Product details
Overview
AP9214L-AC-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 (±100 mV) protection with fixed delay timing and 0V charge enable. Used in portable power tools and medical handheld devices requiring compact, integrated pack-level safety.
For engineers reviewing the AP9214L-AC-HSB-7 datasheet, AP9214L-AC-HSB-7 pinout, AP9214L-AC-HSB-7 application, or AP9214L-AC-HSB-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its U-DFN2535-6 (Type B, Option 1) package, dual-MOSFET integration, ±25 mV overcharge detection accuracy, 3.0 µA typical quiescent current in normal mode, and factory-configured 0V battery charge permission.
Technical Context
The AP9214L-AC-HSB-7 implements independent analog comparators for VDD–VVSS (cell voltage), VVM–VVSS (current-sense), and VDD–VVM (charger overvoltage), each feeding into logic-controlled MOSFET gate drivers. Its internal delay timers (tCU, tDL, tDOC, tSHORT) are fixed and trimmed during production, eliminating external RC components.
It supports two operational modes: Power-Down (0.1 µA max standby) activated after overdischarge, requiring charger reconnection to wake; and Auto-Wake-Up (5.5 µA max standby) enabled via internal configuration. Pin-out Option 1 places NC on Pin 5 and VM on Pin 4, enabling direct R2 connection between P− and VM for accurate current sensing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Overcharge Detection Voltage | 4.25 V ±25 mV - sets upper safe charging limit for 1-cell Li+ (e.g., 4.2 V nominal). |
| Discharge Overcurrent Threshold | 0.15 V ±15 mV - detects >15 A load current (with 10 mΩ sense resistor), triggering MOSFET shutdown. |
| Quiescent Current (Normal Mode) | 3.0 µA typ - enables multi-year shelf life in battery-powered IoT sensors without significant self-discharge. |
| MOSFET RSS(ON) | 13 mΩ typ @ VDD = 4.0 V - limits conduction loss to <100 mW at 9 A continuous discharge, reducing thermal stress. |
| Operating Temperature Range | −40°C to +85°C - supports operation in automotive cabin modules and industrial handheld terminals. |
| Package | U-DFN2535-6 (Type B, Option 1) - 2.5 mm × 3.5 mm × 0.55 mm footprint with exposed thermal pad for PCB heat sinking. |
| 0V Battery Charge | Enabled - allows recovery of deeply discharged cells (0 V) using standard CC/CV chargers without manual pre-charge circuits. |
Pinout & Package
AP9214L-AC-HSB-7 uses the U-DFN2535-6 (Type B) package with Pin-Out Option 1: S1/VSS/VDD/VM/NC/S2/EP. The exposed thermal pad (EP) serves as the common drain node for both integrated N-channel MOSFETs and must be soldered to a large copper pour for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| S1 | Source of discharging MOSFET | Connected directly to battery negative terminal; carries full discharge current path. |
| VSS | Negative power supply reference | System ground return for all internal comparators and logic; must be low-impedance. |
| VDD | Positive power supply input | Connected to battery positive via R1 (330–470 Ω); powers internal circuitry and MOSFET gates. |
| VM | Current-sense and charger monitor input | Monitors voltage drop across R2 (2.7 kΩ typical) between P− and VM to detect charge/discharge current polarity and magnitude. |
| NC | No-connect terminal | Pin 5 is unconnected internally; must remain floating-no trace or solder mask required. |
| S2 | Source of charging MOSFET | Connected to charger negative input; controls charge path independently from discharge path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual integrated N-channel MOSFETs | Common-drain topology with 13 mΩ RSS(ON) enables bidirectional current control without external FETs or layout complexity. |
| Programmable overcharge hysteresis | 0.1–0.4 V range (50 mV steps) prevents oscillation near trip point during marginal charging conditions. |
| Fixed detection delay timing | ±20% accuracy at +25°C eliminates need for external RC networks, reducing BOM count and board area. |
| Power-down mode activation | 0.1 µA max current draw in overdischarge state extends shelf life and prevents deep cell degradation during storage. |
| Factory-configurable 0V charge | Enables automatic recovery of fully depleted Li+ cells without external wake-up circuitry or manual intervention. |
Applications
| Power Tools | Medical Handheld Devices |

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-8261AAB-M6T1U | Single-MOSFET architecture; no integrated charge MOSFET; requires external P-channel FET for charge path. | Lacks bidirectional protection; unsuitable where independent charge/discharge control is required (e.g., USB-C PD charging). | Select only if design already includes external charge FET and needs lower BOM cost, accepting higher layout complexity. |
| Ricoh RP502K001B-TR-F | Higher quiescent current (6 µA typ); no 0V charge function; ±50 mV overcharge accuracy vs. ±25 mV. | Not suitable for deeply discharged recovery or ultra-low-power long-life applications like smart sensors. | Prefer when cost sensitivity outweighs precision and feature requirements, and 0V charge is not needed. |
Compared with S-8261AAB-M6T1U and RP502K001B-TR-F, the AP9214L-AC-HSB-7 delivers true single-chip bidirectional protection, tighter voltage accuracy, and factory-enabled 0V recovery-reducing bill-of-materials count by two FETs and eliminating external pre-charge circuitry.

FAQ
What is the function of the NC pin on AP9214L-AC-HSB-7?
Pin 5 is designated NC (No Connect) and is not bonded internally. It must remain electrically floating-no trace, pull-up, or pull-down should be attached. This pin exists solely for mechanical symmetry in the U-DFN2535-6 (Type B) package and has zero electrical function.
Does AP9214L-AC-HSB-7 support automatic release from overdischarge protection?
No-AP9214L-AC-HSB-7 uses latch-type overdischarge protection. Once triggered, it remains latched until the battery voltage rises above the overdischarge release voltage (VDU) and the VM–VSS voltage drops below −0.7 V, or until a charger is connected to force wake-up. Auto-release is not implemented.
How is the discharge overcurrent threshold set in AP9214L-AC-HSB-7?
The threshold is fixed at 0.15 V ±15 mV and measured between VM and VSS pins. It corresponds to the voltage drop across an external current-sense resistor (R2). With a 2.7 kΩ R2, this detects ~56 mA through R2, but actual load current depends on R2 value and MOSFET RSS(ON) contribution.
Can AP9214L-AC-HSB-7 be used in automotive cabin applications?
Yes-it operates from −40°C to +85°C and meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements when manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities. However, this specific part number (HSB-7) is not AEC-Q100 qualified; automotive-grade variants require direct consultation with Diodes Incorporated for PPAP-capable ordering.
