Product details
Overview
APX803L-17SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, monitoring VCC supply integrity in embedded digital systems. It features a fixed 1.7V detection threshold (±1.5% accuracy), 1µA typical supply current, open-drain active-low RESET output, and zero-millisecond reset delay - enabling immediate fault response in battery-powered instrumentation and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L-17SA-7 datasheet, APX803L-17SA-7 pinout, APX803L-17SA-7 application, or APX803L-17SA-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all grounded in Diodes Incorporated's DS38171 Rev. 3–2 specification.
Technical Context
The APX803L-17SA-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during supply ramp-up/down. Its internal threshold is factory-trimmed to 1.7V with ±1.5% tolerance over –40°C to +85°C ambient.
It operates across 0.9V–5.5V supply range, delivers sub-20µs reset assertion time upon VCC drop below threshold, and sustains reset state until VCC exceeds 1.7V by ≥1.5% - ensuring reliable power-on sequencing and brownout recovery in microcontroller-based systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Threshold | 1.7V ±1.5% - ensures accurate power-fail detection at nominal 1.8V logic rails without external calibration. |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA (typ.), 2.5µA (max.) - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Reset Delay | 0ms - provides instantaneous reset assertion for critical fail-fast system behavior. |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - supports wired-OR reset bus architectures and flexible pull-up voltage selection (up to 5.5V). |
| Response Time | <20µs - guarantees deterministic reset timing for high-speed µP clock domains requiring sub-100µs fault reaction. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and portable equipment environments. |
| Package | SOT23-3 - surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly and space-constrained PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package: ultra-compact 3-pin surface-mount outline (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), RoHS-compliant, lead-free, halogen-free "Green" construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and voltage reference; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; requires external pull-up resistor to define logic-high level and sink capability (≤20mA). |
| 3 | VCC | Power supply input; supplies internal circuitry and monitors itself - no separate sense pin required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over temperature - eliminates need for system-level calibration in cost-sensitive consumer and industrial designs. |
| No External Components | Self-contained detection circuit - reduces BOM count and PCB area versus discrete resistor-divider + comparator solutions. |
| Fast Reset Assertion | <20µs propagation delay - meets tight timing budgets for ARM Cortex-M and RISC-V MCU boot sequences. |
| Low-Temp Drift | 50 ppm/°C threshold coefficient - maintains stable trip point across automotive cabin and industrial ambient ranges. |
| ESD Robustness | ±4000V HBM - enhances manufacturing yield and field reliability in handling-intensive assembly environments. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered glucose meters and pulse oximeters require guaranteed reset on battery voltage sag below 1.7V to prevent corrupted measurements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor asserting active-low RESET to halt MCU execution and preserve SRAM state until safe restart. Use Value: 1µA quiescent current extends single-CR2032 battery life beyond 5 years in standby mode. |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted PLC modules monitor 3.3V FPGA configuration rails for brownout events during factory floor voltage fluctuations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary power-good indicator feeding watchdog timer and FPGA configuration controller via shared reset bus. Use Value: ±1.5% threshold accuracy prevents nuisance resets during nominal 3.3V ±5% supply variation. |
| Smart Home Hub Controllers | Automotive Body Control Units |
Use Scenario: Wi-Fi-enabled home automation hubs use 1.7V detection to guard against USB power adapter instability during firmware updates. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: System-level power supervisor triggering controlled shutdown of RF transceivers and memory before voltage collapse. Use Value: 0ms delay ensures immediate reset assertion - eliminating risk of flash corruption during power interruption. |
Use Scenario: BCMs monitor 1.8V microcontroller core supply derived from buck converter; must detect <1.7V faults within 20µs to meet ISO 16750-2 transient immunity requirements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dedicated rail monitor interfacing directly with MCU's nRST pin and safety diagnostic chain. Use Value: Sub-20µs response time satisfies ASIL-B timing constraints for non-safety-critical but reliability-sensitive subsystems. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EA17DPWR | 1.7V threshold, 0.5µA IQ, SOT-23-3, but only 100ms min delay option - no 0ms variant available. | Not suitable where immediate reset assertion is required; better for systems needing debounce filtering. | Select TLV803EA17DPWR only if system design tolerates ≥100ms reset hold time after fault clearance. |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 1.63V threshold (not 1.7V), ±2.5% accuracy, 1.2µA IQ, same SOT-23-3 package and open-drain output. | 1.63V trip point may cause premature reset on 1.8V rails near lower spec limit; less precise than APX803L-17SA-7. | Choose MAX809SEUR+T only when 1.63V threshold aligns with system margin analysis and ±2.5% tolerance is acceptable. |
Compared with TLV803EA17DPWR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L-17SA-7 uniquely delivers exact 1.7V detection with ±1.5% accuracy and zero-delay reset - making it optimal for 1.8V logic systems demanding minimal trip-point error and deterministic fault response.

FAQ
What is the exact detection threshold voltage of APX803L-17SA-7?
The APX803L-17SA-7 has a factory-trimmed detection threshold of 1.7V with ±1.5% accuracy over –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, as specified in Diodes Incorporated's DS38171 Rev. 3–2 datasheet Section 5 (Electrical Characteristics). This value is fixed internally and not adjustable.
Does APX803L-17SA-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 to the target logic rail (e.g., 3.3V or 1.8V) is mandatory to establish a valid high-level signal. Typical values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ depending on bus capacitance and rise-time requirements.
Can APX803L-17SA-7 operate with a 0.9V supply voltage?
No - while the Absolute Maximum Rating allows VCC down to 0.9V, the Recommended Operating Conditions specify a minimum VCC of 0.9V only for functional testing; actual reliable detection requires VCC ≥1.02×VTH = 1.734V per datasheet Section 5, Table "tDELAY".
Is APX803L-17SA-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No - the APX803L-17SA-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes Incorporated explicitly states in the datasheet that automotive-grade variants require specific change control, PPAP capability, and IATF 16949 manufacturing - none of which apply to this part. Use only in industrial or consumer applications.
