Product details
Overview
APX803L-18W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, monitoring VCC supply levels in embedded and battery-powered systems. It features a fixed 1.8V detection threshold (±1.5% accuracy), 1µA typical supply current, open-drain active-low RESET output, and 220ms reset timeout - enabling reliable power-up sequencing in portable instrumentation and IoT edge nodes.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L-18W5-7 datasheet, APX803L-18W5-7 pinout, APX803L-18W5-7 application, or APX803L-18W5-7 equivalent, this device serves as a low-burden, precision reset supervisor where supply current <2.5µA, threshold stability over -40°C to +85°C, and configurable delay timing are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
The APX803L-18W5-7 implements a comparator-based voltage supervision architecture with internal hysteresis (0.01×VTH) and temperature-compensated bandgap reference. Its reset assertion occurs when VCC drops below 1.8V and remains asserted until VCC exceeds 1.8V + hysteresis, ensuring noise immunity during brown-out recovery.
It operates across 0.9V–5.5V supply range and delivers sub-20µs reset response time upon VCC drop. The 220ms delay variant (indicated by "20" in part number) is factory-programmed and stable over temperature (±10% variation from -40°C to +85°C), eliminating external RC timing components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Threshold | 1.8V ±1.5% - precise reset initiation point for 1.8V logic rails and low-voltage microcontrollers |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA typical - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered devices without measurable battery drain |
| Reset Timeout | 220ms (typ.) - ensures sufficient hold time for full µP initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - supports wired-OR reset bus architectures and flexible pull-up voltage selection |
| Response Time | <20µs - guarantees rapid fault detection during fast transients or sudden power collapse |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |
| VCC Range | 0.9V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V system rails |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin) package with 3 functional terminals and 2 no-connect pins; compact surface-mount footprint optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and output stage; must be low-impedance connection |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset signal; requires external pull-up to system VCC or logic rail |
| 3 | VCC | Power input and monitored supply rail; powers internal circuitry and senses voltage level |
| 4, 5 | NC | No internal connection; electrically isolated and may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| 220ms reset timeout | Internally generated delay ensures µP reset pulse meets ARM Cortex-M and RISC-V boot requirements |
| 1µA supply current | Enables integration into always-on sensor nodes without compromising battery lifetime |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy | Guarantees consistent reset behavior across production lots and temperature extremes |
| Open-drain output | Allows shared reset bus across multiple ICs and compatibility with mixed-voltage systems |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered glucose meters and wearable ECG monitors requiring ultra-low standby current and reliable cold-start reset. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor asserting active-low RESET until regulated 1.8V rail stabilizes post-battery insertion or wake-up. Use Value: 1µA quiescent current extends shelf life and operational runtime; ±1.5% threshold prevents false resets during battery voltage sag. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803E18DBVR | 1.8V threshold, 200ms delay, 0.5µA supply current, SOT-23-3 package | Lacks NC pins; smaller footprint but no mechanical redundancy; lower ICC reduces battery load further | Select when board space is constrained and 200ms delay suffices; verify compatibility with existing SOT25 land pattern |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 1.8V threshold, 140ms delay, 10µA supply current, SOT-23-3 package | Higher ICC increases battery drain; shorter delay may not meet modern µP boot timing | Use only in non-battery applications or where legacy design reuse justifies higher current and reduced timing margin |
Compared with TLV803E18DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L-18W5-7 offers superior thermal stability of delay timing, SOT25 mechanical robustness for automated assembly, and optimal balance of ultra-low ICC with industry-standard 220ms reset hold time.

FAQ
What is the function of pins 4 and 5 on the APX803L-18W5-7?
Pins 4 and 5 are no-connect (NC) terminals with no internal electrical connection. They serve mechanical anchoring purposes in the SOT25 package and may be left unconnected or tied to GND for improved solder joint reliability during reflow. No current flows through these pins, and they do not affect device functionality.
Can the APX803L-18W5-7 be used with a 1.2V supply rail?
No. The APX803L-18W5-7 requires a minimum VCC of 0.9V to operate, but its internal circuitry is designed to monitor rails ≥1.8V. Applying VCC = 1.2V will prevent proper internal biasing and result in undefined RESET behavior; it is not rated or characterized for use below its 1.8V detection threshold.
How does the 220ms reset timeout behave during temperature variation?
The 220ms delay is specified at +25°C and varies within ±10% across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range, as confirmed by characterization data in DS38171 Rev. 3–2 Figure 5. This stability is achieved via on-chip temperature-compensated RC timing, eliminating drift-related boot failures in thermally dynamic environments.
Is the APX803L-18W5-7 qualified for automotive applications?
The APX803L-18W5-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes Incorporated offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., APX803L-18W5-7Q) with PPAP capability, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and extended qualification testing.
