Product details
Overview
APX803-46SAG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3-pin microprocessor reset supervisor IC with 4.63V reset threshold, open-drain active-low RESET output, 200ms typical reset timeout, 30µA typical supply current, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V. It monitors 5V power rails in embedded controllers and portable systems to prevent erroneous microprocessor startup during brownout or power-up transients.
For engineers reviewing the APX803-46SAG-7 datasheet, APX803-46SAG-7 pinout, APX803-46SAG-7 application, or APX803-46SAG-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SOT23 package mapping, functional pin roles, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts for industrial and battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The APX803-46SAG-7 implements a precision voltage comparator with 4.63V ±0.07V threshold (2.93V hysteresis), internal timing circuitry generating a fixed 140–280ms reset pulse after VCC recovery, and an open-drain N-channel output stage capable of sinking ≥1.2mA at VCC ≥ VTH − 0.2V. Its design ignores fast VCC transients and guarantees valid logic state down to 1V supply.
It operates across −40°C to +85°C ambient, draws ≤40µA max supply current, and features thermal resistance θJA = 201°C/W in SOT23. The device requires no external components and interfaces directly with bidirectional µP reset pins via a single pull-up resistor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.56V min / 4.63V typ / 4.70V max - ensures reliable reset assertion before 5V rail collapse |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms min / 200ms typ / 280ms max - holds µP in reset long enough for stable clock and supply settling |
| Supply Current | 30µA typ / 40µA max - enables multi-year battery life in portable monitoring devices |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.1V to 5.5V - supports valid reset signaling even during deep brownout down to 1V |
| Output Type | Open-drain active-low - allows wired-OR reset bus sharing and level-shifting across supply domains |
| Reset Hysteresis | 40mV - prevents chatter during slow VCC recovery near threshold |
| ESD Rating | 2kV HBM - provides robust handling in manual assembly and field service environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 (SA package) surface-mount package with 2.4mm × 1.3mm footprint, 0.95mm height, and RoHS-compliant "Green" molding compound (Br/Cl <900ppm, Sb <1000ppm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Reference ground return for internal comparator and output driver |
| 2 | VCC | Monitored power supply input; powers internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference |
| 3 | RESET | Open-drain active-low output; sinks current to assert reset on connected µP or logic |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 4.63V threshold | ±0.07V tolerance over temperature ensures consistent reset point across −40°C to +85°C |
| Fixed 200ms reset timeout | Guarantees sufficient hold time for 5V system clocks and memory initialization before release |
| No external components required | Reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. discrete RC-based reset circuits |
| Valid reset down to VCC = 1V | Prevents undefined µP behavior during deep undervoltage conditions where core logic fails |
| Open-drain output with 1.2mA sink capability | Enables flexible pull-up to any logic rail (3.3V, 5V, or mixed-voltage systems) |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controllers | Portable Data Loggers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Power cycling in remote sensor nodes powered by Li-ion batteries with variable discharge profiles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 5V DC-DC output and asserts reset if voltage drops below 4.63V during battery sag or cold-temperature derating. Use Value: Prevents firmware corruption during brownout by holding µC in reset until regulated 5V rail stabilizes above threshold for ≥140ms. |
Use Scenario: Intermittent GPS+cellular telemetry units operating on primary alkaline cells. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises main 5V supply derived from boost converter; triggers reset on load-induced voltage dip during RF transmission burst. Use Value: Ensures clean boot after power interruption without requiring external capacitor timing network or calibration. |
| Medical Diagnostic Handhelds | Smart Energy Meters |
Use Scenario: Battery-backed clinical analyzers performing rapid electrochemical assays. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides deterministic reset initiation when main 5V rail falls below 4.63V due to high-current sensor activation. Use Value: Eliminates risk of partial register writes or corrupted ADC calibration sequences during transient undervoltage. |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted meters with isolated 5V auxiliary supply powering metrology SoC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Resets metering processor upon AC line dropout or surge-induced DC rail collapse. Use Value: Guarantees restart only after stable 5V rail recovery, avoiding spurious energy accumulation errors during reset window. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| APX809-46SA-7 | Push-pull (not open-drain) RESET output; same 4.63V threshold and 200ms timeout | Requires no external pull-up; incompatible with wired-OR reset buses or level-shifting | Select when driving single-load µP with dedicated reset line and no shared bus requirement |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 4.63V threshold, 140ms min timeout, push-pull output, 2.5µA max ICC | Lower quiescent current but lacks open-drain flexibility; not drop-in compatible due to different pinout (VCC/RESET/GND vs. GND/VCC/RESET) | Choose for ultra-low-power applications where reset bus sharing is unnecessary and pinout redesign is acceptable |
Compared with APX809-46SA-7 and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803-46SAG-7 uniquely supports multi-device reset coordination via open-drain topology while maintaining identical threshold accuracy and timeout stability across temperature - critical for systems with mixed-supply µPs or legacy controller interfaces.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for APX803-46SAG-7?
The APX803-46SAG-7 has a guaranteed reset threshold of 4.56V minimum, 4.63V typical, and 4.70V maximum at +25°C, with ±30ppm/°C tempco and 40mV hysteresis. This ensures precise 5V rail monitoring across industrial temperature ranges without calibration.
Can APX803-46SAG-7 drive multiple microcontrollers on a shared reset bus?
Yes - its open-drain active-low RESET output allows direct wired-OR connection with other open-drain reset sources (e.g., watchdog timers or other supervisors). A single pull-up resistor to the target logic rail enables coordinated reset assertion across multiple devices.
Does APX803-46SAG-7 remain functional when VCC drops below 1.1V?
No - the device guarantees valid RESET output only down to VCC = 1V. Below 1V, the internal circuitry ceases to sink current, and RESET becomes high-impedance. This aligns with typical µP shutdown behavior, as most processors are nonfunctional below 1V.
Is APX803-46SAG-7 pin-compatible with APX803-46SRG-7?
Yes - both use the same SOT23-3 footprint and identical pinout (GND/VCC/RESET), differing only in package variant (SA vs. SR) and marking code. SA and SR variants share identical electrical specifications and thermal performance per Diodes' package outline documentation.
