Product details
Overview
APX803L20-34SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, providing precise 3.4V threshold detection with ±1.5% accuracy, 220ms reset timeout, and 1µA typical supply current in SOT23 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 APX803L20-34SA-7 datasheet, APX803L20-34SA-7 pinout, APX803L20-34SA-7 application, or APX803L20-34SA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include threshold voltage tolerance, reset delay stability over temperature, open-drain sink capability (3.5mA @ 0.4V), and compatibility with low-voltage microcontrollers operating down to 0.9V supply.
Technical Context
The APX803L20-34SA-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with built-in hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during VCC recovery. Its internal comparator continuously monitors VCC against a fixed 3.4V threshold and asserts RESET when VCC drops below that level.
Reset assertion remains active until VCC exceeds 3.4V + hysteresis, followed by a guaranteed 220ms (min–max: 143–297ms) timeout before deassertion. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient with no external components required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | 3.4V ±1.5% - ensures reliable reset initiation at defined system brown-out point |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA typical - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered devices |
| Reset Timeout | 220ms nominal (143–297ms range) - provides sufficient hold time for µP initialization sequences |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - supports wired-OR reset bus and flexible pull-up voltage selection |
| Response Time | ≤20µs - guarantees rapid fault detection during fast VCC transients |
| Operating Voltage | 0.9V to 5.5V - supports supervision of 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V rails |
| Hysteresis | 0.01×VTH (34mV) - prevents chatter during slow VCC recovery near threshold |
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 directly to system power plane |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain output; requires external pull-up to logic rail (e.g., VCC or IOVDD) |
| 3 | VCC | Power input; supplies internal circuitry and sets monitored rail |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 3.4V threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider, reducing BOM count and layout area |
| 220ms factory-programmed delay | Matches typical µP reset timing requirements without capacitor tuning |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy | Reduces design margin overhead vs. ±3% alternatives, enabling tighter supply design |
| 1µA supply current | Minimizes quiescent drain on energy-constrained systems such as wearable biosensors |
| –40°C to +85°C operation | Validated for industrial and extended-temperature portable equipment deployment |
Applications
| Smart Wearable Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous ECG/PPG monitoring powered by CR2032 battery with ultra-low sleep current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor asserting reset if main rail dips below 3.4V during RF transmission burst. Use Value: Prevents firmware corruption by ensuring µC only resumes execution after stable 3.3V rail recovery. |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted digital input module operating from 24VDC converted to 3.3V via buck regulator. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors post-regulation 3.3V rail; holds system in reset during brownout events lasting <220ms. Use Value: Guarantees deterministic startup sequence and avoids spurious I/O state transitions during line fluctuations. |
| Wireless Sensor Nodes | Portable Medical Diagnostic Tools |
Use Scenario: LoRaWAN node using intermittent wake-up cycles with sub-µA deep-sleep current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects 3.4V threshold breach caused by battery aging or cold-temperature voltage sag. Use Value: Triggers graceful shutdown before data loss occurs, preserving last valid sensor readings in nonvolatile memory. |
Use Scenario: Handheld pulse oximeter powered by two AAA alkaline cells (1.5V × 2 = 3.0V nominal). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 3.3V LDO output; asserts reset when cell voltage decays below usable level. Use Value: Ensures clinical-grade measurement integrity by disabling analog front-end before ADC reference drifts out of spec. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V threshold, 200ms delay, 1.1µA ICC, SOT23-6 package | Requires external pull-up and has larger footprint; higher pin count adds routing complexity | Prefer when dual-supply monitoring or manual delay adjustment is needed |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 3.08V threshold, 140ms delay, 10µA ICC, SOT23-3 package | Higher quiescent current limits battery life; lower threshold may trigger prematurely in 3.3V systems | Acceptable only where 3.08V trip point aligns with system brown-out specification |
Compared with TPS3808G33DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L20-34SA-7 offers tighter threshold accuracy (±1.5% vs ±2%), lower ICC (1µA vs 10µA), and exact 3.4V trip matching common 3.3V LDO dropout margins-making it optimal for space- and energy-constrained designs requiring deterministic reset behavior.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for APX803L20-34SA-7?
The APX803L20-34SA-7 has a factory-trimmed threshold voltage of 3.4V with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature (–40°C to +85°C). This value is fixed internally and cannot be adjusted externally. Measured hysteresis is 0.01×VTH (34mV), ensuring clean release above 3.434V.
Can APX803L20-34SA-7 monitor a 1.8V supply rail?
No - the APX803L20-34SA-7 is specified to monitor rails between 0.9V and 5.5V, but its 3.4V threshold is fixed and not scalable. To supervise a 1.8V rail, use APX803L18-XXSA-7 (1.8V variant) or a programmable supervisor like the APX811 series.
What is the maximum sink current capability of the RESET pin?
The RESET pin supports up to 20mA absolute maximum sink current, with a guaranteed VOL ≤ 0.4V at ISINK = 3.5mA and VCC = VTH − 0.2V. For standard 3.3V systems with 10kΩ pull-up, typical sink current is <0.33mA - well within safe operating limits.
Is APX803L20-34SA-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No - APX803L20-34SA-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., APX803L20-34SA-7Q) with PPAP documentation, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and extended temperature screening. Contact Diodes sales for qualified part numbers.
