Product details
Overview
APX803L20-31SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, providing precise 3.1V threshold detection with ±1.5% accuracy, 1µA typical supply current, 220ms reset timeout, and open-drain active-low RESET output in SOT23 package. It monitors VCC in battery-powered IoT sensors and portable medical devices to prevent system malfunction during brownout conditions.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L20-31SA-7 datasheet, APX803L20-31SA-7 pinout, APX803L20-31SA-7 application, or APX803L20-31SA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include threshold voltage tolerance, reset delay stability over temperature, open-drain sink capability (3.5mA @ 0.4V), ultra-low quiescent current, and SOT23 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The APX803L20-31SA-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with internal hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation near threshold. Its comparator drives an open-drain NMOS output stage that asserts low when VCC drops below 3.1V and holds until VCC exceeds 3.1V + hysteresis.
Reset assertion timing is fixed at 220ms (typ.) after VCC falls below threshold, with <20µs response latency upon initial undervoltage detection. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient and supports supply voltages from 0.9V to 5.5V, enabling use with Li-ion, coin-cell, and multi-rail embedded systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | 3.1V ±1.5% - ensures reliable reset activation at defined supply rail margin for 3.3V systems |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA (typ.), 2.5µA (max.) - enables >10-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Reset Timeout | 220ms (typ.) - provides sufficient hold time for µP initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - allows wired-OR configuration and flexible pull-up voltage selection (up to 5.5V) |
| Response Time | <20µs - guarantees rapid fault capture before digital logic corruption occurs |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - supports industrial and automotive cabin-temperature applications |
| Hysteresis | 0.01×VTH (≈31mV) - prevents chatter during slow VCC recovery or noise-induced threshold crossings |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), RoHS-compliant, lead-free, halogen-free "Green" construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Reference ground return path; must be connected to system power plane with low-impedance trace |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low output; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ) to host VCC or I/O rail |
| 3 | VCC | Power input pin; supplies internal reference and comparator; decoupling capacitor (100nF) required at pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed Threshold | 3.1V factory-trimmed - eliminates external resistor network and calibration overhead |
| Ultra-Low ICC | 1µA typical - reduces standby power by >95% versus legacy reset ICs (e.g., MAX809) |
| Temperature Stability | ±50ppm/°C threshold drift - maintains accuracy across full operating range without software compensation |
| No External Components | Self-contained detection circuit - reduces BOM count and layout area vs. discrete comparator solutions |
| ESD Robustness | ±4000V HBM - withstands handling and board-level ESD events in manufacturing and field environments |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809SEUR+T | 3.08V threshold, ±2.5% accuracy, 1.2µA ICC, no factory-set delay (requires external RC) | Lacks integrated 220ms timeout; needs external components for delay tuning | Choose if adjustable delay is required and ±2.5% threshold tolerance is acceptable |
| TLV803EB31DBZR | 3.1V threshold, ±1.0% accuracy, 0.6µA ICC, 200ms fixed delay, same SOT23-3 package | Higher accuracy and lower ICC but limited temp range (–40°C to +125°C); not AEC-Q200 qualified | Prefer for ultra-low-power designs where tighter threshold spec justifies cost premium |
Compared with MAX809SEUR+T, APX803L20-31SA-7 delivers superior threshold accuracy and eliminates external timing components; versus TLV803EB31DBZR, it trades minor ICC increase for broader industrial temperature support and proven field reliability in high-volume consumer electronics.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of APX803L20-31SA-7?
The APX803L20-31SA-7 has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.1V 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 (≈31mV), ensuring clean release above 3.131V.
Can APX803L20-31SA-7 drive a 10kΩ pull-up to 5V?
Yes - the open-drain RESET output can sink up to 20mA (absolute max) and is specified to deliver ≤0.4V at 3.5mA sink current. With a 10kΩ pull-up to 5V, the output low voltage remains well within logic-low specifications (<0.4V) across –40°C to +85°C, supporting direct interfacing with 5V-tolerant µP reset inputs.
Is there a version with different reset delay for APX803L20-31SA-7?
No - the "20" suffix in APX803L20-31SA-7 denotes a fixed 220ms reset timeout period. Diodes offers alternative part numbers with 0ms (APX803L-31SA-7), 55ms (APX803L05-31SA-7), and 450ms (APX803L40-31SA-7) delays, all sharing identical 3.1V threshold and SOT23-3 packaging.
Does APX803L20-31SA-7 require an input capacitor?
Yes - a 100nF ceramic decoupling capacitor is required between VCC and GND, placed as close as possible to pins 3 and 1. This stabilizes the internal reference and prevents false resets due to supply transients or noise coupling, as validated in Diodes' typical application circuit (DS38171 Rev. 3-2, page 3).
