Product details
Overview
AP1703BWG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3-pin microprocessor reset supervisor IC with active-low push-pull RESET output, 4.38 V reset threshold (±0.09 V), 240 ms minimum reset timeout, 20 µA typical supply current, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1 V. It monitors +3.3 V digital power rails in embedded controllers and portable systems to prevent erroneous code execution during brownout or power-up.
For engineers reviewing the AP1703BWG-7 datasheet, AP1703BWG-7 pinout, AP1703BWG-7 application, or AP1703BWG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±2%), immunity to sub-100 µs VCC transients, push-pull output drive capability (1.2 mA sink), SC59 package compatibility, and legacy design support where APX809/810 migration is not yet feasible.
Technical Context
The AP1703BWG-7 integrates a precision voltage comparator with internal reference (30 ppm/°C tempco), a 240 ms reset timeout timer, and a push-pull output stage. Its reset assertion logic is triggered when VCC falls below 4.38 V and held active for ≥240 ms after VCC rises above threshold.
Designed for single-supply monitoring of +3.3 V systems, it operates across –40°C to +105°C, tolerates VCC down to 1.0 V with valid RESET state, and rejects fast transients via built-in glitch immunity-no external RC network required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.38 V ±0.09 V - matches nominal +3.3 V rail with 32% headroom for brownout detection |
| Reset Timeout | 240 ms min - ensures µP initialization completes before release |
| Supply Current | 20 µA typ. - enables battery longevity in portable equipment |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V - guarantees RESET validity even during deep brownout |
| Output Type | Push-pull active-low - drives CMOS inputs directly without pull-up resistor |
| Transient Immunity | 100 µs max at 100 mV overdrive - suppresses common power-rail noise |
| Tempco | 30 ppm/°C - maintains threshold stability across industrial temperature range |
Pinout & Package
AP1703BWG-7 is housed in an SC59-3L (SOT-23 compatible) surface-mount package measuring 2.90–3.10 mm × 1.50–1.70 mm × 1.00–1.30 mm, with gull-wing leads and lead-free/RoHS-compliant finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and output driver |
| 2 | VCC | Power input; device functions only when ≥1.0 V applied |
| 3 | RESET | Active-low push-pull output; sinks 1.2 mA minimum when asserted |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision reset threshold | 4.38 V ±2% - eliminates need for external trimming in +3.3 V systems |
| No external components required | Integrated reference, timer, and driver - reduces BOM count and PCB area |
| Guaranteed RESET validity to VCC = 1 V | Ensures deterministic behavior during deep undervoltage, unlike open-drain alternatives |
| Low quiescent current | 20 µA typical - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| SC59-3L RoHS-compliant package | Compatible with standard SOT-23 reflow profiles and automated assembly |
Applications
| Industrial Controllers | Portable Medical Devices |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: PLC I/O modules powered by regulated +3.3 V supplies subject to intermittent brownouts during factory floor voltage sags. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Microprocessor reset supervisor asserting active-low signal to ARM Cortex-M4 reset pin during undervoltage events. Use Value: Prevents firmware corruption by holding µP in reset until supply stabilizes for ≥240 ms post-recovery. | Use Scenario: Handheld glucose meters using coin-cell batteries where supply voltage decays gradually from 3.3 V to 2.0 V during discharge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power-on and brownout detector triggering controlled shutdown sequence before critical data loss. Use Value: 20 µA supply current extends usable battery life; 1.0 V VCC operation ensures reset remains valid through full discharge curve. |
| Automotive Body Control Modules | Smart Energy Meters |
Use Scenario: 12 V automotive system with local +3.3 V LDO powering MCU, exposed to load-dump and cold-crank transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reset supervisor immune to ≤100 µs negative VCC glitches, preventing spurious resets during ignition cycles. Use Value: Built-in transient rejection avoids false triggers without adding external RC filtering or TVS diodes. | Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted electricity meter with isolated +3.3 V domain for metrology SoC and communication interface. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ensures reliable power-on initialization of dual-core metering ASIC after AC power restoration. Use Value: Push-pull output drives high-capacitance bus lines directly; no pull-up loading on sensitive analog supply rail. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| APX809S23-33 | 3.3 V fixed threshold, 140 ms reset timeout, 0.5 µA max IQ | Optimized for ultra-low-power IoT nodes; lacks 240 ms hold time for slower µPs | Select when lowest possible current dominates over timing margin |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3 V threshold, 200 ms timeout, 16 µA IQ, adjustable delay option | Higher cost, requires external capacitor for delay tuning; supports wider VCC range (1.3–6.8 V) | Choose when design flexibility or extended voltage range justifies premium |
Compared with APX809S23-33 and TPS3808G33DBVR, AP1703BWG-7 offers longer guaranteed reset hold time (240 ms vs. 140/200 ms) and higher VCC minimum (1.0 V vs. 0.8/1.3 V), making it preferable for legacy µPs requiring robust brownout recovery without redesign.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for AP1703BWG-7?
The AP1703BWG-7 has a nominal reset threshold of 4.38 V, with a guaranteed range of 4.29 V to 4.47 V at 25°C. This value is laser-trimmed during production and exhibits 30 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stability across –40°C to +105°C.
Can AP1703BWG-7 drive a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor on its RESET pin?
No-AP1703BWG-7 features a push-pull output and does not require an external pull-up. Its RESET pin actively drives low (≤0.4 V at 3.2 mA sink) and high (≥0.8×VCC at 800 µA source), eliminating reliance on external resistors and reducing power waste and noise susceptibility.
Is AP1703BWG-7 pin-compatible with AP1703AWG-7?
Yes-both share identical SC59-3L package, pinout (GND-VCC-RESET), and electrical specifications. The "B" suffix denotes 4.38 V threshold (vs. "A" = 4.63 V); "W" indicates SC59 package; "-7" confirms 3,000-piece tape-and-reel packaging. Only threshold voltage differs between AP1703AWG-7 and AP1703BWG-7.
Why is AP1703BWG-7 marked "Not Recommended for New Design"?
Diodes Incorporated issued this notice because the newer APX809/810 series offers improved specs: lower IQ (0.5 µA), tighter threshold tolerance (±0.5%), and enhanced ESD performance. AP1703BWG-7 remains fully functional and supported for existing designs but is not promoted for new schematics where long-term roadmap alignment matters.
