AP2191AFM-7

AP2191AFM-7 is a high side power switch chipset manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, which is a leader in producing semiconductor components, system modules, and discrete semiconductor components. This device is primarily a high-side power switch that provides load driving, power distribution, overvoltage, and current detection. It is targeted at applications requiring a switch with low-current and low-voltage, as well as a wide selection of control/detection functions.

The AP2191AFM-7 features a two level, power switch design. The two levels are the high side FET and the low side FET, with logic-level control over on/off switching. This ensures that the power switch can be accurately switched on, off or held in a low current state. The device also includes a low-dropout voltage regulator and a low power rail, which provide reliable power distribution when the device is in motion.

The device has a range of load detection and power distribution capabilities, as well as over-voltage protection. The FETs and voltage regulator provide load driving, power distribution and over voltage protection. This ensures that the power switch is protected from overvoltage and current transients without compromising the load current or power distribution. The load detection and power distribution functions are implemented through the use of two temperature sensing diodes, which provide the necessary current reading when the switch is activated.

In addition to its power switching and load driving capabilities, the AP2191AFM-7 also features a wide selection of control features, such as thermal protection, power-on reset, current limit sensing, ESD protection and surge current stoppage. These functions allow the user to better control the power switch and protect it from over current, overheating and other potential overcurrent events.
