Product details
Overview
AP9101CK-AUTRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-chip lithium-ion battery protection IC for 1-cell packs, featuring overcharge detection at 4.300V ±25mV, overdischarge detection at 2.500V ±35mV, discharge overcurrent detection at 0.100V ±15mV, fixed 8.0V overvoltage charger detection, and selectable power-down mode. It controls external N-channel MOSFETs via DO and CO pins to safeguard against voltage, current, and short-circuit faults in portable power systems.
For engineers reviewing the AP9101CK-AUTRG1 datasheet, AP9101CK-AUTRG1 pinout, AP9101CK-AUTRG1 application, or AP9101CK-AUTRG1 equivalent, this device supports precise, low-power battery management in space-constrained Li+ packs where high-accuracy voltage thresholds, built-in delay timing, and 0V charge capability are required.
Technical Context
The AP9101CK-AUTRG1 integrates independent voltage comparators for VDD–VSS (cell voltage) and VM–VSS (current-sense differential), with dedicated delay timers for each protection event-overcharge (tCU), overdischarge (tDL), discharge overcurrent (tDOC), short circuit (tSHORT), and charge overcurrent (tCOC). All delays are factory-fixed with ±20% accuracy at +25°C.
Its logic circuit uses internal level-shifting to drive CO and DO outputs directly to external MOSFET gates without external drivers; CO controls the charge FET, DO controls the discharge FET, and VM serves as bidirectional current-sense input with internal pull-up/pull-down resistors (RVMD/RVMS) activated conditionally during fault states.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Overcharge Detection Voltage | 4.300V ±25mV - triggers CO pin low after tCU delay to disable charge path when cell voltage exceeds threshold |
| Overdischarge Detection Voltage | 2.500V ±35mV - triggers DO pin low after tDL delay to disable discharge path when cell voltage drops below threshold |
| Discharge Overcurrent Threshold | 0.100V ±15mV - detects excessive load current via VM–VSS voltage drop, initiating tDOC-delayed DO shutdown |
| Short-Circuit Detection Voltage | 0.700V ±100mV - enables ultrafast (sub-microsecond) DO shutdown for hard shorts across battery terminals |
| Operating Current (Typ) | 3.0µA at VDD = 3.5V - enables multi-year runtime in always-on battery pack monitoring without draining cell |
| Power-Down Current (Typ) | 0.01µA - reduces leakage during storage or deep sleep, activated by factory option and external wake-up conditions |
| VM–VDD Input Rating | 30V - supports high-voltage charger interface monitoring without external clamping components |
Pinout & Package

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed-time protection delay circuitry | Eliminates need for external timing capacitors-reduces BOM count and layout area while ensuring consistent response timing across temperature |
| Selectable 0V battery charge function | Enables safe reactivation of deeply discharged cells (0V) using standard chargers, preventing permanent pack discard due to self-discharge |
| Overvoltage charger detection (8.0V) | Monitors VDD–VM to detect faulty or mismatched chargers, disabling charge path instantly without delay to prevent cell damage |
| High-accuracy voltage detection | ±25mV overcharge and ±35mV overdischarge thresholds ensure tight state-of-charge window control without false trips or delayed protection |
| Auto-release overcharge mode | Automatically restores charge path when cell voltage falls below 4.100V (VCL), enabling seamless recovery without manual reset or power cycle |

FAQ
What is the function of the VM pin on AP9101CK-AUTRG1?
The VM pin serves as a bidirectional current-sense input that measures voltage drop across an external sense resistor (R2) to detect discharge overcurrent, charge overcurrent, and short-circuit conditions. It also monitors VDD–VM for overvoltage charger detection. Internal resistors RVMD and RVMS connect conditionally during fault states to stabilize VM voltage and enable accurate release detection.
Does AP9101CK-AUTRG1 support automatic recovery from overdischarge?
Yes-AP9101CK-AUTRG1 supports auto-wake-up from overdischarge status. When the battery voltage rises above the overdischarge release voltage (2.900V), the device automatically exits overdischarge mode and re-enables the DO output without requiring external intervention or charger connection, provided the power-down mode is disabled.
How does the 0V battery charge function operate in AP9101CK-AUTRG1?
The 0V battery charge function is factory-enabled in AP9101CK-AUTRG1. When the battery voltage is 0V, the IC permits the charger to initiate charging once the charger voltage exceeds 1.2V at the VDD pin. This allows recovery of deeply self-discharged cells without manual reset or external circuitry, extending usable battery life in intermittently used devices.
What is the maximum allowable voltage between VDD and VM pins?
The absolute maximum voltage between VDD and VM pins is 30V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating enables direct monitoring of high-voltage chargers (e.g., 12V wall adapters) without external voltage dividers or clamping diodes, simplifying system-level protection architecture.
