Product details
Overview
APX803L20-29W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, providing precise 2.9V 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 APX803L20-29W5-7 datasheet, APX803L20-29W5-7 pinout, APX803L20-29W5-7 application, or APX803L20-29W5-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed 2.9V detection level, 220ms recovery delay, SOT25 thermal resistance (200°C/W), open-drain output drive capability, and operation across –40°C to +85°C ambient range.
Technical Context
The APX803L20-29W5-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during VCC transitions near threshold. Its internal comparator triggers an active-low reset signal when VCC drops below 2.9V and holds it until VCC rises above 2.9V + hysteresis.
Reset assertion occurs within 20µs of VCC crossing the falling threshold, and the device sustains the reset state for exactly 220ms after VCC recovers-guaranteed across temperature (–40°C to +85°C) and supply voltage (0.9V to 5.5V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 2.9V ±1.5% - ensures reliable µP reset initiation at defined supply rail margin |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 220ms (typ.) - provides sufficient hold time for full system initialization before release |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA (typ.), 2.5µA (max.) - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - supports wired-OR reset bus and flexible pull-up voltage selection |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial-grade embedded control environments |
| Supply Voltage Range | 0.9V to 5.5V - accommodates single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V logic, and 5V legacy systems |
| Threshold Hysteresis | 0.01×VTH (≈29mV) - prevents chatter during slow-rising or noisy VCC conditions |
Pinout & Package
The APX803L20-29W5-7 is housed in a 3-pin SOT25 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint, 0.95mm height, and 1.27mm lead pitch. Thermal resistance is θJA = 200°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Power input pin - supplies internal circuitry; must be decoupled with ≥100nF capacitor near device |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output - requires external pull-up resistor to host VDD (1.8V–5.5V) |
| 3 | GND | Analog ground reference - must connect directly to low-impedance system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 2.9V detection threshold | Eliminates external resistor network and calibration effort for targeted 3.0V nominal rail supervision |
| 220ms factory-programmed delay | Guarantees deterministic reset hold time without timing capacitor tolerance or temperature drift |
| 1µA typical supply current | Reduces quiescent load on coin-cell or energy-harvesting sources by >95% vs. legacy supervisors |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy | Ensures consistent reset behavior across production lots and temperature without trimming |
| No external components required | Enables minimal BOM count and PCB area - only VCC decoupling cap needed |
Applications
| Smart Wearable Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| APX803L20-29SA-7 | SOT23 package (θJA = 200°C/W), identical electrical specs | Smaller footprint (2.9mm × 1.6mm) but higher thermal resistance in high-power-density layouts | Select for space-constrained PCBs where thermal dissipation is managed via copper pour |
| TLV803E29DBVR | Texas Instruments part; 2.93V threshold, 200ms delay, 0.5µA ICC, SOT23-3 | Lower supply current but tighter 2.93V threshold and no 220ms option - requires design validation for timing margin | Choose when ultra-low ICC dominates over exact 220ms delay requirement |
Compared with APX803L20-29W5-7, the SA variant offers identical functionality in a smaller SOT23, while TLV803E29DBVR trades 20ms less delay and 0.5µA lower current for reduced timing flexibility and non-drop-in threshold alignment.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for APX803L20-29W5-7?
The APX803L20-29W5-7 has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.9V with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature (–40°C to +85°C). This value is fixed internally and does not require external resistors or calibration. Measured hysteresis is 0.01×VTH (≈29mV), ensuring stable release above 2.929V.
Can APX803L20-29W5-7 drive a 10kΩ pull-up resistor to 5V?
Yes - the open-drain RESET pin can sink up to 20mA (absolute max), and typical VOL is ≤0.4V at 3.5mA sink current. With a 10kΩ pull-up to 5V, the output will reliably reach <0.1V under load, satisfying standard CMOS input thresholds for microcontrollers and FPGAs.
Is there a version with adjustable reset delay?
No - the APX803L20-29W5-7 features a factory-programmed 220ms reset timeout. The APX803L family offers only four fixed delay options: 0ms, 55ms, 220ms, and 450ms. Adjustable delays require external RC networks and are not supported in this monolithic voltage detector.
Does APX803L20-29W5-7 meet RoHS and halogen-free requirements?
Yes - APX803L20-29W5-7 is fully RoHS 3 compliant (2015/863/EU), lead-free, and halogen- and antimony-free ("Green" per Diodes Inc. definition: Br+Cl <1500ppm, Sb <1000ppm). Compliance documentation is available via Diodes' quality portal at www.diodes.com/quality.
