Product details
Overview
AP9101CK-BHTRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-chip lithium-ion battery protection IC for 1-cell packs, featuring overcharge detection at 4.425 V ±25 mV, overdischarge detection at 2.500 V ±35 mV, and discharge overcurrent detection at 0.150 V ±15 mV. It integrates fixed delay timing, 0V battery charge enable, and selectable power-down mode, and is used in portable power tools and medical handheld devices requiring precise cell-level safety control.
For engineers reviewing the AP9101CK-BHTRG1 datasheet, AP9101CK-BHTRG1 pinout, AP9101CK-BHTRG1 application, or AP9101CK-BHTRG1 equivalent, this page delivers verified voltage thresholds, MOSFET gate drive behavior, SOT25 package mapping, and real-world protection timing values - all confirmed from Diodes' official DS37771 Rev. 8-3 datasheet.
Technical Context
The AP9101CK-BHTRG1 implements dual-MOSFET control via separate CO (charge) and DO (discharge) gate outputs, with independent voltage and current fault detection paths. Its internal logic uses VM–VSS differential sensing for current monitoring and VDD–VSS for cell voltage, enabling simultaneous overcharge, overdischarge, and overcurrent protection without external capacitors.
It supports auto-release overcharge protection and includes an overvoltage charger detection circuit (8.0 V ±2 V) that directly disables CO without delay. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C with supply voltage from 1.5 V to 5.5 V and features high-voltage tolerance (up to 30 V between VDD and VM pins) using Diodes' high-voltage CMOS process.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Overcharge Detection Voltage | 4.425 V ±25 mV - triggers CO shutdown when cell voltage exceeds threshold for ≥tCU (typ. 1.0 s) |
| Overdischarge Detection Voltage | 2.500 V ±35 mV - initiates DO shutdown during discharge if cell drops below threshold for ≥tDL (typ. 100 ms) |
| Discharge Overcurrent Threshold | 0.150 V ±15 mV - detects excessive load current via VM–VSS sense voltage, disabling DO after tDOC (typ. 12 ms) |
| Supply Current (Operation) | 3.0 µA typ. at +25°C - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-powered systems with long standby life |
| Power-Down Current | 0.01 µA typ. - reduces system quiescent draw during storage or deep sleep states |
| 0V Battery Charge Function | Enabled - allows safe recharging of fully depleted cells (0 V) using external charger |
| Package | SOT25 - 5-pin surface-mount package with 0.95 mm pitch, optimized for compact battery pack PCB layouts |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5460N255AA-TR | Fixed 4.25 V overcharge threshold; no 0V charge function; SOT23-6 package | Lacks configurable VCU/VCL and 0V recovery - suitable only for legacy 4.2 V nominal cells | Choose only if design requires strict 4.25 V OCV clamp and space permits SOT23-6 footprint |
| BD14000FVJ-E2 | Integrated charge/discharge MOSFETs; higher 5.5 µA operating current; 4.20 V fixed OCV | Monolithic solution eliminates external FETs but increases thermal load and reduces flexibility in current rating selection | Prefer when board area is critical and external MOSFET layout complexity must be avoided |
Compared with R5460N255AA-TR and BD14000FVJ-E2, the AP9101CK-BHTRG1 offers programmable voltage thresholds, guaranteed 0V charge support, and lower operating current - making it optimal for next-generation 4.4 V Li+ cells where precision, recovery capability, and standby efficiency are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the function of the VM pin on the AP9101CK-BHTRG1?
The VM pin serves as the current-sense input referenced to VSS. It monitors the voltage drop across an external sense resistor to detect discharge overcurrent, charge overcurrent, and short-circuit conditions. Its internal resistance network (RVMS/RVMD) enables automatic status-dependent biasing during fault modes, eliminating need for external switching circuitry.
Does AP9101CK-BHTRG1 support automatic recovery from overdischarge?
Yes - the "BH" suffix indicates factory-configured auto-wake-up mode. When the battery voltage rises above the overdischarge release voltage (2.900 V), the device automatically exits overdischarge state and re-enables DO output without requiring external charger connection or manual reset.
Can AP9101CK-BHTRG1 be used with 4.35 V or 4.4 V Li+ cells?
Yes - its overcharge detection voltage is factory-set to 4.425 V with ±25 mV accuracy, making it compatible with modern high-voltage Li+ chemistries. The 5 mV step resolution and tight tolerance ensure safe operation without premature cutoff or unsafe overcharge exposure.
How does the overvoltage charger protection work on AP9101CK-BHTRG1?
It continuously monitors voltage between VDD and VM pins. If this exceeds 8.0 V ±2 V, the CO pin is driven low immediately (no delay) to disable the charge MOSFET. Recovery occurs when voltage falls below 7.3 V ±2 V, restoring charge path functionality without user intervention.
