Product details
Overview
AP9214LA-AJ-HSBR-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-chip Li+ battery protection IC integrating dual N-channel MOSFETs (RSS(ON) ≤ 16.5 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+ packs for portable power tools, Bluetooth headsets, and medical wearables.
For engineers reviewing the AP9214LA-AJ-HSBR-7 datasheet, AP9214LA-AJ-HSBR-7 pinout, AP9214LA-AJ-HSBR-7 application, or AP9214LA-AJ-HSBR-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include 0V charge enablement, selectable auto-release vs latch overcharge mode, ultra-low 0.1 µA power-down current, and U-DFN2535-6 (Type B, Option 2) thermal pad layout requirements.
Technical Context
The AP9214LA-AJ-HSBR-7 implements independent analog comparators for VDD–VSS (cell voltage), VM–VSS (discharge current), and VDD–VM (charger voltage), each feeding dedicated delay timers (tCU, tDL, tDOC, tSHORT). Its logic circuit controls two integrated N-MOSFETs via level-shifted gate drivers, with common-drain EP pad enabling bidirectional current path control.
It supports factory-configured options: Power-Down Mode disabled (Auto-Wake-Up active), 0V Battery Charge enabled, and Overcharge Protection Mode set to Auto Release. Detection thresholds are fixed per ordering code (AJ = VCU = 4.25 V, VCL = 4.15 V, VDL = 2.80 V, VDU = 3.00 V, VDOC = 0.15 V, VSHORT = 0.55 V, VCOC = −0.10 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.5 V to 5.5 V - supports full Li+ cell voltage range including deep discharge recovery |
| Overcharge Detection Accuracy | ±25 mV at +25°C - enables precise 4.25 V cutoff without external calibration |
| Discharge Overcurrent Threshold | 0.15 V ±15 mV - sets 10 A protection limit with 15 mΩ sense resistor |
| Short-Circuit Response Time | 0.6–1.4 µs - prevents damage during <100 ns fault events |
| Quiescent Current (Normal) | 3.0 µA typ - extends shelf life of sealed battery packs |
| Power-Down Current | 0.1 µA max - sustains >10-year storage without capacity loss |
| MOSFET On-Resistance | 13.5 mΩ typ @ VDD = 3.9 V - limits I²R loss to <140 mW at 6 A continuous |
Pinout & Package
U-DFN2535-6 (Type B, Option 2) package with exposed thermal pad (EP); 2.5 mm × 3.5 mm footprint, 0.5 mm pitch, 0.75 mm height; EP must be connected to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (S1) | Discharge MOSFET Source | Connects directly to battery negative terminal; carries full load current |
| 2 (VSS) | Negative Supply Reference | System ground reference for all internal comparators and logic |
| 3 (VDD) | Positive Supply Input | Connected to battery positive via R1 (330–470 Ω) for ESD and reverse-polarity protection |
| 4 (VM) | Charge/Discharge Current Sense | Monitors voltage drop across R2 (2.7 kΩ typical) between P− and S2 to detect charge/discharge faults |
| 5 (S2) | Charge MOSFET Source | Connects to charger negative input; enables independent charge path control |
| 6 (NC) | No Connect | Must remain floating; no internal connection or function |
| EP | Common Drain Thermal Pad | Shared drain node for both MOSFETs; requires ≥200 mm² copper pour for 1000 mW dissipation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Dual N-MOSFETs | Eliminates 4 external FETs and gate drivers, reducing BOM count by 6 components and PCB area by 25 mm² |
| Factory-Configurable 0V Charge | Enables safe recharge of deeply discharged cells (0 V) without manual pre-charge circuitry |
| Selectably Latched or Auto-Release Overcharge | Prevents uncontrolled recharging after overvoltage event unless user initiates reset or voltage drops below release threshold |
| Built-in Fixed Delay Timers | Removes need for external RC networks-tCU = 1.0 s, tDL = 128 ms, tDOC = 8 ms, tSHORT = 1 µs (all ±20% at +25°C) |
| Overvoltage Charger Detection | Monitors VDD–VM up to 10.5 V to disable charging if adapter exceeds safe 8.0 V threshold |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Li+ battery protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seiko Instruments S-8261AAL-M6T1U | Single-MOSFET architecture; no integrated charge MOSFET; requires external P-FET for charge path | Lacks 0V charge support and overvoltage charger detection; limited to basic discharge-only protection | Choose only when cost sensitivity outweighs functional completeness and safety redundancy |
| Ricoh RP506K001B-TR-F | Higher RSS(ON) (25 mΩ); no factory-programmable options; fixed auto-release overcharge mode only | Cannot support latch-mode overcharge protection required for UL 2054 compliance in some power banks | Select when design mandates AEC-Q200 qualification (RP506K is automotive-grade; AP9214L is industrial) |
Compared with S-8261AAL-M6T1U and RP506K001B-TR-F, the AP9214LA-AJ-HSBR-7 delivers superior integration (dual MOSFETs), configurable safety modes (latch/auto-release, 0V charge), and tighter voltage accuracy-enabling smaller, safer, and more reliable 1-cell battery systems without external component trade-offs.

FAQ
What is the function of the NC pin (Pin 5) in the U-DFN2535-6 (Option 2) package?
Pin 5 is designated NC (No Connect) and has no internal connection to the die. It must remain electrically floating-neither tied to ground nor VDD. Routing traces or soldering to this pin may cause unpredictable behavior or damage due to parasitic coupling. The datasheet explicitly states it is unused and should be left unconnected in PCB layout.
How does the AP9214LA-AJ-HSBR-7 handle 0V battery charging, and what circuit conditions trigger it?
The AP9214LA-AJ-HSBR-7 enables 0V charging when factory-configured with the "0V Battery Charge Available" option (indicated by 'A' in part number suffix). It activates when battery voltage rises above 1.2 V while VM is pulled low via R2, allowing charger current to flow through the discharge MOSFET body diode until the cell reaches ~2.8 V, at which point normal charging resumes.
Can the overcharge protection mode be changed from Auto-Release to Latch after PCB assembly?
No. Overcharge protection mode (Auto-Release vs Latch) is factory-programmed into non-volatile memory during wafer test and cannot be altered post-manufacture. The 'A' in AP9214LA indicates Auto-Release configuration; a latch-mode variant would be designated AP9214LL. Hardware modification or firmware update is not possible.
What is the maximum continuous discharge current supported by the integrated MOSFETs, and how is it derated at elevated temperature?
The integrated MOSFETs support 9.0 A continuous drain current at TA = +25°C and VGS = 4.5 V. At +70°C ambient, this is derated to 7.1 A due to junction temperature rise. Actual current capability depends on PCB copper area under EP pad: with 200 mm² 2-oz copper, thermal resistance is ~40°C/W, limiting practical continuous current to ~6.5 A at +70°C ambient.
