Product details
Overview
AP9101CK-BJTRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-chip lithium-ion 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 functionality.
For engineers reviewing the AP9101CK-BJTRG1 datasheet, AP9101CK-BJTRG1 pinout, AP9101CK-BJTRG1 application, or AP9101CK-BJTRG1 equivalent, this device is selected for compact, low-power battery management in portable electronics where precision voltage thresholds, ultra-low quiescent current (3.0 µA typ), and integrated protection logic are critical to safety and runtime.
Technical Context
The AP9101CK-BJTRG1 implements independent voltage and current monitoring paths: VDD–VSS sensing for cell voltage (overcharge/overdischarge), and VM–VSS differential sensing for charge/discharge current (via sense resistor R2). Its logic circuitry uses internal reference trimming and temperature-compensated comparators to maintain accuracy across –40°C to +85°C.
Protection actions are latched with auto-release behavior: overcharge releases when cell voltage drops below 4.175 V, overdischarge releases at 2.900 V, and short-circuit protection resets automatically upon load removal due to RVMS pull-down activation. The device operates with a high-voltage CMOS process enabling up to 30 V between VDD and VM pins.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seiko Instruments S-8261AAB-M6T1U | Fixed 4.25 V overcharge threshold; no 0V charge support; requires external timing capacitor | Lacks factory-configurable 0V charge and fixed-delay architecture - less suitable for sealed consumer devices | Prefer AP9101CK-BJTRG1 when 0V recovery, capacitor-free design, or tighter voltage tolerance (±25 mV vs ±50 mV) is required |
| Ricoh RP502K001B-TR-F | Supports 2-cell configuration only; higher 4.45 V overcharge threshold; no overvoltage charger detection | Designed for dual-cell stacks - incompatible with 1-cell topologies and missing VDD–VM monitoring path | AP9101CK-BJTRG1 is mandatory for single-cell systems requiring 30 V VM–VDD tolerance and integrated charger overvoltage protection |
Compared with S-8261AAB-M6T1U and RP502K001B-TR-F, the AP9101CK-BJTRG1 uniquely combines factory-programmed 0V charge enablement, capacitorless timing, and 30 V VM–VDD rating - making it the only qualified solution for compact, maintenance-free 1-cell Li+ packs demanding full safety autonomy.

FAQ
What is the function of the VM pin on the AP9101CK-BJTRG1?
The VM pin serves as the current-sense input node, measuring voltage drop across an external sense resistor (R2) between the battery's P− terminal and ground. During normal operation, it monitors discharge/charge current magnitude; during faults, internal switches (RVMS/RVMD) connect VM to VSS or VDD to enforce latch-and-reset behavior. Its absolute maximum rating of 30 V enables direct connection to high-side charger rails without attenuation.
Does the AP9101CK-BJTRG1 support automatic recovery from overdischarge?
Yes - the AP9101CK-BJTRG1 implements auto-release overdischarge protection: when battery voltage rises above 2.900 V (VDU), the DO pin returns high to re-enable the discharge MOSFET. This occurs without external intervention, provided the 0V charge function is enabled and no persistent short exists. Recovery is inhibited if VM remains elevated due to load presence, ensuring safe re-engagement only after fault clearance.
How does the AP9101CK-BJTRG1 handle overvoltage conditions on the charger input?
The AP9101CK-BJTRG1 continuously monitors voltage between VDD and VM pins. If this exceeds 8.0 V (±2 V), the CO pin immediately goes low to disable the charge MOSFET - no delay timer applies. When the voltage falls below 7.3 V (±2 V), CO returns high to resume charging. This dedicated overvoltage charger detection path operates independently of cell voltage sensing and requires no external components.
Can the AP9101CK-BJTRG1 be used in automotive applications?
The AP9101CK-BJTRG1 is not AEC-Q100 qualified and is specified for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), not automotive grade (–40°C to +125°C). While its 30 V VM–VDD rating and robust ESD performance (2 kV HBM) suit harsh environments, Diodes Incorporated explicitly states that automotive-grade variants require separate qualification, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing - none of which apply to this part number.
