CH213K Overview

Part: CH213 — wch-ic.com

Type: Low Dropout Ideal Diode

Description: Low dropout ideal diode chip with current limiting, overcurrent, short-circuit, over-temperature, and power supply polarity protection, supporting up to 1A current at 5V with a typical 160mΩ on-resistance.

  • Supply voltage: 2.2–5.5 V
  • Operating temperature: -40 to 85 °C
  • Max on-current: 900 mA (at 5V)
  • Current limit: 1.3 A (typical at 5V)

Absolute Maximum Ratings:

  • Max supply voltage: 6.5 V (VI pin to GND)
  • Max junction/storage temperature: 150 °C

Key Specs:

  • Power switching tube on-resistance: Typ 160 mΩ (Iout=500mA, VI/VO=5V, TA=25°C)
  • Voltage drop: Typ 32 mV (Iout=200mA, VI/VO=5V, TA=25°C)
  • Quiescent operating current: Typ 3.6 μA (VI/VO=5V, TA=25°C)
  • Current limit threshold: Typ 1.3 A (VI/VO=5V, TA=25°C)
  • Short-circuit current: Typ 250 mA (VI/VO=5V, TA=25°C)
