Product details
Overview
APX803L20-20W5-7 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, open-drain active-low output, and 1µA typical supply current. It monitors VCC in battery-powered devices, portable instrumentation, and embedded controllers requiring reliable power-on reset functionality.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L20-20W5-7 datasheet, APX803L20-20W5-7 pinout, APX803L20-20W5-7 application, or APX803L20-20W5-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include threshold voltage tolerance, reset delay stability over temperature, low-quiescent-current operation in sleep modes, and SOT25 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The APX803L20-20W5-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during threshold crossing. Its internal comparator drives an open-drain NMOS output stage capable of sinking ≥3.5mA at 0.4V max VOL.
Reset assertion occurs within 20µs of VCC dropping below 2.0V (±1.5%), and release requires VCC to exceed 2.01V (typical hysteresis). The fixed 220ms timeout (143–297ms over -40°C to +85°C) is generated by an on-chip RC timing circuit, eliminating external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | 2.0V ±1.5% - ensures reliable reset initiation across industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA typical - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell-powered IoT sensors |
| Reset Timeout | 220ms nominal (143–297ms) - provides sufficient hold time for µP initialization sequences |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - supports wired-OR reset bus architectures and flexible pull-up voltage selection |
| Response Time | 20µs max - guarantees fast fault detection before system state corruption |
| Operating Voltage | 0.9V to 5.5V - supports direct monitoring of 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V rails |
| Hysteresis | 0.01×VTH (20mV) - prevents chatter during slow-rising/falling supply transitions |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin) package with exposed pad for thermal enhancement; pin 4 and 5 are no-connect (NC), enabling layout flexibility without functional compromise.
| 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 output; requires external pull-up resistor to host VCC rail |
| 3 | VCC | Power supply input; powers internal reference, comparator, and timing circuitry |
| 4 | NC | No internal connection; may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability |
| 5 | NC | No internal connection; electrically isolated; no routing required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 2.0V threshold | Eliminates external resistor network; reduces BOM count and layout area in space-constrained designs |
| 220ms factory-programmed delay | Guarantees consistent reset duration without capacitor tolerance drift or temperature coefficient errors |
| 1µA supply current | Minimizes standby power draw in always-on edge nodes, extending battery life by >30% vs. legacy supervisors |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy | Reduces margining requirements in low-voltage systems (e.g., 2.0V ±30mV allows tighter VCC regulation) |
| SOT25 package | Provides 5-pin footprint with NC pins for improved thermal dissipation and mechanical robustness vs. 3-pin SOT23 |
Applications
| Smart Wearables | Industrial PLC Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803E20DBVR | 2.0V threshold, ±2.5% accuracy, 200ms timeout, SOT23-3 package, 0.6µA IQ | Lacks NC pins; lower accuracy increases risk of false reset in tight-margin 2.0V systems | Preferred where board space is critical and 2.5% tolerance is acceptable |
| MAX6326UR20+T | 2.0V threshold, ±1.0% accuracy, 200ms timeout, SOT23-3, 1.5µA IQ | Higher supply current reduces battery life; no NC pins limits thermal relief options | Chosen when highest threshold precision is mandatory and SOT25 footprint is not required |
Compared with TLV803E20DBVR and MAX6326UR20+T, the APX803L20-20W5-7 delivers superior thermal performance via SOT25's dual NC pins, tighter ±1.5% threshold control than the TLV803, and lower IQ than the MAX6326-making it optimal for thermally constrained, long-life, and accuracy-sensitive 2.0V supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout value for APX803L20-20W5-7 across temperature?
The APX803L20-20W5-7 has a nominal reset timeout of 220ms at +25°C, with guaranteed minimum/maximum values of 143ms and 297ms over the full operating range of -40°C to +85°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of DS38171 Rev. 3-2.
Can pin 4 and pin 5 of the SOT25 package be used for thermal relief or grounding?
Pin 4 and pin 5 are internally unconnected (NC) and may be tied to GND or left floating per PCB layout requirements; doing so improves thermal conduction and mechanical anchoring without affecting electrical function, as confirmed in the Pin Descriptions section of the datasheet.
Does APX803L20-20W5-7 require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes-the RESET pin is open-drain active-low and requires an external pull-up resistor to the host system's logic rail (e.g., 1.8V, 3.3V, or 5V); typical values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ depending on rise-time and bus capacitance, as shown in the Typical Applications Circuit.
Is APX803L20-20W5-7 qualified for automotive applications under AEC-Q100?
No-APX803L20-20W5-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified; Diodes Incorporated offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., APX803L20Q) with PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing, but this specific part number is intended for industrial and consumer applications per the product definitions page.
