Product details
Overview
APX803L20-17W5-7 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 a 3-pin SOT25 package. It delivers active-low open-drain reset signaling for power monitoring in battery-powered IoT sensors and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L20-17W5-7 datasheet, APX803L20-17W5-7 pinout, APX803L20-17W5-7 application, or APX803L20-17W5-7 equivalent, this device supports critical low-power system initialization, brown-out protection, and reset timing control where supply current <2.5µA max and threshold stability across -40°C to +85°C are required.
Technical Context
The APX803L20-17W5-7 implements a fixed-threshold voltage detector with internal hysteresis (0.01×VTH) and temperature-compensated bandgap reference, enabling stable 2.0V detection across -40°C to +85°C operating range. Its open-drain RESET output sinks up to 20mA and requires no external pull-up for basic operation.
Reset assertion occurs within 20µs of VCC falling below 2.0V, and recovery remains delayed for 220ms after VCC rises above 2.0V - a factory-programmed delay option confirmed in the ordering code "20". The device operates from 0.9V to 5.5V supply and features no external components requirement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | 2.0V ±1.5% - ensures reliable µP reset initiation at defined supply rail margin |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA typical, 2.5µA max - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered systems |
| Reset Timeout | 220ms (min–max: 143–297ms) - provides sufficient hold-off for power rail stabilization post-brownout |
| Response Time | 20µs max - guarantees fast fault detection before digital logic corruption |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - allows wired-OR reset bus configuration with multiple supervisors |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - supports industrial and extended commercial ambient environments |
| Package | SOT25 (3-pin) - surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly and space-constrained PCBs |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 is a 3-pin plastic surface-mount package with gull-wing leads, optimized for thermal dissipation (θJA = 200°C/W) and reflow compatibility. Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = RESET (open-drain), Pin 3 = VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Reference ground return path for internal comparator and output stage |
| 2 | RESET | Active-low open-drain output; must be externally pulled up to enable reset signaling |
| 3 | VCC | Power supply input; powers internal reference, comparator, and output driver |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 2.0V Threshold | Factory-trimmed internal reference eliminates need for external resistor network |
| 220ms Recovery Delay | Internally generated timing ensures consistent reset pulse width without capacitor dependency |
| 1µA Supply Current | Enables integration into always-on subsystems without compromising battery life |
| ±1.5% Threshold Accuracy | Reduces design margin overhead compared to ±3% alternatives, improving supply rail utilization |
| Open-Drain Output | Supports multi-source reset bus architecture and level-shifting via external pull-up |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB20DBZR | 2.0V threshold, 200ms delay, 0.5µA supply current, SOT23-3 package | Lacks guaranteed 220ms timing; tighter 0.5% threshold accuracy but higher cost | Select when ultra-low current (<0.6µA) dominates over exact delay match |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 2.0V threshold, 140ms min delay, 10µA supply current, SOT23-3 package | Higher ICC reduces battery lifetime; shorter delay may cause premature release in noisy rails | Choose only for legacy designs requiring pin-for-pin replacement with relaxed current budget |
Compared with TLV803EB20DBZR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L20-17W5-7 uniquely balances 220ms factory-set delay, sub-2.5µA max ICC, and SOT25 mechanical robustness-making it optimal for new designs prioritizing timing precision and long-term energy efficiency in compact form factors.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout duration for APX803L20-17W5-7?
The APX803L20-17W5-7 provides a nominal 220ms reset active timeout period after VCC recovers above the 2.0V threshold, with datasheet-specified min/max values of 143ms and 297ms across temperature and process variation. This delay is factory-programmed and does not require external timing components.
Can APX803L20-17W5-7 operate with a 1.8V supply rail?
Yes - the device operates over VCC = 0.9V to 5.5V, so it functions reliably at 1.8V. However, the 2.0V detection threshold means it will assert RESET whenever VCC falls below 2.0V, making it unsuitable for monitoring 1.8V rails directly; it is intended for supervising ≥2.0V supplies.
Is an external pull-up resistor required on the RESET pin?
Yes - the RESET pin is open-drain and active-low, so an external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ to VCC or host logic rail) is mandatory to establish a valid high state when not asserting reset. No internal pull-up is integrated.
Does APX803L20-17W5-7 meet automotive qualification standards?
No - APX803L20-17W5-7 is rated for industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive applications, Diodes Incorporated offers separate AEC-Q100–qualified variants (e.g., APX803L20Q-series) manufactured in IATF 16949 facilities.
