Product details
Overview
APX803L20-23SA-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 2.3V detection threshold (±1.5% accuracy), 1µA typical supply current, 220ms reset timeout, open-drain active-low RESET output, and operates from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature - enabling reliable power-up sequencing in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L20-23SA-7 datasheet, APX803L20-23SA-7 pinout, APX803L20-23SA-7 application, or APX803L20-23SA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include threshold voltage tolerance, reset delay stability over temperature, low-quiescent-current impact on battery life, and SOT23 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The APX803L20-23SA-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with built-in hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during supply ramp-up/down. Its internal comparator triggers an open-drain RESET signal when VCC falls below 2.3V and holds it active until VCC exceeds the release threshold (2.3V + hysteresis).
Reset assertion occurs within 20µs of VCC crossing the falling threshold, and the 220ms timeout (typ.) is factory-programmed - no external capacitor required. The device draws only 1µA at VCC = VTH + 0.2V, making it suitable for always-on monitoring in energy-constrained nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Threshold | 2.3V ±1.5% - ensures accurate brown-out detection for 2.5V/3.3V logic rails with minimal false resets |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA (typ.), 2.5µA (max.) - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries without measurable drain |
| Reset Timeout | 220ms (typ.) - provides sufficient hold time for µP initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Response Time | ≤20µs - guarantees fast fault capture before system state corruption occurs |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - allows wired-OR configuration and flexible pull-up voltage selection (up to 5.5V) |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - supports industrial and extended commercial environments without derating |
| Package | SOT23-3 - surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly and thermal management up to 200°C/W θJA |

| Fixed 0.1V-step thresholds | 2.3V option precisely matches common I/O voltage domains (e.g., 2.5V LDO outputs) |
| High accuracy over temperature | ±1.5% threshold tolerance maintained across −40°C to +85°C, minimizing calibration overhead |
| Low-temperature coefficient | 50 ppm/°C ∆VTH ensures stable trip point in thermally varying enclosures |
| Lead-free & green compliance | Fully RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU), halogen- and antimony-free - meets global environmental compliance mandates |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Node | Medical Wearable |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB23DBVR | 2.3V threshold, 200ms delay, 0.5µA IQ, SOT23-3 - lower supply current but tighter temp range (−40°C to +125°C) | Higher max ambient rating suits automotive under-hood use; not qualified to AEC-Q100 | Select if sub-1µA IQ is critical and operating above +85°C is required |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 2.3V threshold, 240ms delay, 12µA IQ, SOT23-3 - higher supply current, wider VCC range (1V–5.5V) | Less suitable for coin-cell lifetime-critical designs; better for noisy industrial rails due to higher noise immunity | Select if robustness against EFT/burst noise outweighs quiescent current penalty |
Compared with TLV803EB23DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L20-23SA-7 delivers optimal balance of ultra-low IQ (1µA), production-ready 220ms timing, and industrial-grade temperature support - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, long-life portable electronics where every nanoamp counts.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for APX803L20-23SA-7?
The APX803L20-23SA-7 has a factory-trimmed detection threshold of 2.3V with ±1.5% accuracy over −40°C to +85°C. This value is fixed internally and cannot be adjusted externally. The release threshold is approximately 2.3V plus hysteresis (0.01×2.3V = 23mV), ensuring clean, bounce-free reset deassertion.
Can APX803L20-23SA-7 drive a 10kΩ pull-up resistor to 5V?
Yes - the open-drain RESET output can sink ≥3.5mA at VOL ≤0.4V (VCC = VTH − 0.2V), supporting standard 10kΩ pull-ups to 5V. At 5V pull-up, the resulting output low voltage remains <0.4V, satisfying TTL and CMOS input thresholds for most µPs and FPGAs.
Does APX803L20-23SA-7 require an external capacitor for timing?
No - the 220ms reset timeout is fully integrated and factory-programmed. No external capacitor or resistor is needed, simplifying layout and eliminating timing drift due to component tolerance or temperature variation.
Is APX803L20-23SA-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No - APX803L20-23SA-7 is specified for industrial/commercial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, Diodes offers the APX803L20-23SA-7Q variant (with Q suffix), which undergoes PPAP and is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities.
