Introducing the AP2161AMP13 from Diodes Incorporated

The AP2161AMP13 is a high-quality, single-channel current-limited integrated high-side power switch, designed for USB and other hot-swap applications. This product from Diodes Incorporated is tailored to provide reliable protection for your sensitive electronic devices. The AP2161AMP13 is particularly suited for applications where power distribution needs to be controlled, such as in USB ports, portable electronics, and peripheral interfaces.

Key Features

• Current Limiting: The device offers precise current limiting to protect the host device from overcurrent conditions. The current limit threshold is factory-programmed, which ensures consistent performance.
• Fast Response Time: With a quick response time to fault conditions, the AP2161AMP13 helps prevent damage to your circuitry by rapidly disconnecting the load during overcurrent or short-circuit events.
• Thermal Shutdown Protection: The built-in thermal shutdown feature safeguards the device against excessive power dissipation that could lead to high junction temperatures.
• Reverse Current Blocking: This function prevents current from flowing backward into the switch when it is powered off, thereby protecting the upstream devices.
• Controlled Rise Time: The AP2161AMP13 has a controlled output rise time which reduces inrush current, minimizing EMI and potential damage to connected devices.
• Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO): The UVLO feature ensures that the switch remains off until the supply voltage reaches a safe operating level.

Applications

• USB Power Distribution Systems
• Hot-Swap Power Supplies
• Battery-Charger Circuits
• Portable Electronic Devices
• Notebook Computers

The AP2161AMP13 is available in a small SOT-25 package, making it ideal for space-constrained applications.
