Product details
Overview
AP9101CK-BATRG1 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 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 functionality.
For engineers reviewing the AP9101CK-BATRG1 datasheet, AP9101CK-BATRG1 pinout, AP9101CK-BATRG1 application, or AP9101CK-BATRG1 equivalent, this device serves as a precision, low-quiescent-current (3.0µA typ) protection solution for portable Li+ power systems requiring stable voltage thresholds, configurable power-down mode, and integrated overvoltage charger monitoring up to 30V between VDD and VM.
Technical Context
The AP9101CK-BATRG1 implements independent analog comparators for overcharge, overdischarge, discharge/charge overcurrent, short-circuit, and overvoltage charger conditions, each with user-selectable thresholds and hysteresis. Its logic circuit enforces auto-release behavior after threshold recovery and includes internal resistance networks (RVMD/RVMS) for VM pin biasing during fault states.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C with supply voltage from 1.5V to 5.5V and supports dual package options: SOT25 (5-pin) and SOT26 (6-pin, NC on Pin 4). The device uses high-voltage CMOS process technology enabling 30V absolute maximum rating between VDD and VM pins, critical for robust charger-side sensing in 1-cell applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Overcharge Detection Voltage | 4.375V ±25mV - sets precise upper cell voltage limit before disabling charge path |
| Overdischarge Detection Voltage | 2.500V ±35mV - prevents deep discharge damage to Li+ cell anode structure |
| Discharge Overcurrent Threshold | 0.150V ±15mV - detects excessive load current via sense resistor voltage drop |

FAQ
What is the function of the VM pin on AP9101CK-BATRG1?
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 between the battery's P– terminal and load/charger. Internal resistors RVMD and RVMS automatically bias VM during fault recovery to ensure correct CO/DO state transitions.
Does AP9101CK-BATRG1 support automatic recovery from overdischarge?
Yes-AP9101CK-BATRG1 supports auto-release from overdischarge status when battery voltage rises above the overdischarge release voltage (2.900V) and remains there for the configured delay time. Recovery does not require external intervention unless power-down mode is enabled, in which case charger connection is mandatory.
Can AP9101CK-BATRG1 be used in 2-cell battery configurations?
No-AP9101CK-BATRG1 is designed exclusively for 1-cell Li+ or Li-polymer batteries. Its voltage detection ranges (e.g., 2.500V–4.375V), VM pin voltage rating relative to VSS, and internal logic are optimized for single-cell operation. For 2-cell applications, Diodes offers the AP9211 or AP9221 series.
How does the overvoltage charger detection feature work?
The overvoltage charger detection circuit continuously monitors voltage between VDD and VM pins. If this differential exceeds 8.0V (±2V), the CO pin is driven low immediately-without delay-to disable the charge MOSFET. When the differential falls below 7.3V (±2V), CO returns high to resume charging. This protects against faulty or mismatched chargers.
