Product details
Overview
AP9221SA-AS-HAC-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-chip Li+ battery protection IC integrating dual N-channel MOSFETs (common-drain configuration), overcharge/overdischarge voltage detection (4.200 V / 2.750 V), discharge overcurrent sensing (0.055 V), and short-circuit protection (0.276 V) in a U-DFN2030-6 (Type C) package. It enables compact, low-quiescent-current protection for 1-cell portable power systems including Bluetooth headsets and wearable medical sensors.
For engineers reviewing the AP9221SA-AS-HAC-7 datasheet, AP9221SA-AS-HAC-7 pinout, AP9221SA-AS-HAC-7 application, or AP9221SA-AS-HAC-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its auto-wake-up mode (no charger required for overdischarge recovery), 0V battery charge enablement, ±12 mV discharge overcurrent detection accuracy, and integrated 130 mΩ (VDD = 4.5 V) MOSFET on-resistance.
Technical Context
The AP9221SA-AS-HAC-7 implements independent voltage monitoring paths for VDD–VVSS (cell voltage) and VDD–VM (charger overvoltage), with fixed delay timers (tCU = 1000 ms typ., tDOC = 10 ms typ.) and configurable release thresholds. Its logic circuit controls two internal MOSFETs via level-shifted gate drivers to isolate charge/discharge paths.
It features factory-configured auto-wake-up functionality, enabling automatic exit from overdischarge state when battery voltage rises above 2.950 V for ≥2 ms-without requiring external charger connection. The VM pin serves as bidirectional current-sense input, supporting both charge overcurrent (−0.113 V threshold) and discharge overcurrent (0.055 V) detection using the same resistor network.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Overcharge Detection Voltage | 4.200 V ±15 mV at +25°C - triggers cutoff before Li+ cell damage at 4.25 V |
| Overdischarge Detection Voltage | 2.750 V ±35 mV at +25°C - prevents deep discharge below safe 2.5 V minimum |
| Discharge Overcurrent Threshold | 0.055 V ±12 mV - sets 1.0 A trip point with 22 mΩ sense resistor |
| Quiescent Current (Normal Mode) | 3.0 µA typ. at VDD = 3.5 V - extends shelf life of sealed battery packs |
| MOSFET RSS(ON) | 130 mΩ max. at VDD = 4.5 V - limits power loss to ≤130 mW at 1 A load |
| Short-Circuit Detection Voltage | 0.276 V ±50 mV - detects >12.5 A fault current with 22 mΩ sense resistor |
| Operating Temperature Range | −40°C to +85°C - supports industrial-grade portable equipment operation |

FAQ
What is the function of the VM pin in AP9221SA-AS-HAC-7?
The VM pin serves as a bidirectional current-sense input that monitors voltage drop across an external sense resistor (R2) to detect both charge overcurrent (negative voltage) and discharge overcurrent/short-circuit (positive voltage). It also enables charger overvoltage detection between VDD and VM, triggering automatic charging MOSFET shutdown at 8.0 V.
Does AP9221SA-AS-HAC-7 support 0V battery charging, and how is it enabled?
Yes-the AP9221SA-AS-HAC-7 includes factory-configured 0V battery charge functionality. When the battery voltage is 0 V, the IC permits charging if the V0CHA threshold (≥1.2 V) is met, allowing recovery from deep self-discharge. This feature is permanently enabled in the SA variant and cannot be disabled externally.
How does auto-wake-up mode differ from power-down mode in this device?
Auto-wake-up mode (enabled in AP9221SA-AS-HAC-7) allows automatic recovery from overdischarge when battery voltage rises above 2.950 V for ≥2 ms-without requiring charger connection. Power-down mode (not present here) forces permanent sleep until charger is attached, consuming only 0.1 µA but requiring external intervention to resume operation.
What is the maximum continuous current supported by the internal MOSFETs?
The internal dual N-channel MOSFETs support 2.8 A continuous drain current at TA = +25°C and VGS = 4.5 V, with RSS(ON) ≤130 mΩ. At +70°C ambient, derated capacity is 2.2 A. Thermal performance depends on PCB copper area under the EP pad; ≥100 mm² recommended for full-rated operation.
