Product details
Overview
AP9101CK-BDTRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-chip lithium-ion battery protection IC for 1-cell packs, integrating overcharge (4.425 V ±25 mV), overdischarge (2.500 V ±35 mV), discharge overcurrent (0.150 V ±15 mV), charge overcurrent (−0.150 V ±15 mV), and short-circuit (0.700 V ±100 mV) detection with fixed delay timing. It drives external N-channel MOSFETs via CO/DO pins and supports 0V battery charging and selectable power-down mode.
For engineers reviewing the AP9101CK-BDTRG1 datasheet, AP9101CK-BDTRG1 pinout, AP9101CK-BDTRG1 application, or AP9101CK-BDTRG1 equivalent, this device delivers precision voltage thresholds, ultra-low quiescent current (3.0 µA typ in operation, 0.01 µA typ in power-down), high-voltage VM–VDD tolerance (30 V), and SOT25 packaging for compact battery pack integration.
Technical Context
The AP9101CK-BDTRG1 implements independent analog comparators for five fault conditions-overcharge, overdischarge, discharge overcurrent, charge overcurrent, and short circuit-with dedicated hysteresis and fixed internal delay timers (e.g., tCU = 1.0 s typ, tSHORT = 8 µs typ). Its logic circuitry controls CO and DO gate outputs to disable external N-MOSFETs based on real-time VM–VSS and VDD–VSS voltage monitoring.
It features dual internal resistive networks (RVMD = 300 kΩ typ, RVMS = 30 kΩ typ) enabling automatic status recovery during overdischarge or overcurrent events, and includes an overvoltage charger detector (8.0 V ±2 V) between VDD and VM with immediate latch-off behavior and no delay.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery protection IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5460N255AA-TR | Fixed 4.25 V overcharge threshold; no 0V charge function; SOT23-6 package | Lacks configurable thresholds and 0V recovery; suited for cost-sensitive, non-recoverable designs | Choose when fixed thresholds and lower unit cost outweigh programmability and field recovery needs |
| AB1816A-25-T1 | Supports 2-cell stacks; higher VDD max (24 V); no overvoltage charger detection | Designed for multi-cell battery management; not pin-compatible or functionally equivalent for 1S use | Only consider for future 2S expansion; requires PCB redesign and firmware adaptation |

FAQ
What is the function of the VM pin on the AP9101CK-BDTRG1?
The VM pin serves as the current-sense input that monitors the 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. Internally, it connects to RVMD and RVMS resistive networks to support automatic recovery from overdischarge and overcurrent states without external intervention.
Does the AP9101CK-BDTRG1 support overvoltage protection for the charger input?
Yes-the AP9101CK-BDTRG1 includes a dedicated overvoltage charger detection circuit that monitors the voltage between VDD and VM pins. When this voltage exceeds 8.0 V (±2 V), the CO pin immediately goes low to disable the charge MOSFET. Release occurs when the voltage falls below 7.3 V (±2 V), with no built-in delay for either detection or release.
How does the 0V battery charge function operate, and is it enabled on this variant?
The 0V battery charge function is factory-enabled on AP9101CK-BDTRG1, allowing the IC to permit charging even when the battery voltage has dropped to 0 V due to self-discharge. This is implemented via internal logic that overrides the normal overdischarge lockout when a valid charger is detected, enabling safe recovery without manual reset or external circuitry.
Can the AP9101CK-BDTRG1 be used with both N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs in the protection circuit?
The AP9101CK-BDTRG1 is designed exclusively for N-channel MOSFETs in both charge and discharge paths. Its CO and DO outputs drive the gates of N-MOSFETs referenced to VSS, and its internal architecture assumes low-side switching configuration. Driving P-channel devices would require level-shifting circuitry not supported by the IC's output stage or logic design.
