Product details
Overview
APX803L-15SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, providing precise 1.5V threshold detection with ±1.5% accuracy, 1µA typical supply current, and open-drain active-low reset output in SOT23 package-used in battery-powered IoT sensors and portable medical devices to ensure reliable power-on reset sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L-15SA-7 datasheet, APX803L-15SA-7 pinout, APX803L-15SA-7 application, or APX803L-15SA-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified threshold voltage, reset delay timing (0ms default), supply current, thermal performance, and pin-level functional roles-critical for low-power system reliability validation and BOM optimization.
Technical Context
The APX803L-15SA-7 implements a fixed-threshold voltage monitoring circuit with internal 1.5V reference, hysteresis of 0.01×VTH (15mV), and temperature coefficient of 50ppm/°C. Its comparator-based architecture triggers reset when VCC drops below 1.5V and holds reset until VCC exceeds 1.515V (rising threshold).
It features a fast 20µs response time from VCC drop to RESET assertion and operates across -40°C to +85°C ambient range with supply voltage from 0.9V to 5.5V-enabling integration into ultra-low-voltage microcontroller subsystems without external biasing or timing components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.5V ±1.5% - ensures deterministic power-up reset at precisely defined rail level for 1.8V I/O domain systems |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA typical - imposes negligible load on coin-cell or energy-harvested supplies in always-on monitoring |
| Reset Response Time | 20µs - guarantees sub-microsecond fault detection for real-time safety-critical firmware initialization |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - supports wired-OR reset bus sharing and flexible pull-up voltage selection (up to 5.5V) |
| Operating Voltage Range | 0.9V to 5.5V - enables direct connection to Li-ion battery rails (2.7–4.2V) and 3.3V/5V logic domains |
| Hysteresis | 15mV (0.01×VTH) - prevents reset chatter during slow-rising or noisy supply transitions |
| Temperature Coefficient | 50ppm/°C - limits threshold drift to ±0.63% over -40°C to +85°C, preserving reset margin in automotive cabin environments |
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 | Primary return path for internal comparator and output stage; must be connected to system ground plane for stable threshold reference |
| 2 (RESET) | Open-Drain Reset Output | Active-low signal asserted when VCC < 1.5V; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ) to host VCC or higher rail |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply Input | Monitored power rail input; powers internal circuitry and defines detection domain-no separate reference supply needed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required | Self-contained detection with internal reference and hysteresis-reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained wearables |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.0µA typ. enables >10-year battery life in CR2032-powered remote sensors operating at 1Hz wake-up rate |
| High threshold accuracy | ±1.5% tolerance eliminates need for factory calibration in consumer-grade portable equipment |
| Fast reset assertion | 20µs propagation ensures MCU reset occurs before core logic enters undefined state during brownout |
| Robust ESD protection | ±4000V HBM rating allows safe handling in standard assembly lines without special ESD controls |
Applications
| Smart Wearable Power Sequencing | Industrial Sensor Node Supervision |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: A wrist-worn health monitor uses a 3.0V LiPo battery and ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU requiring clean reset at power-up and brownout recovery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: APX803L-15SA-7 monitors the 3.0V rail and asserts active-low RESET to hold MCU in reset until voltage stabilizes above 1.5V. Use Value: Prevents firmware crash during battery insertion or low-voltage transient by guaranteeing minimum 1.5V rail integrity before execution begins. |
Use Scenario: A wireless vibration sensor node deployed in factory machinery runs on primary 3.3V supply with backup supercapacitor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects main rail collapse and initiates controlled shutdown via MCU interrupt triggered by RESET deassertion edge. Use Value: Enables graceful data save and flash write completion before power loss-eliminating corrupted sensor logs. |
| Medical Patch Monitor Reset Control | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) Subsystem |
Use Scenario: Disposable ECG patch powered by thin-film battery must operate reliably across -20°C to +50°C ambient range. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides temperature-stable 1.5V reset threshold with 50ppm/°C drift-ensuring consistent behavior during patient movement-induced thermal shifts. Use Value: Maintains FDA-required functional safety margin without recalibration, supporting Class II medical device certification. |
Use Scenario: BCM sub-module (e.g., door lock controller) receives switched 12V-to-3.3V DC/DC output subject to load dump transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors post-regulator 3.3V rail and asserts RESET within 20µs if voltage dips below 1.5V during transient event. Use Value: Guarantees deterministic MCU restart after ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a events-meeting OEM robustness requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB15DBVR | 1.5V threshold, 0.5µA supply current, but only 0ms/200ms delay options-no 55ms/450ms variants | Requires redesign of reset timing if 55ms debounce is critical for MCU boot sequence | Select when lowest possible current (<0.5µA) is prioritized over delay flexibility |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 1.5V threshold, ±2.5% accuracy, 10µA supply current, SOT23-3 package | Higher current draw reduces battery life in multi-year deployments; wider tolerance may require margin adjustment in tight-rail designs | Select when legacy MAX809 footprint compatibility is mandatory and 10µA current is acceptable |
Compared with TLV803EB15DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L-15SA-7 offers superior threshold accuracy (±1.5% vs. ±2.5%), lower supply current than MAX809, and unique 55ms/220ms/450ms delay options-making it optimal for next-gen ultra-low-power embedded systems demanding precision and timing flexibility.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for APX803L-15SA-7?
The APX803L-15SA-7 has a nominal reset threshold of 1.5V with guaranteed accuracy of ±1.5% over temperature (−40°C to +85°C), meaning the actual trip point falls between 1.4775V and 1.5225V at 25°C, and includes 15mV hysteresis to prevent oscillation during slow supply ramps.
Does APX803L-15SA-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 4.7kΩ to 10kΩ) to a valid logic rail (e.g., 3.3V or 5V) is mandatory to generate a high-level signal when not asserted; no internal pull-up is provided.
Can APX803L-15SA-7 operate with supply voltages below 1.5V?
Yes-it functions down to 0.9V supply (per Recommended Operating Conditions), but reset assertion only occurs when VCC falls below 1.5V; below 0.9V, device behavior is undefined and not guaranteed per datasheet specifications.
Is APX803L-15SA-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No-APX803L-15SA-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified; Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., APX803L-15SA-7Q) with PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing, but this specific part number is intended for industrial and consumer applications only.
