Product details
Overview
AP1703CWG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3-pin active-low microprocessor reset supervisor IC in SC59 package, with 4.00V reset threshold, 240ms minimum reset timeout, 20µA typical supply current, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1V. It monitors +3.3V/+3.0V digital power rails in embedded controllers and portable equipment to prevent erroneous code execution during brownout.
For engineers reviewing the AP1703CWG-7 datasheet, AP1703CWG-7 pinout, AP1703CWG-7 application, or AP1703CWG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±0.08V), push-pull output drive capability (1.2mA sink), transient immunity (100µs/100mV), and operation over –40°C to +105°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The AP1703CWG-7 integrates a precision voltage comparator with internal reference (2.25V), delay timer circuit, and push-pull output stage. Its reset assertion is triggered when VCC falls below 4.00V (typ.), with hysteresis of 0.1V and tempco of 30ppm/°C - ensuring stable trip point across industrial temperature range.
It features glitch immunity via internal set-up time (100µs) and ignores transients ≤100µs at 100mV overdrive. The RESET output remains valid (logic low) for VCC ≥1V and asserts for ≥240ms after VCC recovers above threshold, meeting µP power-on reset timing requirements without external RC components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.00V (typ.), ±0.08V tolerance - matches +3.3V system supply with 21% headroom before reset activation |
| Reset Timeout | 240ms (min.) - satisfies Intel-compatible µP power-on reset hold time requirement |
| Supply Current | 20µA (typ.) - enables multi-year battery life in portable monitoring devices |
| VCC Validity Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - ensures functional reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
| Output Type | Push-pull active-low - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and supports direct CMOS input drive |
| Tempco | 30ppm/°C - limits threshold drift to ±0.012V over –40°C to +105°C operating range |
| Transient Immunity | 100µs max duration at 100mV overdrive - suppresses common switching noise without false resets |
Pinout & Package
AP1703CWG-7 is housed in a lead-free, green SC59-3L (SOT-23 compatible) surface-mount package measuring 2.90–3.10mm × 1.50–1.70mm × 1.00–1.30mm, with gull-wing leads and 0.95mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and output driver; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 | VCC | Power supply input; accepts 1.0V–5.5V; bypass capacitor (0.1µF) required adjacent to pin for transient immunity |
| 3 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output; sinks 1.2mA minimum at VCC ≥ VTH; logic low until 240ms after VCC > 4.00V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision reset threshold | 4.00V ±0.08V at 25°C - eliminates manual calibration and supports tight-tolerance +3.3V rail monitoring |
| No external components required | Integrated delay timer and reference - reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. discrete RC reset solutions |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Output remains logic-low down to 1V supply - ensures deterministic state during deep undervoltage recovery |
| High noise immunity | 100µs glitch rejection at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets from DC-DC switching noise |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | SC59-3L package with green finish per EU Directive Annex Notes 5 and 7 - meets industrial environmental compliance |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controllers | Portable Medical Monitors |

Use Scenario: Battery-powered ECG data loggers requiring reliable startup and low-power supervision. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reset generator monitoring 3.0V LDO output; triggers MCU reset if battery voltage drops below safe operating level. Use Value: 20µA quiescent current extends single-CR2032 battery life beyond 5 years in sleep mode while maintaining reset integrity. |
| Automotive Body Control Modules | Smart Energy Meters |
|
Use Scenario: Cold-cranking voltage monitoring in 12V-to-3.3V converted systems during engine start. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises post-regulation 3.3V domain; asserts reset during <1.0V dropout events caused by alternator load dump transients. Use Value: Valid reset output down to VCC = 1V ensures deterministic MCU behavior even during severe under-voltage - critical for ASIL-B functional safety paths. |
Use Scenario: Tamper-resistant metering ICs powered from supercapacitor backup during mains failure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Resets计量 SoC when supercapacitor voltage decays below 4.00V, preventing invalid energy accumulation during brownout. Use Value: 30ppm/°C tempco maintains threshold stability across –25°C to +70°C meter enclosure temperatures - avoiding false resets in outdoor deployments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| APX809S24T-7 | 2.4V fixed reset threshold; SOT23-3 package; 140ms reset timeout | Designed for lower-voltage systems (e.g., 2.5V FPGA banks); shorter timeout may not satisfy legacy µP requirements | Select when supervising 2.5V domains and board space permits SOT23 footprint |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | 1.2V threshold; adjustable timeout (200ms–3.2s); higher ICC (2.5µA typ.) | Supports ultra-low-voltage ASICs; programmable delay enables custom reset sequencing | Choose for designs requiring timeout flexibility or sub-1.8V supply monitoring |
Compared with AP1703CWG-7, APX809S24T-7 offers tighter threshold tolerance but lacks industrial temp range support, while TPS3808G12DBVR provides configurability at cost of higher complexity and reduced integration - making AP1703CWG-7 optimal for cost-sensitive, fixed-threshold +3.3V applications.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for AP1703CWG-7?
The AP1703CWG-7 has a nominal reset threshold of 4.00V at 25°C, with a guaranteed range of 3.92V to 4.08V across temperature and process variation. This value is laser-trimmed during manufacturing and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet Rev. 2 (January 2007), page 3.
Can AP1703CWG-7 be used with a 5V microcontroller?
Yes - AP1703CWG-7 operates with VCC from 1.0V to 5.5V and asserts reset when VCC falls below 4.00V, making it suitable for 5V µPs where reset must trigger before supply drops into marginal logic-high range. Its push-pull output drives standard CMOS inputs directly without external pull-up.
Is there a recommended bypass capacitor for AP1703CWG-7?
A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is explicitly recommended in the datasheet (page 4, Typical Application Circuit) and must be placed as close as possible to the VCC pin. This minimizes impedance path and enhances immunity to fast transients - critical for achieving the specified 100µs/100mV glitch rejection performance.
Why is AP1703CWG-7 marked "Not Recommended for New Design"?
Diodes Incorporated issued this notice because the newer APX809/810 series offers improved specifications: tighter threshold tolerance (±0.5%), wider temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), and enhanced ESD robustness. However, AP1703CWG-7 remains fully qualified and supported for existing designs and legacy production programs.
