High-precision voltage detection over the full -40 to 85°C temperature range is claimed to promote maximum cell lifetime and safe operation during charge and discharge cycles. The AP9101C is also said to feature a built-in time delay circuit that allows the various protection functions to be implemented with fewer components and requiring no external capacitors.
The AP9101C is available in standard SOT25 and SOT26 package options and provides design flexibility with or without power-down mode and can be customised to protect different cell specifications in various applications. A low quiescent current of 3µA in normal mode, and 0.1µA when powered down, delivers useful power saving benefits.
