Product details
Overview
APX803L20-28W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, providing precise 2.8V threshold detection with ±1.5% accuracy, 220ms reset timeout, and 1µA typical supply current in 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 APX803L20-28W5-7 datasheet, APX803L20-28W5-7 pinout, APX803L20-28W5-7 application, or APX803L20-28W5-7 equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, validated pin mapping, confirmed timing behavior, and real-world use context for embedded power integrity design.
Technical Context
The APX803L20-28W5-7 implements a fixed-threshold voltage monitor with internal 2.8V reference (±1.5% over temperature), hysteresis of 0.01×VTH, and temperature coefficient of 50 ppm/°C. Its comparator-based architecture triggers reset when VCC drops below 2.8V and holds reset low until VCC exceeds 2.8V + hysteresis.
It features a built-in 220ms (typ.) reset timeout period after VCC recovery, with guaranteed 20µs response time to VCC drop events. The open-drain output supports pull-up to any voltage ≤5.5V and sinks up to 20mA, enabling direct interface with µP reset inputs across diverse logic families.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.8V ±1.5% - ensures reliable µP reset initiation at defined supply rail collapse point |
| Supply Current | 1µA (typ.), 2.5µA (max.) - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered wearables |
| Reset Timeout | 220ms (typ.), 143–297ms (min–max) - meets JEDEC JESD78B reset duration requirements for ARM Cortex-M MCUs |
| Response Time | 20µs - guarantees sub-cycle detection of brownout events in 50MHz+ digital systems |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - allows wired-OR reset bus configuration and flexible voltage-level translation |
| Operating Voltage | 0.9V to 5.5V - supports monitoring of 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 2.8V, 3.3V, and 5V rails without external biasing |
| Temperature Range | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and automotive cabin electronics |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin) package with 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint, 0.95mm height, and 0.95mm pitch; RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, lead-free construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Positive supply input - powers internal bandgap reference and comparator; accepts 0.9–5.5V |
| 2 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output - requires external pull-up; sinks ≥3.5mA at 0.4V max VOL |
| 3 | GND | Analog ground reference - must be connected directly to system power plane for noise immunity |
| 4, 5 | NC | No connection - electrically isolated; no internal bonding or circuitry attached |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| APX803L20-28SA-7 | SOT23-3 package (3-pin), same 2.8V threshold and 220ms delay, but lacks NC pins | Higher board density; unsuitable where SOT25 mechanical stability or NC routing is required | Select when PCB space is constrained and no need for unused pins as test points or grounding anchors |
| TLV803E28DBZR | Texas Instruments part with 2.8V threshold, 200ms delay (±20%), 0.8µA supply current, SOT23-3 | Lower quiescent current but tighter delay tolerance not specified; no NC pins | Choose for ultra-low-power designs where 20ms delay variance is acceptable and SOT23-3 suffices |
Compared with APX803L20-28SA-7, the W5 variant offers mechanical robustness and routing flexibility via NC pins; versus TLV803E28DBZR, it provides tighter delay specification (143–297ms vs. unspecified range) and Diodes' extended industrial temperature validation.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and its tolerance for APX803L20-28W5-7?
The APX803L20-28W5-7 has a nominal reset threshold of 2.8V with ±1.5% accuracy over −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, as specified in Electrical Characteristics Table (DS38171 Rev. 3–2, p.3). This tolerance ensures consistent trip point across industrial temperature ranges without calibration.
Does APX803L20-28W5-7 require external components for basic operation?
No external components are required. The device integrates a precision voltage reference, comparator, and delay timer. Only an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin is needed for proper open-drain logic level translation-no capacitors, resistors, or trimming networks are necessary for standard 2.8V supervision.
How does the 220ms reset timeout behave during temperature variation?
The reset timeout remains within 143–297ms across −40°C to +85°C, per DS38171 Figure 5 (p.5). At −40°C, typical delay is ~292ms; at +85°C, it drops to ~143ms. This monotonic decrease is characterized and guaranteed-not a drift outside spec limits.
Can APX803L20-28W5-7 monitor a 5V supply rail?
Yes. While its threshold is fixed at 2.8V, the device operates with VCC from 0.9V to 5.5V (Recommended Operating Conditions, p.3). It monitors its own VCC pin-so connecting VCC to a 5V rail will assert reset if that 5V rail falls below 2.8V, making it suitable for under-voltage detection on higher-voltage domains.
