Product details
Overview
AP9214L-AA-HSB-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-chip Li+ battery protection IC integrating dual N-channel MOSFETs (RSS(ON) = 13 mΩ typ at VDD = 4.0 V) and precision voltage/current detection circuitry for 1-cell rechargeable battery packs. It provides overcharge (3.5–4.5 V, ±25 mV), overdischarge (2.0–3.4 V, ±35 mV), discharge/charge overcurrent (±15 mV), short-circuit (±100 mV), and overvoltage charger (8.0 V fixed, ±2 V) protection with built-in delay timers and 0V charge enable.
For engineers reviewing the AP9214L-AA-HSB-7 datasheet, AP9214L-AA-HSB-7 pinout, AP9214L-AA-HSB-7 application in portable power systems, or AP9214L-AA-HSB-7 equivalent for battery pack safety IC selection, this page delivers verified functional specifications, validated pin assignments for U-DFN2535-6 (Type B, Option 1), real-world protection timing behavior, and direct substitution guidance against industry-standard alternatives.
Technical Context
The AP9214L-AA-HSB-7 implements dual independent protection paths: one for charging (controlled via S2/VM/VDD sensing) and one for discharging (controlled via S1/VM/VSS sensing), each with dedicated voltage thresholds and configurable hysteresis. Its internal logic uses high-voltage CMOS process (30 V VDD–VM) to directly interface with battery terminals without external level shifters.
It embeds two ultra-low RSS(ON) N-MOSFETs sharing a common drain (EP pad), enabling bidirectional current control with minimal conduction loss. Detection delays (e.g., tCU = 1.0 s typ, ±20% accuracy) are fixed on-die, eliminating external RC components while maintaining precise fault response timing across -40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Range | 1.5–5.5 V: Supports full Li+ cell voltage range including deep discharge recovery and partial charge states. |
| RSS(ON) (Discharge) | 13 mΩ typ @ VDD = 4.0 V: Limits I²R loss to <120 mW at 3 A continuous discharge, reducing thermal stress. |
| Overcharge Detection | 3.50 V ±25 mV (AA grade): Matches standard Li+ termination voltage with tight tolerance to prevent cell degradation. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.0 µA typ in normal mode; 0.1 µA max in power-down: Enables multi-year shelf life in battery-powered IoT devices. |
| Short-Circuit Response | tSHORT = 200 µs typ (±20%): Shuts down within 0.2 ms of VM ≥ 0.45 V, preventing catastrophic thermal runaway. |
| 0V Charge Enable | Factory-configured "Available" (V0CHA = 1.2 V min): Allows safe reactivation of deeply discharged cells without manual intervention. |
| Package | U-DFN2535-6 (Type B, Option 1): 2.5 × 3.5 mm footprint with exposed drain pad (EP) for efficient PCB heat sinking. |
Pinout & Package
AP9214L-AA-HSB-7 is housed in a 6-pin U-DFN2535-6 (Type B) package with exposed thermal pad (EP). Pin-Out Option 1 (HSB suffix) places NC on pin 5 and VM on pin 4 - critical for correct PCB layout and current-sense resistor routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| S1 | Source of discharge MOSFET | Connects directly to battery negative terminal; carries full load current during discharge. |
| VSS | Negative supply reference | Ground return path for internal logic and voltage comparators; must be low-impedance. |
| VDD | Positive supply input | Connected to battery positive via R1 (330–470 Ω); powers protection logic and gate drivers. |
| VM | Current-sense and charger monitor node | Measures voltage drop across R2 to detect charge/discharge current and charger presence. |
| NC | No-connect terminal | Must remain unconnected and floating; no trace or copper should contact this pad. |
| EP | Common drain of both MOSFETs | Thermal pad tied to PCB ground plane; primary heat dissipation path for 9 A continuous current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated dual N-MOSFETs | Eliminates need for external discrete FETs and gate drivers, reducing BOM count by ≥4 components. |
| Configurable overcharge release | Auto-release mode enables automatic resumption of charging after voltage drops below VCL, avoiding manual reset. |
| Built-in fixed delay timers | Removes external RC networks for tCU, tDL, tDOC, etc., improving layout simplicity and production yield. |
| Power-down mode selection | Reduces standby current to 0.1 µA max, extending shelf life in sealed battery packs awaiting activation. |
| Overvoltage charger detection | Monitors VDD–VM up to 24 V and shuts off charge path at 8.0 V ±2 V, protecting against faulty chargers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 1-cell Li+ battery protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| R5460N208AA-TR | Single-MOSFET architecture; requires external discharge FET; 2.0 V overdischarge threshold fixed (no programmability). | Lacks integrated dual-FET solution; higher board area and thermal design complexity. | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs integration benefit and 2.0 V fixed VDL meets system requirements. |
| SE9011A-0000-00000 | Higher quiescent current (5 µA typ); no 0V charge function; ±50 mV overdischarge accuracy vs. ±35 mV. | Reduced shelf-life margin and less reliable recovery from deep discharge events. | Select when legacy qualification or specific distributor inventory mandates use, but verify long-term reliability impact. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous discharge current supported by AP9214L-AA-HSB-7?
The device supports 9.0 A continuous drain current at +25°C with VGS = 4.5 V, verified under JEDEC High-K board conditions. Derating applies above +25°C: 7.1 A at +70°C. This rating assumes proper PCB copper area on the EP pad for thermal dissipation and operation within recommended VDD (1.5–5.5 V) and ambient temperature (-40°C to +85°C) ranges.
Does AP9214L-AA-HSB-7 require external resistors for basic operation?
Yes - R1 (330–470 Ω) between VDD and battery positive, and R2 (300–4 kΩ, typical 2.7 kΩ) between P- and VM are mandatory for stable supply and current sensing. These resistors also serve as reverse-polarity protection elements. Omitting them risks improper voltage regulation, inaccurate current detection, and potential latch-up during polarity reversal events.
How does the power-down mode affect system behavior during overdischarge?
In power-down mode (enabled by default in HSB-7), the IC enters deep sleep (<0.1 µA) upon overdischarge detection and remains latched until a charger is connected. Unlike auto-wake-up variants, it cannot self-recover via voltage rise alone - charger presence is required to restore normal operation, ensuring zero parasitic drain during storage.
Can AP9214L-AA-HSB-7 be used with lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO₄) cells?
No - its overcharge detection range (3.5–4.5 V) and overdischarge range (2.0–3.4 V) are calibrated for standard Li+ chemistry (3.0–4.2 V nominal). LiFePO₄ cells operate at 2.5–3.65 V and would trigger premature overdischarge cutoff or fail to activate overcharge protection. Use a dedicated LiFePO₄ protector such as AP9221 series instead.
