Product details
Overview
APX803L-13SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, monitoring VCC supply rails in embedded digital systems. It features a fixed 1.3V detection threshold (±1.5% accuracy), 1µA typical supply current, open-drain active-low RESET output, and no external components required. Used in battery-powered instrumentation and portable electronics where low quiescent power and precise brown-out detection are critical.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L-13SA-7 datasheet, APX803L-13SA-7 pinout, APX803L-13SA-7 application, or APX803L-13SA-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SOT23-3 package terminal mapping, timing behavior under voltage transients, and validated alternatives for reset supervisor selection in space-constrained, low-power designs.
Technical Context
The APX803L-13SA-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during slow VCC recovery. Its internal comparator triggers an open-drain RESET signal when VCC drops below 1.3V, holding low until VCC exceeds 1.3V + hysteresis.
No delay is applied (0ms timeout option), enabling immediate system reset assertion upon undervoltage detection. The device operates across -40°C to +85°C ambient, with supply voltage range 0.9V–5.5V and guaranteed 20µs response time from VCC drop to RESET assertion.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Detection Threshold | 1.3V ±1.5% - precise brown-out point for 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V logic domains |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA (typ.) - negligible load on coin-cell or energy-harvesting supplies |
| Reset Response Time | 20µs - ensures deterministic µP reset before supply collapse |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - supports wired-OR reset buses and flexible pull-up voltage selection |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and portable consumer environments |
| Hysteresis | 0.01×VTH (13mV) - prevents chatter during marginal VCC recovery |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EA13DBZR | 1.3V threshold, 0.5µA ICC (lower), but only 1.8V–6.0V VCC range; no 0.9V start-up support | Not suitable for sub-1.8V battery systems; better for 3.3V/5V rails with ultra-low ICC priority | Select if VCC ≥1.8V and sub-µA current is mandatory; verify reset timing meets system POR spec |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 1.3V threshold, 10µA ICC (10× higher), SOT23-3 package, 240ms fixed delay (no 0ms option) | Introduces mandatory 240ms reset hold time-unsuitable for fast-recovery or write-protection use cases | Choose only if system requires long debounce; avoid where immediate reset assertion is needed |
Compared with TLV803EA13DBZR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L-13SA-7 uniquely combines 0ms delay, 0.9V minimum VCC operation, and 1µA ICC in a single SOT23-3 package-making it optimal for deeply embedded, battery-critical applications requiring instantaneous undervoltage response.

FAQ
What is the exact detection threshold voltage of APX803L-13SA-7?
The APX803L-13SA-7 has a factory-trimmed fixed detection threshold of 1.30V with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature (-40°C to +85°C). This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (VTH parameter) of DS38171 Rev. 3-2, and applies across the full recommended operating supply range (0.9V–5.5V).
Does APX803L-13SA-7 require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes. The RESET pin is open-drain and active-low, so an external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ to VCC or another logic rail) is mandatory to establish a valid high-level signal when not asserted. The datasheet specifies a maximum sink current of 20mA and guarantees VOL ≤0.4V at ISINK = 3.5mA.
Can APX803L-13SA-7 operate from a 0.9V supply?
Yes. The Recommended Operating Conditions specify a minimum VCC of 0.9V, and the device maintains functional reset detection down to this level. At 0.9V, the internal bandgap reference remains stable, and the 1.3V threshold is enforced relative to the monitored rail-not the supply itself-enabling use in ultra-low-voltage backup domains.
Is there a version of APX803L-13SA-7 with built-in delay?
No. The "-13SA" suffix denotes the base 1.3V variant with 0ms delay. Delayed versions exist as separate orderables: APX803L05-13SA-7 (55ms), APX803L20-13SA-7 (220ms), and APX803L40-13SA-7 (450ms). These share identical threshold and package but differ in internal timing circuitry and part number.
