Product details
Overview
APX803L20-14SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, providing precise 2.0V threshold detection with ±1.5% accuracy, 220ms reset timeout, and 1µA typical supply current in SOT23-3 package. It delivers active-low open-drain reset signaling for power monitoring in battery-powered embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L20-14SA-7 datasheet, APX803L20-14SA-7 pinout, APX803L20-14SA-7 application, or APX803L20-14SA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include threshold voltage tolerance, reset delay stability over temperature, open-drain sink capability (3.5mA @ 0.4V), and compatibility with low-voltage microcontroller reset inputs requiring fast recovery (20µs).
Technical Context
The APX803L20-14SA-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with internal hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during VCC brownout recovery. Its comparator architecture triggers reset when VCC drops below 2.0V and holds until VCC exceeds 2.016V (1.5% hysteresis margin).
It integrates a temperature-compensated timing circuit delivering stable 220ms (min–max: 143–297ms) reset assertion period across –40°C to +85°C ambient, with no external components required for basic operation.
Key Specifications

| Supply Current | 1.0µA typical - enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell IoT sensors |
| Reset Timeout | 220ms (143–297ms range) - ensures reliable µP initialization after power-up |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V/5V µP reset inputs via pull-up |
| Response Time | 20µs max - detects rapid VCC dips before system lockup occurs |
| Operating Voltage | 0.9V to 5.5V - supports wide-input LDOs and battery discharge profiles |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial and portable equipment 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 | Return path for internal bias and output sink current; must be low-impedance |
| 2 (RESET) | Open-Drain Reset Output | Active-low signal; requires external pull-up to host VCC (1.8V–5.5V); sinks up to 3.5mA |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply Input | Powers internal reference and comparator; operates down to 0.9V for ultra-low-VDD detection |
Key Features

|---|---|
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% at +25°C - eliminates need for external calibration in cost-sensitive designs |
| No External Components | Self-contained detection - reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. resistor-divider solutions |
| Low-Temp Drift | 50 ppm/°C threshold coefficient - maintains 2.0V trip point within ±12mV from –40°C to +85°C |
| Fast Response | 20µs detection-to-reset assertion - prevents µP execution errors during transient undervoltage |
| Robust ESD Rating | ±4000V HBM - withstands handling and board-level ESD events without latch-up |
Applications

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and tolerance for APX803L20-14SA-7?
The APX803L20-14SA-7 has a nominal reset threshold of 2.0V with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature (–40°C to +85°C), meaning the actual trip point falls between 1.97V and 2.03V at +25°C and remains within ±12mV drift across its full operating range due to its 50 ppm/°C temperature coefficient.
Can APX803L20-14SA-7 drive a 10kΩ pull-up to 3.3V directly?
Yes - the open-drain RESET pin can sink up to 3.5mA at 0.4V output low, resulting in only 0.4V drop across a 10kΩ pull-up to 3.3V (0.33mA load), ensuring a robust logic-low signal well below any standard CMOS input threshold.
Does APX803L20-14SA-7 require an external capacitor for stable operation?
No - the APX803L20-14SA-7 is fully self-contained with no external timing or filtering capacitors required. Its internal oscillator and reference circuitry deliver stable 220ms reset timeout and accurate threshold detection without additional components.
Is APX803L20-14SA-7 qualified for automotive applications?
The APX803L20-14SA-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified; Diodes Incorporated offers separate automotive-grade variants (e.g., APX803L20-14SA-7Q) with PPAP support and IATF 16949 manufacturing. This part is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and intended for non-safety-critical consumer and industrial use.
