Product details
Overview
APX803L05-37SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, providing precise 3.7V threshold detection with ±1.5% accuracy, 1µA typical supply current, open-drain active-low reset output, and 55ms reset timeout delay. It monitors VCC in battery-powered embedded systems and portable electronics to ensure reliable power-on reset and brownout recovery.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L05-37SA-7 datasheet, APX803L05-37SA-7 pinout, APX803L05-37SA-7 application, or APX803L05-37SA-7 equivalent, this device supports critical low-power system supervision where tight threshold tolerance, ultra-low quiescent current, and fixed-delay reset timing are required for microcontroller stability.
Technical Context
The APX803L05-37SA-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with internal hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during threshold crossing. Its comparator drives an open-drain NMOS output stage capable of sinking up to 20mA with VOL ≤ 0.4V at 3.5mA sink current.
Reset assertion occurs when VCC falls below 3.7V (±1.5%), and release requires VCC to exceed 3.7V + hysteresis; the built-in 55ms timeout ensures sufficient hold time for processor initialization before release. Temperature coefficient is 50ppm/°C over –40°C to +85°C operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | 3.7V ±1.5% - precisely triggers reset when supply drops below nominal 3.7V rail, enabling stable µP boot sequencing |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA typical - imposes negligible load on battery or low-power rails, extending operational life in portable devices |
| Reset Timeout | 55ms - guarantees minimum reset pulse width for full microcontroller initialization and register clearing |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - allows wired-OR configuration and flexible pull-up voltage selection (up to 5.5V) |
| Response Time | 20µs - ensures rapid detection of fast VCC transients, preventing premature release during supply glitches |
| Operating Range | VCC = 0.9V to 5.5V - supports supervision of 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains with margin |
| Hysteresis | 0.01×VTH (≈37mV) - prevents chatter near threshold during slow-rising/falling supply conditions |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (JEDEC TO-236AB), 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint, 1.45mm height, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground Reference | Return path for internal circuitry and reset output; must be connected directly to system ground plane |
| 2 (RESET) | Open-Drain Reset Output | Active-low signal asserted when VCC < 3.7V; requires external pull-up to host VCC or higher rail (≤5.5V) |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply Input | Monitored power rail input; powers internal reference and comparator; operates down to 0.9V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low supply current | 1.0µA typical enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors and wearables |
| Fixed 3.7V threshold | Factory-trimmed ±1.5% accuracy eliminates need for external resistor networks or calibration |
| 55ms reset timeout | Guarantees sufficient reset hold time for ARM Cortex-M and RISC-V MCU boot ROM execution |
| No external components | Self-contained supervision-no capacitors, resistors, or additional ICs required for basic reset generation |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from –40°C to +85°C ambient, supporting industrial and automotive cabin applications |
Applications
| Smartphone Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC I/O Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors main 3.7V Li-ion battery rail during cold start and deep discharge recovery.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EA37DBZR | 3.7V threshold, ±2.5% accuracy, 0.5µA supply current, 200ms default delay (adjustable via capacitor) | Requires external timing capacitor; lower accuracy but lower IQ; SOT-23-3 pin-compatible | Select when longer reset timeout or lowest possible IQ is prioritized over factory-set timing precision |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 3.08V threshold, ±2.5% accuracy, 12µA supply current, 240ms fixed delay, push-pull output | Higher IQ, different threshold, push-pull (not open-drain), incompatible reset timing and voltage level | Choose only if system requires push-pull output and can accommodate 3.08V trip point and higher current draw |
Compared with TLV803EA37DBZR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L05-37SA-7 delivers tighter threshold accuracy (±1.5% vs. ±2.5%), lower supply current than MAX809, and factory-fixed 55ms timing-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive designs requiring guaranteed reset duration without external components.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for APX803L05-37SA-7?
The APX803L05-37SA-7 has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.7V with a tolerance of ±1.5% over temperature (–40°C to +85°C), meaning the actual trip point falls between 3.645V and 3.755V at 25°C, and maintains this accuracy across its full operating range.
Can APX803L05-37SA-7 drive a 10kΩ pull-up resistor to 5V?
Yes-the open-drain RESET pin can sink up to 20mA with VOL ≤ 0.4V at 3.5mA, so driving a 10kΩ pull-up to 5V (resulting in ~0.5mA load) is well within specification and ensures robust logic-low assertion under all operating conditions.
Is there a version with adjustable reset delay?
No-APX803L05-37SA-7 has a fixed 55ms reset timeout. The APX803L family offers only four factory-set delays (0ms, 55ms, 220ms, 450ms); no variants support externally adjustable timing. For programmable delay, consider Diodes' APX811 series with capacitor-based timing.
Does APX803L05-37SA-7 meet AEC-Q200 for automotive use?
No-APX803L05-37SA-7 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade alternatives (e.g., APX803L05-37SA-7Q) with PPAP support, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and extended temperature screening; contact Diodes or Aetrix for qualified part numbers.
