Product details
Overview
AP9101CK-AZTRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-chip lithium-ion/polymer 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 charge and selectable power-down mode.
For engineers reviewing the AP9101CK-AZTRG1 datasheet, AP9101CK-AZTRG1 pinout, AP9101CK-AZTRG1 application, or AP9101CK-AZTRG1 equivalent, this device is selected for compact, low-power, high-accuracy battery safety in portable medical devices, power tools, and Bluetooth headsets where precise voltage thresholds and ultra-low quiescent current (3.0 µA typ) are critical.
Technical Context
The AP9101CK-AZTRG1 integrates independent voltage comparators for overcharge (VCU = 4.375 V), overdischarge (VDL = 2.500 V), and overvoltage charger (VOVCHG = 8.0 V), each with configurable hysteresis and ±25–±100 mV accuracy. Its logic circuit drives CO and DO outputs to control charge/discharge FETs based on real-time VM–VSS differential sensing and VDD–VSS battery voltage monitoring.
It implements fixed internal delay timers (tCU = 1.0 s typ, tDL = 128 ms typ, tDOC = 16 ms typ, tSHORT = 8 µs typ) with ±20% accuracy at +25°C and supports dual operating modes: power-down (0.01 µA typ) and auto-wake-up. The VM pin interfaces directly to the battery pack's sense node between P− and the discharge current-sense resistor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seiko Instruments S-8261AAL-M6T1U | Fixed 4.25 V overcharge threshold; no 0V charge function; requires external capacitor for delay timing | Lacks programmable thresholds and integrated short-circuit detection; suited only for cost-sensitive, non-recoverable packs | Choose only if fixed 4.25 V OCV and absence of 0V charge are acceptable; higher BOM count due to external timing cap |

FAQ
What is the function of the VM pin on AP9101CK-AZTRG1?
The VM pin serves as the current-sense input terminal, measuring the voltage difference between the battery's P− node and the discharge current-sense resistor's low-side end. It enables detection of discharge overcurrent, charge overcurrent, and short-circuit conditions by comparing VM–VSS against internal thresholds (e.g., 0.150 V for discharge overcurrent). Internal RVMS and RVMD resistors provide controlled biasing during fault states.
Does AP9101CK-AZTRG1 support both charge and discharge MOSFET control?
Yes. AP9101CK-AZTRG1 provides independent gate drive outputs: CO (Charge Output) controls the gate of the charge-path N-MOSFET, and DO (Discharge Output) controls the gate of the discharge-path N-MOSFET. Each output switches between high-impedance and low-level states to enable or disable its respective FET, supporting full bidirectional protection including overcharge, overdischarge, and overcurrent in both directions.
How does the 0V battery charge function operate?
The 0V battery charge function is factory-enabled in AP9101CK-AZTRG1 and allows the IC to exit power-down mode when a charger applies voltage-even if the battery voltage reads 0 V due to self-discharge. Once VDD rises above 1.2 V, the device activates and permits charging current flow through the CO-controlled FET, enabling full recovery without manual reset or external wake-up circuitry.
What is the maximum allowable voltage between VDD and VM pins?
The absolute maximum rating for VDD-to-VM voltage is 30 V, enabled by Diodes' high-voltage CMOS process. This withstand capability protects the IC against transient overvoltage events during charger connection/disconnection, reverse polarity attempts, or inductive kickback in high-current battery systems-ensuring robust operation beyond typical 5 V or 12 V charger rails.
