Product details
Overview
APX803L20-27W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, providing precise 2.7 V threshold detection with ±1.5% accuracy, 220 ms reset timeout, and 1 µA 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 APX803L20-27W5-7 datasheet, APX803L20-27W5-7 pinout, APX803L20-27W5-7 application, or APX803L20-27W5-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include threshold voltage tolerance, reset delay stability over temperature, low-quiescent-current operation, and compatibility with 1.0–5.5 V supply rails in space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The APX803L20-27W5-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with internal hysteresis (0.01 × VTH) to prevent reset chatter during supply ramp-up or noise events. Its comparator output drives an open-drain RESET pin that remains asserted until VCC exceeds 2.7 V + hysteresis.
Reset timeout is fixed at 220 ms (typ.) across -40°C to +85°C ambient, verified per DS38171 Rev. 3–2 Figure 5, and the device operates without external components-no capacitor or pull-up resistor required for basic functionality.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | 2.7 V ±1.5% - ensures reliable reset assertion when main supply drops below 2.6595 V at 25°C |
| Supply Current | 1.0 µA (typ.), 2.5 µA (max.) - enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered wearables |
| Reset Timeout | 220 ms (typ.), 143–297 ms (min–max) - provides sufficient hold-off for µP initialization sequences |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - supports wired-OR reset bus architectures and flexible pull-up voltage selection |
| Operating Voltage | 0.9 V to 5.5 V - allows direct connection to 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V logic domains |
| Response Time | ≤20 µs - guarantees rapid fault detection before system state corruption occurs |
| Temp Range | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and automotive cabin electronics |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (3-pin, 1.6 mm × 2.9 mm × 1.1 mm) package with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and lead-free construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Reference ground node; must be connected directly to PCB ground plane for stable threshold accuracy |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; requires external pull-up to host VCC or separate logic rail |
| 3 | VCC | Power input; supplies internal reference and comparator; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) recommended |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 2.7 V threshold | Internally trimmed; eliminates need for external resistive divider or calibration in production |
| 220 ms factory-set delay | Temperature-stable timing element ensures consistent reset hold time without RC component drift |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy | Reduces design margin requirements vs. ±3% alternatives, enabling tighter supply rail design |
| 1 µA typical supply current | Minimizes loading on ultra-low-power LDOs or energy-harvesting power paths |
| No external components | Reduces BOM count, PCB area, and qualification effort for Class II medical or safety-critical designs |
Applications
| Smart Wearables | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous heart-rate monitoring using coin-cell–powered sensor node with BLE radio. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor asserting reset during battery sag below 2.7 V to prevent firmware crash or data corruption. Use Value: 1 µA quiescent current extends operational lifetime beyond 3 years; 220 ms timeout aligns with BLE stack initialization window. | Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted remote I/O terminal operating from 24 VDC supply with local 3.3 V regulation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 3.3 V rail integrity and holds µC in reset during brown-out events caused by EMI or load transients. Use Value: ±1.5% threshold accuracy avoids false resets under nominal 3.3 V ±5% tolerance; -40°C to +85°C rating supports uncooled enclosures. |
| Portable Diagnostic Equipment | Automotive Cabin Sensors |
Use Scenario: Handheld ultrasound probe powered by rechargeable Li-ion battery with dynamic load profiles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects VCC drop below 2.7 V during high-current transducer pulsing and asserts clean reset signal. Use Value: ≤20 µs response time prevents partial frame capture; open-drain output interfaces directly to 1.8 V FPGA reset controller. | Use Scenario: Occupant detection seat sensor with CAN interface and low-power sleep mode. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 5 V analog front-end supply and triggers MCU reset if voltage dips during ignition transient. Use Value: 0.9–5.5 V operating range accommodates wide-input DC/DC converter output; SOT25 footprint fits tight sensor housing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB27DBVR | 2.7 V threshold, 200 ms delay, 0.5 µA IQ, SOT-23-3 package | Lower supply current but no 220 ms option; uses different hysteresis architecture | Select when ultra-low IQ dominates over exact delay match and board rework for SOT-23 is acceptable |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 2.7 V threshold, 140 ms delay, 10 µA IQ, SOT-23-3 package | Higher quiescent current and shorter timeout; wider temp range (-40°C to +125°C) | Select only if extended temperature coverage is mandatory and 140 ms delay satisfies system boot timing |
Compared with TLV803EB27DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L20-27W5-7 uniquely balances 220 ms precision timing, 1 µA supply current, and SOT25 mechanical robustness-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial and portable designs where delay accuracy and low power are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout behavior of APX803L20-27W5-7 over temperature?
The APX803L20-27W5-7 maintains a nominal 220 ms reset timeout across -40°C to +85°C, with min/max values of 143 ms and 297 ms respectively, as confirmed in DS38171 Rev. 3–2 Figure 5. This variation is inherent to the internal RC timing circuit and does not require external compensation.
Can APX803L20-27W5-7 drive a 10 kΩ pull-up to 5 V?
Yes. With VOL ≤ 0.4 V at ISINK = 3.5 mA (per Electrical Characteristics table), the device can reliably sink ≥500 µA into a 10 kΩ pull-up to 5 V, ensuring valid logic-low assertion even under worst-case process/voltage/temperature conditions.
Does APX803L20-27W5-7 require an input capacitor on VCC?
A 100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitor is recommended between VCC and GND (per Typical Applications Circuit), placed as close as possible to the SOT25 pins. This stabilizes the internal reference and prevents false resets due to high-frequency supply noise or transient coupling.
Is APX803L20-27W5-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No. While rated for -40°C to +85°C operation, APX803L20-27W5-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, Diodes recommends contacting their sales team for PPAP-capable, IATF 16949–certified alternatives such as the APX809 series with AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification.
