Product details
Overview
AP9101CK-AYTRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-chip lithium-ion battery protection IC for 1-cell packs, featuring overcharge detection at 4.280V ±25mV, overdischarge detection at 2.800V ±35mV, discharge overcurrent detection at 0.100V ±15mV, and built-in fixed delay timing with no external capacitor required. It controls external N-channel MOSFETs via DO (discharge gate) and CO (charge gate) to enforce safety limits in portable power tools and Bluetooth headsets.
For engineers reviewing the AP9101CK-AYTRG1 datasheet, AP9101CK-AYTRG1 pinout, AP9101CK-AYTRG1 application, or AP9101CK-AYTRG1 equivalent, this device supports precise voltage threshold selection, selectable 0V battery charge function, auto-release overcharge protection mode, and operates across –40°C to +85°C with ultra-low 3.0µA typical operating current.
Technical Context
The AP9101CK-AYTRG1 integrates high-accuracy analog comparators for six independent protection conditions-overcharge, overdischarge, discharge/charge overcurrent, short-circuit, and overvoltage charger-with ±25mV to ±100mV accuracy depending on condition. Its internal logic enforces strict state transitions: overcharge triggers CO low after 1.0s tCU delay (±20%), while short-circuit detection responds in ≤1.4µs tSHORT (±20%).
It uses a high-voltage CMOS process enabling 30V VDD-to-VM tolerance, supports dual operation modes (power-down or auto-wake-up), and includes factory-configurable options including 0V battery charge enable and overcharge release behavior-all without external timing components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Overcharge Detection Voltage | 4.280V ±25mV - sets precise upper cell voltage limit before disabling charge path |
| Overdischarge Detection Voltage | 2.800V ±35mV - prevents deep discharge damage by cutting discharge path at defined low-voltage threshold |
| Discharge Overcurrent Threshold | 0.100V ±15mV - detects excessive load current via sense resistor voltage drop, triggering DO low |
| Operating Current (Typ) | 3.0µA at VDD=3.5V - enables multi-year runtime in battery-powered standby systems |
| Power-Down Current (Typ) | 0.01µA - reduces leakage during storage or transport when battery is disconnected |
| VDD–VM Absolute Max | 30V - withstands transient charger spikes without latch-up or damage |
| 0V Battery Charge | Enabled - allows safe reactivation of fully depleted cells using external charger |
Pinout & Package
AP9101CK-AYTRG1 is packaged in SOT25 (5-pin) with lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction. Pin 1 marked with dot; pinout matches standard SOT25 top-view orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VM | Current Sense Input | Monitors voltage drop across external sense resistor to detect charge/discharge overcurrent and short-circuit events |
| VDD | Positive Supply Input | Connects to battery positive terminal; powers internal circuitry and drives CO/DO gate outputs |
| VSS | Negative Supply Reference | Ground reference for all internal comparators and logic; tied to battery negative |
| DO | Discharge Control Output | Drives gate of external discharge MOSFET; goes low to disable discharge path during overdischarge or overcurrent |
| CO | Charge Control Output | Drives gate of external charge MOSFET; goes low to disable charge path during overcharge, overvoltage charger, or charge overcurrent |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed Delay Timing | No external capacitor needed - eliminates BOM cost and layout sensitivity for tCU/tDL/tDOC delays |
| Selectable Power-Down Mode | Factory-configured option enables <0.01µA sleep current for long-term storage without self-discharge acceleration |
| 0V Battery Charge Function | Permits safe recharge initiation even when cell voltage drops to 0V due to shelf depletion |
| Overvoltage Charger Detection | 8.0V ±2V threshold protects against faulty chargers by disabling CO immediately upon overvoltage event |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5460N282AD-TR | Fixed 2.8V overdischarge threshold only; no programmable VCU/VDL; requires external capacitor for delay timing | Lacks 0V charge enable and overvoltage charger detection; suitable only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs | Choose if BOM simplification outweighs precision and feature flexibility |
| BD7502FJ-E2 | Higher 5.5V max VDD; ±50mV overcharge accuracy; no selectable power-down mode; 1.5µA typical ICC | Supports wider supply range but omits 0V charge and overvoltage charger monitoring functions | Prefer when system operates near 5V rail and ultra-low sleep current is not required |
Compared with R5460N282AD-TR and BD7502FJ-E2, AP9101CK-AYTRG1 delivers tighter voltage thresholds, integrated timing, and configurable safety features-enabling robust protection in space-constrained, long-life consumer and industrial battery packs without external timing components or firmware intervention.

FAQ
What is the function of the VM pin on AP9101CK-AYTRG1?
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 ground. It enables detection of discharge overcurrent, charge overcurrent, and short-circuit conditions by comparing the VM–VSS voltage against internal thresholds like VDOC (0.100V) and VSHORT (0.500V), with response times as fast as 1.4µs.
Does AP9101CK-AYTRG1 support overvoltage protection for the charger input?
Yes. The device includes a dedicated overvoltage charger detection circuit monitoring the VDD–VM differential. When this voltage exceeds 8.0V (±2V), the CO pin is driven low immediately-without delay-to disable the charge MOSFET. Release occurs when the differential falls below 7.3V (±2V), also with no delay, providing direct hardware-level protection against faulty or mismatched chargers.
How does the 0V battery charge function operate in AP9101CK-AYTRG1?
This function is factory-enabled and allows the IC to activate charging even when the connected Li+ cell has fully self-discharged to 0V. Upon charger connection, the device wakes and permits current flow through the CO-controlled MOSFET once the charger voltage exceeds 1.2V, enabling safe recovery without manual intervention or external reset circuitry.
Can AP9101CK-AYTRG1 be used in automotive applications?
No. While the device operates across –40°C to +85°C and meets RoHS/Green standards, it is not qualified to AEC-Q100 or manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities. Diodes Incorporated explicitly states that automotive-grade variants require separate qualification and PPAP documentation-this part is intended for industrial, medical, and consumer portable electronics only.
