Product details
Overview
AP9214LA-AI-HSB-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-chip Li+ battery protection IC integrating dual N-channel MOSFETs (RSS(ON) ≤16 mΩ), overcharge/overdischarge voltage detection (±25 mV accuracy), discharge overcurrent sensing (±15 mV), and short-circuit protection with 1 μs response. It operates in 1-cell Li-ion packs for portable power tools, Bluetooth headsets, and medical wearables.
For engineers reviewing the AP9214LA-AI-HSB-7 datasheet, AP9214LA-AI-HSB-7 pinout, AP9214LA-AI-HSB-7 application, or AP9214LA-AI-HSB-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include selectable power-down mode, 0V battery charge enable, auto-release vs latch overcharge behavior, and U-DFN2535-6 (Type B, Option 1) thermal pad layout requirements.
Technical Context
The AP9214LA-AI-HSB-7 implements dual independent protection paths: one for charging (controlled via S2/VM) and one for discharging (controlled via S1/VM), each with dedicated voltage and current thresholds. Its internal logic uses fixed delay timers (±20% accuracy at +25°C) and level-shifted gate drivers to control the common-drain MOSFET pair without external components.
It features factory-configurable options: Power-Down Mode disabled (Auto-Wake-Up), Overcharge Protection Mode set to Auto Release, and 0V Battery Charge enabled. The VM pin serves as bidirectional current-sense input with internal pull-up (RVMD ≈300 kΩ) and pull-down (RVMS ≈30 kΩ) resistors for state-dependent biasing during fault recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Operating Range | 1.5 V to 5.5 V - supports full Li+ cell voltage range (2.5–4.35 V) with margin for transient spikes. |
| Overcharge Detection Voltage | 4.250 V ±25 mV - precise cutoff at standard Li+ termination voltage, preventing cell degradation. |
| Discharge Overcurrent Threshold | 0.100 V ±15 mV - enables accurate current limiting using low-value sense resistor (e.g., 10 mΩ yields 10 A trip point). |
| Quiescent Current (Normal) | 3.0 µA typ @ +25°C - extends shelf life of dormant battery packs without compromising responsiveness. |
| MOSFET RSS(ON) | 13 mΩ max @ VDD = 4.0 V - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating during 8 A continuous discharge (per Absolute Max rating). |
| Short-Circuit Response Time | 1.0 µs typ - detects hard shorts before wire fusing or cell venting occurs. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for consumer and industrial portable equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
AP9214LA-AI-HSB-7 is housed in a thermally enhanced U-DFN2535-6 (Type B, Option 1) package with exposed drain thermal pad (EP). The 2.5 mm × 3.5 mm footprint supports high-density PCB layouts while enabling efficient heat dissipation through the EP pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (S1) | Discharge MOSFET Source | Connects directly to battery negative terminal; carries full load current during discharge. |
| 2 (VSS) | Negative Supply Reference | Ground reference for all internal comparators and logic; must be low-impedance return path. |
| 3 (VDD) | Positive Supply Input | Connected to battery positive via R1 (330–470 Ω); powers internal circuitry and gate drivers. |
| 4 (NC) | No Connect | Pin left floating; no internal connection - must not be soldered or tied to any net. |
| 5 (S2) | Charge MOSFET Source | Connects to charger negative input; isolates charger during overvoltage or overcurrent faults. |
| 6 (VM) | Current-Sense & Charger Monitor | Bidirectional sense node: measures discharge current (S1→VM), charge current (S2→VM), and charger voltage (VDD–VM). |
| EP | Common Drain Thermal Pad | Internally tied to both MOSFET drains; requires large copper pour for thermal management and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Dual N-Channel MOSFETs | Eliminates discrete FETs and gate drivers, reducing BOM count by ≥4 components and PCB area by >30%. |
| Selectable 0V Battery Charge | Enables safe recharge of deeply discharged cells (0 V) without requiring external wake-up circuitry. |
| Auto-Wake-Up Mode | Recovers from overdischarge without charger present-battery voltage rising above VDU (>2.5 V) triggers automatic reset after tDLR delay. |
| Fixed Delay Timers | On-chip timing eliminates external RC networks for overcharge (tCU), overdischarge (tDL), and short-circuit (tSHORT) detection. |
| Overvoltage Charger Detection | Monitors VDD–VM up to 10.5 V (±2 V accuracy) to disable charging if adapter exceeds safe limits-no external Zener required. |
Applications
| Power Tools | Wireless Headsets |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Cordless drill operating at 15–20 A peak discharge with intermittent high-temp operation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary protection controller monitoring cell voltage, discharge current, and short-circuit events in real time. Use Value: 13 mΩ RSS(ON) limits I²R heating at 20 A to <5.2 W, while 1 µs short detection prevents MOSFET avalanche failure. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seiko Instruments S-8261AAL-M6T1U | Fixed 4.25 V overcharge threshold; no 0V charge option; 5.5 µA typical quiescent current. | Lacks auto-wake-up and programmable overcharge hysteresis; suitable only for cost-sensitive non-recovery designs. | Select when lowest BOM cost is prioritized over field recovery capability and precision hysteresis tuning. |
| Ricoh RP502K001B-TR-F | Separate charge/discharge FET control; 2.5 µA quiescent current; no overvoltage charger detection. | Requires external overvoltage protection; supports higher discharge current (12 A) but lacks short-circuit sub-microsecond response. | Choose for high-current applications where charger overvoltage risk is mitigated externally and faster short detection is unnecessary. |
Compared with S-8261AAL-M6T1U and RP502K001B-TR-F, the AP9214LA-AI-HSB-7 uniquely integrates overvoltage charger monitoring, 0V charge enable, and 1 µs short-circuit response in a single U-DFN package-making it optimal for compact, field-serviceable, and safety-certifiable designs.

FAQ
What is the function of the NC pin (Pin 4) on AP9214LA-AI-HSB-7?
Pin 4 is designated NC (No Connect) and has no internal connection. It must remain unconnected and floating-soldering it to ground, VDD, or any other net may cause malfunction or damage. This pin exists solely for mechanical symmetry in the U-DFN2535-6 (Type B, Option 1) package layout.
How does the AP9214LA-AI-HSB-7 handle 0V battery charging?
The AP9214LA-AI-HSB-7 includes factory-enabled 0V battery charge functionality. When the cell voltage is 0 V, the IC permits charging current to flow once the charger applies voltage, provided V0CHA ≥1.2 V is met. This avoids permanent lockout due to deep self-discharge and eliminates need for external wake-up circuitry.
Can AP9214LA-AI-HSB-7 be used with lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) cells?
No. The AP9214LA-AI-HSB-7 is calibrated for Li+ chemistry with overcharge detection range of 3.5–4.5 V and overdischarge range of 2.0–3.4 V. LiFePO₄ cells have lower nominal voltage (3.2 V) and different protection thresholds (e.g., 3.65 V max charge), making this device incompatible without external voltage scaling-unsupported per datasheet.
What thermal design guidance applies to the EP pad?
The EP pad is electrically connected to both MOSFET drains and must be soldered to a minimum 25 mm² copper area on the PCB's inner or bottom layer. Use ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) under the pad, filled or capped, connecting to solid ground or power planes to maintain junction temperature below +150°C at 7.1 A continuous current.
