Product details
Overview
APX803L05-18SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, providing precise 1.8 V threshold detection with ±1.5% accuracy, 1 µA typical supply current, and 55 ms reset timeout. It features open-drain active-low RESET output and operates across –40°C to +85°C in battery-powered instrumentation and portable embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L05-18SA-7 datasheet, APX803L05-18SA-7 pinout, APX803L05-18SA-7 application, or APX803L05-18SA-7 equivalent, this device delivers verified low-current supervision for critical power-up sequencing, brown-out protection, and system reset generation in space-constrained, energy-sensitive designs.
Technical Context
The APX803L05-18SA-7 integrates a precision bandgap reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 1.8 V threshold. Its internal hysteresis (0.01 × VTH) prevents oscillation during slow-rising or noisy supply transitions.
Upon VCC falling below 1.8 V, the open-drain RESET pin pulls low within 20 µs and remains asserted until VCC exceeds the release threshold (VTH + VHYS), then holds active for exactly 55 ms before releasing - a factory-programmed delay with no external components required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.8 V ±1.5% - ensures reliable detection of 1.8 V rail collapse with minimal false triggering |
| Supply Current | 1.0 µA typical - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries without measurable drain |
| Reset Timeout | 55 ms - provides sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization and clock stabilization |
| Response Time | 20 µs - guarantees fast fault capture before logic corruption occurs |
| Operating Voltage | 0.9 V to 5.5 V - supports supervision of 1.2 V to 3.3 V logic rails with margin |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - allows wired-OR reset bus configuration and flexible pull-up voltage selection |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial and portable equipment environments |
Pinout & Package
The APX803L05-18SA-7 is housed in a 3-pin SOT23 package (JEDEC MO-203AA), with 1.3 mm × 2.9 mm footprint and 1.45 mm height, optimized for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal circuitry and RESET sink path |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain output; pulled low during reset condition; requires external pull-up |
| 3 | VCC | Power input; supplies internal reference and comparator; also monitored rail |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 1.8 V threshold | Factory-trimmed, no external resistor network needed - reduces BOM count and layout area |
| 55 ms reset timeout | Internally generated, temperature-stable delay - eliminates timing capacitor variability and aging effects |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy | Guaranteed over full temperature range - enables robust margining for 1.8 V I/O and core rails |
| 1 µA supply current | Enables always-on supervision in ultra-low-power wake-up circuits without compromising battery life |
| Open-drain RESET | Supports mixed-voltage systems via independent pull-up (e.g., 3.3 V pull-up monitoring 1.8 V VCC) |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous glucose monitors and wearable ECG patches requiring multi-year battery life and guaranteed power-on reset.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G18DBVR | 2.5 µA max supply current; 2% threshold accuracy; adjustable delay via capacitor | Requires external timing capacitor; higher current draw impacts ultra-low-power designs | Preferred when programmable delay or tighter thermal drift spec (±100 ppm/°C) is required |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 1.6 µA typical supply current; 1.8 V threshold; fixed 140 ms timeout | Longer reset hold time may conflict with fast-boot MCU requirements | Selected where longer reset duration improves reliability in noisy automotive environments |
Compared with TPS3808G18DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L05-18SA-7 offers the lowest quiescent current (1 µA typ.) and shortest factory-set delay (55 ms), making it optimal for battery-critical, fast-startup applications where component count and timing precision are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and tolerance for APX803L05-18SA-7?
The APX803L05-18SA-7 has a nominal reset threshold of 1.8 V with a guaranteed accuracy of ±1.5% over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), meaning the actual trip point falls between 1.773 V and 1.827 V under all specified conditions.
Can the reset timeout be adjusted externally?
No - the 55 ms reset timeout is factory-programmed and internally generated; no external capacitor or resistor is supported. This eliminates timing component variation and improves production consistency compared to adjustable supervisors.
Is a pull-up resistor required on the RESET pin?
Yes - the RESET pin is open-drain and active-low, so an external pull-up resistor (typically 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ) to a valid logic voltage (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V) is mandatory to establish a defined high state when not asserted.
Does APX803L05-18SA-7 support operation below 1.0 V VCC?
No - the recommended minimum VCC is 0.9 V, but functional reset assertion only occurs down to approximately 0.7 V. Below 0.9 V, supply current increases and threshold accuracy degrades; operation below 0.7 V is outside specification and not guaranteed.
