Product details
Overview
AP9214LA-AM-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), and short-circuit protection with fixed delay timing, operating across –40°C to +85°C.
For engineers reviewing the AP9214LA-AM-HSB-7 datasheet, AP9214LA-AM-HSB-7 pinout, AP9214LA-AM-HSB-7 application, or AP9214LA-AM-HSB-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its U-DFN2535-6 (Type B, Option 1) package, 0.1 µA max power-down current, selectable 0V charge function, auto-release/latch overcharge mode, and integrated MOSFET thermal pad (EP) for high-current battery management in space-constrained portable devices.
Technical Context
The AP9214LA-AM-HSB-7 implements dual independent protection paths: one for charging (controlled via S2/VM/VDD) and one for discharging (controlled via S1/VM/VSS), each with dedicated voltage thresholds and delay timers. Its internal logic uses level-shifted gate drivers to control the common-drain dual N-MOSFET structure, enabling bidirectional current monitoring without external sense resistors beyond R2.
It features factory-configurable options encoded in the part number: 'A' denotes auto-wake-up (not power-down), 'M' specifies overcharge detection voltage = 4.25 V (±25 mV), and 'HSB' confirms U-DFN2535-6 Type B pin-out Option 1 (S1-VSS-VDD-NC-S2-VM-EP). The built-in RVMD/RVMS internal resistors enable automatic status pull-up/pull-down during fault conditions without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCU | 4.25 V ±25 mV - precise overcharge detection threshold, enabling safe full-charge termination for Li+ cells. |
| VDL | 2.50 V ±35 mV - accurate low-voltage cutoff to prevent deep discharge damage to 1-cell Li+ batteries. |
| RSS(ON) | 13 mΩ typ @ VDD = 4.0 V - ultra-low on-resistance reduces power loss and heat generation during 9 A continuous discharge. |
| IQ (Normal) | 3.0 µA typ @ 25°C - enables multi-year battery shelf life in always-connected portable electronics. |
| tSHORT | 1.0 µs typ - sub-microsecond short-circuit response prevents catastrophic failure during accidental load faults. |
| VSHORT | 0.55 V ±100 mV - robust short-detection threshold tolerant of PCB trace resistance and current-sense resistor tolerance. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and consumer-grade battery packs exposed to ambient temperature extremes. |
Pinout & Package
AP9214LA-AM-HSB-7 is housed in a thermally enhanced U-DFN2535-6 (Type B) package with exposed drain thermal pad (EP), optimized for high-current battery protection in compact layouts. Pin-out Option 1 is confirmed per datasheet DS38413 Rev. 4-3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (S1) | Discharge MOSFET source | Connects directly to battery negative terminal; carries full discharge current path through integrated MOSFET. |
| 2 (VSS) | Negative supply reference | Ground reference for all internal analog comparators and logic; must be low-impedance connection to battery cathode. |
| 3 (VDD) | Positive supply input | Connected to battery anode via current-limiting resistor 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; enables independent charge-path control and reverse-connection protection. |
| 6 (VM) | Current sense & status monitor | Senses voltage drop across R2 to detect charge/discharge current direction and magnitude; enables fault latching and auto-wake-up. |
| EP | Common drain thermal pad | Shared drain node of both MOSFETs; requires large copper pour for thermal dissipation and low-inductance current return path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated dual N-MOSFETs | 13 mΩ RSS(ON) + common-drain EP pad eliminates external FETs and reduces BOM count by ≥2 components. |
| Factory-programmed thresholds | 4.25 V overcharge / 2.50 V overdischarge settings reduce design validation effort and eliminate external resistor trimming. |
| Auto-wake-up mode | Enables recovery from overdischarge without charger presence - critical for user-recoverable dead-battery scenarios in wearables. |
| 0V battery charge enable | Permits safe reactivation of deeply depleted cells (0 V) using standard CC/CV chargers, extending usable battery lifetime. |
| Built-in delay timers | Fixed tCU, tDL, tDOC, and tSHORT eliminate external RC networks and improve production consistency. |
Applications
| Smartphone Battery Packs | Wireless Earbud Cases |
|---|---|

Use Value: Eliminates "bricked" cases due to self-discharge; enables reliable user experience without manual reset or service intervention. |
| Power Tool Battery Packs | Portable Medical Monitors |
|
Use Scenario: Secondary protection layer in 18 V (5S) tool packs where AP9214LA-AM-HSB-7 guards individual 3.6 V cells against imbalance-induced overvoltage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as per-cell supervisor detecting >4.25 V during active charging and disabling that cell's charge path before adjacent cells overcharge. Use Value: Adds redundancy to pack-level BMS, improving safety certification compliance (IEC 62133) without increasing board area. |
Use Scenario: Safety-critical backup battery protection in handheld ECG or pulse oximeter devices requiring guaranteed 5-year shelf life and field reliability.

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 | Separate charge/discharge FETs required; no integrated MOSFETs; 1.8 µA IQ; fixed 4.25 V/2.5 V thresholds. | Lacks auto-wake-up and 0V charge; requires external 20 mΩ FETs increasing footprint and thermal complexity. | Select when lowest quiescent current is prioritized over integration and recovery flexibility. |
| Ricoh RP506K001A-TR-F | Integrated dual N-MOSFETs (15 mΩ); supports 0V charge and auto-wake-up; but only 4.20 V VCU (±30 mV) and no overvoltage charger detection. | Missing 8.0 V overvoltage charger protection - unsuitable for USB PD or multi-adapter environments. | Select for cost-sensitive consumer wearables where charger voltage is tightly regulated and thermal margin is sufficient. |
Compared with S-8261AAL-M6T1U and RP506K001A-TR-F, AP9214LA-AM-HSB-7 uniquely combines integrated 13 mΩ MOSFETs, 8.0 V overvoltage charger detection, and factory-set 4.25 V/2.50 V thresholds - delivering higher system-level safety and smaller PCB area in fast-charging portable designs.

FAQ
What is the function of the NC pin (Pin 4) on AP9214LA-AM-HSB-7?
Pin 4 is a no-connect terminal with no internal bond wire or circuit connection. It must remain unconnected and floating in PCB layout - soldering it to ground, VDD, or any other net may cause unpredictable behavior or latch-up. This pin exists solely for mechanical symmetry in the U-DFN2535-6 (Type B) package footprint.
Does AP9214LA-AM-HSB-7 support simultaneous charge and discharge?
No. The AP9214LA-AM-HSB-7 uses mutually exclusive control logic: when the charging MOSFET (S2 path) is enabled, the discharging MOSFET (S1 path) is disabled, and vice versa. This prevents shoot-through and ensures safe operation during charger insertion/removal events in single-cell systems.
How does the auto-wake-up function recover from overdischarge without a charger?
In auto-wake-up mode (denoted by 'A' in part number), the device monitors battery voltage during overdischarge. If VBAT rises to ≥2.50 V (VDU) and remains there for ≥tDLR (overdischarge release delay), the IC automatically re-enables the discharge MOSFET - enabling recovery from 0 V via leakage current or minimal load-induced voltage rise.
What is the maximum continuous current rating for AP9214LA-AM-HSB-7?
The device supports 9.0 A continuous drain current at TA = +25°C (VGS = 4.5 V), derating to 7.1 A at +70°C. This rating assumes proper PCB copper area under the EP thermal pad (≥100 mm²) and ambient airflow; actual current capability depends on thermal design and voltage drop across RSS(ON).
