Product details
Overview
APX803L-16W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, providing precise 1.6V threshold detection with ±1.5% accuracy, 1µA typical supply current, and 220ms reset timeout in a 3-pin SOT25 package-used in battery-powered IoT sensors and portable medical monitors.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L-16W5-7 datasheet, APX803L-16W5-7 pinout, APX803L-16W5-7 application, or APX803L-16W5-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOT25 terminal mapping, real-world supervisory use cases, and validated alternative parts for power-rail monitoring in space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The APX803L-16W5-7 implements a fixed-threshold, open-drain reset supervisor with internal 1.6V detection set at factory (0.1V step), hysteresis of 0.01×VTH, and temperature coefficient of 50 ppm/°C. It asserts active-low RESET within 20µs when VCC drops below 1.6V and holds it until VCC exceeds 1.6V + hysteresis.
Its 220ms recovery delay (APX803L20 variant) is internally trimmed and stable across -40°C to +85°C ambient, enabling reliable power-up sequencing in microcontroller-based edge nodes without external timing components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.6V ±1.5% - ensures accurate brown-out detection for 1.8V I/O domain logic |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA typical - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries |
| Reset Timeout | 220ms - provides sufficient hold time for slow-ramping power supplies |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - allows wired-OR reset bus sharing across multiple ICs |
| Response Time | 20µs - guarantees fast fault capture before system state corruption |
| Operating Voltage | 0.9V to 5.5V - supports supervision of 1.2V–3.3V rails including LDO outputs |
| Threshold Hysteresis | 0.01×VTH - prevents chatter during marginal supply conditions |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (3-pin, 1.6mm × 2.8mm × 1.1mm) package with exposed pad for thermal enhancement; RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, lead-free construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and output stage |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset signal; requires external pull-up to monitored rail or system VCC |
| 3 | VCC | Power input; also the monitored supply rail for threshold comparison |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803E16DBVR | 1.6V threshold, 350ms delay, 0.5µA supply current, SOT23-3 | Lacks hysteresis specification; tighter 0.5% threshold accuracy but no tempco data published | Select when ultra-low current dominates over hysteresis stability in high-noise environments |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 1.6V threshold, 140ms delay, 10µA supply current, SOT23-3 | Higher ICC increases battery load; same ±1.5% accuracy but wider delay tolerance (±15%) | Choose only if legacy MAX809 footprint compatibility is mandatory and 10µA drain is acceptable |
Compared with TLV803E16DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L-16W5-7 delivers optimal balance of ultra-low ICC (1µA), guaranteed hysteresis (0.01×VTH), and stable 220ms timeout-making it superior for long-life battery systems requiring predictable reset timing across temperature.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and its tolerance for APX803L-16W5-7?
The APX803L-16W5-7 has a factory-set reset threshold of 1.6V with a guaranteed accuracy of ±1.5% over -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, corresponding to a range of 1.576V to 1.624V at +25°C per datasheet DS38171 Rev. 3-2 Section 5.3.
Does APX803L-16W5-7 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 system VCC or monitored rail) is required to generate a valid logic-high level during normal operation; no internal pull-up is integrated.
Can APX803L-16W5-7 monitor a voltage rail different from its supply voltage?
No-it monitors only the VCC pin itself; the device uses VCC as both power source and input for threshold comparison, so it cannot supervise an independent rail like AVDD or a separate 5V supply unless that rail powers the APX803L-16W5-7 directly.
What is the maximum sink current capability of the RESET output?
The RESET output can sink up to 20mA (absolute maximum rating), with VOL ≤ 0.4V at ISINK = 3.5mA per Electrical Characteristics Table (Section 5.4), ensuring robust drive into standard CMOS inputs and reset controller enable pins.
