Product Overview: AP2101SG-13

The AP2101SG-13 is a high-performance power distribution switch from Diodes Incorporated, designed to provide state-of-the-art solutions for USB and other hot-swap applications. This device is a single-channel, current-limited, integrated high-side power switch optimized for self-powered and bus-powered Universal Serial Bus (USB) applications.

Key Features

• Current Limiting: The AP2101SG-13 has built-in current limiting to protect the host device from overcurrent conditions. It can prevent damage to USB ports by limiting the output current if the load exceeds the current limit threshold.
• Fast Response Time: It features a fast response time to fault conditions, which enhances the system reliability by responding quickly to overcurrent and short-circuit events.
• Thermal Shutdown Protection: The device includes thermal shutdown protection that prevents the switch from overheating. It automatically shuts down if the die temperature exceeds a safe threshold.
• Reverse Current Blocking: This switch has reverse current blocking to prevent current from flowing backward into the source when it is powered down or during a fault condition.
• Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO): The AP2101SG-13 ensures that the switch remains off until the input voltage reaches a valid range, protecting downstream circuits during power-up or when input voltage falls too low.

Applications

The AP2101SG-13 is ideal for a variety of applications, including:

• USB Peripherals and USB Hub Devices
• Hot-Swap Power Supplies
• Portable Electronic Devices
• Battery-Charger Circuits

Package and Availability

Offered in a compact SOP-8 package, the AP2101SG-13 is designed for space-constrained applications. The product is available in tape and reel format, facilitating easy integration into automated manufacturing processes. With its robust design and comprehensive feature set, the AP2101SG-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a reliable choice for designers looking to enhance power management in their USB and other hot-swap applications.
