Product details
Overview
AP9101CK-BZTRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-chip lithium-ion/polymer battery protection IC designed for 1-cell packs. It integrates overcharge (4.375V), overdischarge (2.500V), discharge/charge overcurrent (0.150V / −0.150V), short-circuit (0.700V), and overvoltage charger (8.0V) detection with ±25mV voltage accuracy and built-in fixed delay timing. It drives external N-channel MOSFETs via CO and DO pins in portable power tools and Bluetooth headsets.
For engineers reviewing the AP9101CK-BZTRG1 datasheet, AP9101CK-BZTRG1 pinout, AP9101CK-BZTRG1 application, or AP9101CK-BZTRG1 equivalent, this device supports precise 1-cell Li+ pack safety control with selectable 0V charge and power-down mode, low 3.0µA operating current, SOT25 packaging, and RoHS/Green compliance.
Technical Context
The AP9101CK-BZTRG1 implements independent voltage and current monitoring paths: VDD–VSS sensing for cell voltage thresholds (VCU = 4.375V, VDL = 2.500V), and VM–VSS differential sensing for discharge/charge overcurrent (VDOC = 0.150V, VCOC = −0.150V) and short-circuit (VSHORT = 0.700V). Its logic circuit enforces auto-release overcharge protection and uses internal RVMD/RVMS resistors (300kΩ/30kΩ typ) to bias VM during fault states.
It features fixed detection delays (tCU = 1.0s typ, tDOC = 12ms typ, tSHORT = 10µs typ) with ±20% accuracy at +25°C, operates from 1.5V to 5.5V supply, tolerates up to 30V between VDD and VM, and supports factory-configured 0V battery charge enablement and power-down mode selection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

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 VCU = 4.250V, VDL = 2.500V; no overvoltage charger detection; requires external capacitor for delay timing | Lacks 8.0V overvoltage charger monitoring and fixed-delay integration - less suitable for USB PD or multi-adapter environments | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs need for charger voltage supervision and component count reduction |
| Ricoh RP502K001B-TR-F | Lower operating current (1.8µA typ); supports 2-cell configuration; no 0V charge option; different pinout (SOT-26) | Designed for dual-cell stacks and ultra-low-power IoT sensors - not drop-in compatible for 1-cell SOT25 layouts | Prefer for energy-harvesting systems where sub-2µA quiescent current is mandatory and 2-cell topology is acceptable |
Compared with S-8261AAB-M6T1U and RP502K001B-TR-F, AP9101CK-BZTRG1 uniquely combines 8.0V overvoltage charger detection, factory-set thresholds, zero external timing components, and SOT25 footprint - making it optimal for compact, adapter-flexible 1-cell consumer electronics.

FAQ
What is the function of the VM pin on AP9101CK-BZTRG1?
The VM pin serves as the current-sense input terminal, measuring the voltage difference between itself and VSS to detect discharge overcurrent (≥0.150V), charge overcurrent (≤−0.150V), and short-circuit (≥0.700V) conditions. Internally, it connects to RVMS (30kΩ typ) to VSS and RVMD (300kΩ typ) to VDD during fault states to ensure stable biasing and accurate threshold comparison across temperature.
Does AP9101CK-BZTRG1 support automatic recovery from overdischarge?
Yes - AP9101CK-BZTRG1 implements auto-release overdischarge protection. When the battery voltage rises above the overdischarge release voltage (VDU = 2.900V), the DO pin returns high to re-enable the discharge MOSFET. This occurs without requiring external intervention, provided the device is configured in auto-wake-up mode (indicated by 'B' in the suffix), which is standard for this variant.
Can AP9101CK-BZTRG1 be used with 2-cell battery packs?
No - AP9101CK-BZTRG1 is strictly designed for 1-cell lithium-ion/polymer batteries. Its overcharge detection range (up to 4.5V) and absolute maximum VDD–VSS rating (12V) do not support the 8.4V nominal voltage of a 2-cell stack. For 2-cell applications, Diodes offers the AP9211 or AP9221 families, which feature higher voltage thresholds and dual-cell monitoring architecture.
How does the overvoltage charger detection feature work?
The overvoltage charger detection circuit monitors the voltage between VDD and VM pins. If this voltage exceeds 8.0V (±2V), the CO pin is immediately driven low to disable the charge MOSFET - with no delay - protecting against faulty or mismatched chargers. Recovery occurs when the VDD–VM voltage falls below 7.3V (±2V), restoring charge capability without user action.
