Product details
Overview
AUR9801CGD from Diodes Incorporated is a highly-integrated linear battery charger IC for single-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer batteries, operating from USB or 5V AC adapters with input voltage range 4.6–5.5V. It delivers programmable constant-current (up to 800mA typical) and constant-voltage (4.256V ±1%) charging, includes thermal fold-back at 107°C, safety timer, and recharge threshold at 4.05V - deployed in portable medical handhelds and smart phones.
For engineers reviewing the AUR9801CGD datasheet, AUR9801CGD pinout, AUR9801CGD application, or AUR9801CGD equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world application mappings, and confirmed alternative parts for battery charging subsystem design and BOM optimization.
Technical Context
The AUR9801CGD implements a fully autonomous linear charging architecture with integrated pass FET, remote voltage sensing (VSEN), and dual-mode control: preconditioning trickle charge (2.8V threshold), CC mode (programmable via IREF resistor), and CV mode (1% accurate 4.256V regulation). Internal oscillator (333Hz typical) sets timing for safety timeout and re-charge hysteresis.
It features active thermal management: die temperature monitoring triggers current fold-back above 107°C; open-drain /FAULT and /STATUS outputs signal fault conditions (e.g., timeout) and charge state; V2P8 provides a stable 2.85V reference (±0.1V) capable of sourcing 2mA for external biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Charge Voltage | 4.256V ±1% - ensures precise cell termination to prevent overcharge and maximize cycle life |
| Max Charge Current | 800mA typical (RIREF = 100kΩ) - supports rapid charging for sub-1000mAh batteries |
| Recharge Threshold | 4.05V with 50mV hysteresis - prevents unnecessary cycling while maintaining usable battery voltage |
| Thermal Fold-back | Activates at 107°C junction temperature - dynamically reduces current to sustain safe operation under high ambient or poor PCB thermal design |
| Supply Input Range | 4.6V to 5.5V - compatible with regulated USB 5V and standard wall adapters, excluding unregulated sources |
| Standby Current | 3.3µA (EN low or VIN floating) - minimizes system leakage during battery-only operation |
| V2P8 Reference | 2.85V ±0.1V, 2mA drive - enables accurate external comparator or ADC reference without added LDO |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in thermally enhanced WDFN-3×3-10 package (0.75mm height, exposed thermal pad), optimized for power dissipation in compact portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power input | Accepts 4.6–5.5V supply; internal UVLO resets at 2.5V falling threshold |
| FAULT | Open-drain fault indicator | Active-low signal for safety timer expiry or critical fault; sinks 5mA |
| STATUS | Open-drain charge status | Active-low during CC/CV charge; high during standby or suspend |
| TIME | Timing capacitor connection | Connects to CTIME (e.g., 15nF) to set charge timeout (~14 min) and oscillator frequency |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all analog and power circuits; tied to thermal pad |
| EN | Enable control | Logic-high enables charger; internal 880kΩ pull-up allows single-pin activation |
| V2P8 | Reference voltage output | Stable 2.85V source for external circuitry; load-regulated up to 2mA |
| IREF | Charge current programming | Resistor-to-ground sets ICHG (e.g., 100kΩ → 800mA); supports logic-level override |
| VSEN | Remote battery voltage sense | Compensates for PCB trace IR drop; connects directly to battery anode |
| VBAT | Battery output connection | Drives battery node through integrated pass FET; supports up to 1A peak current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated power pass FET + current sense | Eliminates external MOSFET and sense resistor - reduces BOM count and layout area by ≥3 components |
| No external blocking diode required | Internal reverse-current protection prevents battery discharge into VIN when adapter is removed |
| Preconditioning trickle charge | Activates below 2.8V battery voltage with 15-cycle verification - safely recovers deeply discharged cells |
| 1% voltage regulation accuracy | Maintains ±43mV tolerance on 4.256V output across -40°C to +85°C - meets JEITA battery charging compliance |
| Sleep mode with 3.3µA quiescent current | Enables ultra-low-power suspend state when EN is low or VIN absent - extends host system standby time |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single-cell Li-ion linear charging applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TP4056 | Fixed 4.2V charge voltage (±1%), no VSEN, no V2P8 reference, no thermal fold-back - only basic CC/CV | Lacks remote sensing and thermal protection; suitable only for low-cost, non-safety-critical consumer toys | Select only if cost is primary constraint and battery trace resistance <10mΩ; not recommended for medical or industrial use |
| BQ24075 | 4.2V ±0.5% voltage, integrated LDO for system power, higher 1.5A max current, I2C programmability - more complex, higher pin count | Supports simultaneous system-on-battery (SYSOFF) and battery charging; requires firmware integration | Choose when dual-path power delivery (battery + adapter) and configurability outweigh size/cost - e.g., tablets or POS terminals |
Compared with TP4056 and BQ24075, the AUR9801CGD uniquely balances precision (4.256V ±1%), thermal safety (107°C fold-back), and simplicity (10-pin WDFN, no I2C), making it optimal for compact, safety-aware portable devices where analog autonomy is preferred over digital control.

FAQ
What is the function of the VSEN pin on the AUR9801CGD?
The VSEN pin provides remote voltage sensing at the battery anode to compensate for voltage drop across PCB traces and connectors. When connected directly to the battery terminal (not the VBAT pin), it enables the IC to regulate battery voltage with ±1% accuracy regardless of trace resistance - critical for maintaining cell health in high-current or long-trace layouts.
How is charge current programmed on the AUR9801CGD?
Charge current is set by connecting a resistor between IREF and GND: ICHG ≈ 0.8 × 10⁵ / RIREF (in kΩ), yielding 800mA at 100kΩ. The relationship is linear and process-trimmed; no calibration is needed. Logic-level signals can also override IREF for dynamic current control, though datasheet confirms resistor programming as primary method.
Does the AUR9801CGD support USB enumeration or D+/D− detection?
No. The AUR9801CGD is a standalone linear charger with no USB protocol awareness. It operates identically whether powered from a USB port or fixed 5V adapter. USB enumeration, current limiting negotiation (e.g., BC1.2), or data-line detection must be handled externally by a separate USB controller or power switch.
What happens when the AUR9801CGD exceeds its thermal fold-back threshold?
When die temperature reaches 107°C, the IC automatically reduces charge current in real time to lower power dissipation. This is a continuous analog response - not a binary shutdown - allowing safe operation under sustained high ambient or poor heatsinking. Current resumes normal levels once temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~102°C).
