bluetooth headsets.
For engineers reviewing the AP9101CK-ATTRG1 datasheet, AP9101CK-ATTRG1 pinout, AP9101CK-ATTRG1 application, or AP9101CK-ATTRG1 equivalent, this page delivers verified voltage thresholds, fixed-time delay accuracy (±20%), SOT25 package dimensions, CO/DO gate drive capability, and factory-configured auto-release overcharge mode with selectable power-down function.
Technical Context
The AP9101CK-ATTRG1 implements independent analog comparators for VDD–VSS (cell voltage), VM–VSS (current-sense), and VDD–VM (charger overvoltage), each feeding into logic-controlled delay timers. Its internal level-shifting circuitry enables high-side sensing of up to 30V between VDD and VM pins while operating from 1.5V to 5.5V supply.
It integrates fixed detection delays-tCU = 1.0s (overcharge), tDL = 100ms (overdischarge), tDOC = 12ms (discharge overcurrent), tSHORT = 400µs (short-circuit)-with ±20% accuracy at +25°C and ±40% across –40°C to +85°C. The device supports both power-down mode (0.1µA standby) and auto-wake-up operation without external capacitors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Overcharge Detection Voltage | 4.400V ±25mV - triggers CO pin low after 1.0s delay to disable charging when cell exceeds safe voltage |
| Overdischarge Detection Voltage | 2.800V ±35mV - asserts DO pin low after 100ms delay to halt discharge before deep depletion |
| Discharge Overcurrent Threshold | 0.150V ±15mV - detects excessive load current via VM–VSS drop and disables discharge path |
| 0V Battery Charge Enable | Factory-enabled - allows charger to initiate recovery of fully depleted cells down to 0V |
| Supply Current (Operation) | 3.0µA typical at +25°C - enables multi-year runtime in always-on battery management systems |
| VDD–VM Absolute Max | 30V - supports high-voltage chargers and reverse-polarity transient tolerance |
| Package | SOT25 - 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm footprint compatible with automated PCB assembly |
Pinout & Package

| VDD | Positive supply input | Connects to battery positive terminal; powers internal circuitry and provides reference for all voltage detectors |
| VSS | Negative supply ground | System ground reference for VDD, VM, CO, and DO; forms return path for protection logic |
| DO | Discharge control output | Drives gate of external N-MOSFET in discharge path; high = ON, low = OFF during overdischarge or overcurrent |
| CO | Charge control output | Drives gate of external N-MOSFET in charge path; high = ON, low = OFF during overcharge, overvoltage charger, or charge overcurrent |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar lithium-ion battery protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5460K001C-TR | Fixed 4.25V overcharge threshold; no 0V charge enable; SOT23-6 package | Lacks configurable thresholds and 0V recovery - suitable only for cost-sensitive, non-recoverable consumer packs | Select only if design requires strict 4.25V cutoff and accepts inability to revive 0V cells |
| BD14000FVJ-CE2 | Integrated charge/discharge MOSFETs; higher 5.5µA operating current; 2.7V overdischarge threshold | Eliminates external FETs but increases thermal load; less aggressive low-voltage cutoff than AP9101CK-ATTRG1's 2.800V | Choose when board space is critical and 2.7V overdischarge tolerance is acceptable for primary cells |
Compared with R5460K001C-TR and BD14000FVJ-CE2, the AP9101CK-ATTRG1 uniquely combines factory-programmed 4.400V/2.800V thresholds, 0V charge enablement, and ultra-low 3.0µA operation in SOT25-making it optimal for high-reliability, field-recoverable 1-cell Li+ systems where precision and longevity are prioritized over integration density.

FAQ
What is the function of the VM pin on the AP9101CK-ATTRG1?
The VM pin serves as the current-sense input that monitors the voltage difference between the battery's P– node and system ground. It directly measures the voltage drop across an external sense resistor (R2) to detect discharge overcurrent, charge overcurrent, and short-circuit conditions. Its internal RVMS and RVMD resistors enable automatic state-dependent biasing during protection events, eliminating need for external pull-up/down networks.
Does the AP9101CK-ATTRG1 support automatic recovery from overdischarge?
Yes-the AP9101CK-ATTRG1 uses auto-release overcharge protection mode and supports overdischarge recovery via either charger connection or battery voltage rise above the 3.000V overdischarge release threshold (VDU). When 0V battery charge is enabled, it also permits recovery from true 0V states upon charger application, making it suitable for sealed devices with no user-serviceable battery access.
How does the AP9101CK-ATTRG1 handle charger overvoltage events?
The AP9101CK-ATTRG1 continuously monitors the voltage between VDD and VM pins. If this exceeds the fixed 8.0V overvoltage charger detection threshold, it immediately pulls the CO pin low to disable the charge MOSFET-no delay timer applies. Recovery occurs when the VDD–VM voltage falls below the 7.3V release threshold, restoring charge path functionality without hysteresis or timing constraints.
Can the AP9101CK-ATTRG1 be used with lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) cells?
No-the AP9101CK-ATTRG1 is configured for lithium-ion/lithium-polymer chemistry with a 4.400V overcharge threshold and 2.800V overdischarge threshold, which do not align with LiFePO₄'s 3.65V max charge and 2.0V–2.5V discharge range. Using it with LiFePO₄ would result in premature overcharge cutoff or insufficient overdischarge protection; a dedicated LiFePO₄ protector like the AP9211 series is required.
