Product details
Overview
APX803L20-42W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, providing precise 2.0V 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 APX803L20-42W5-7 datasheet, APX803L20-42W5-7 pinout, APX803L20-42W5-7 application, or APX803L20-42W5-7 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world timing behavior, package-specific pin validation, and direct design-value comparisons to support rapid integration into low-power embedded systems.
Technical Context
The APX803L20-42W5-7 implements a fixed-threshold voltage monitor with hysteresis (0.01×VTH) and internal temperature-compensated bandgap reference, enabling stable 2.0V detection across –40°C to +85°C ambient. Its reset assertion occurs within 20µs of VCC falling below threshold, and release requires VCC to exceed VTH + hysteresis before deassertion.
It features factory-programmed 220ms reset timeout (typ. 220ms, min 143ms, max 297ms), no external components required, and operates from 0.9V to 5.5V supply while maintaining 1µA typical ICC. The open-drain output supports pull-up to any voltage ≤5.5V and sinks up to 20mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.0V ±1.5% - ensures reliable µP reset initiation at exact system brown-out point |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA (typ.), 2.5µA (max.) - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries |
| Reset Timeout | 220ms (typ.), 143–297ms range - meets JEDEC JESD78 Class II reset duration requirements |
| Response Time | ≤20µs - guarantees immediate reset assertion during fast VCC transients |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - allows wired-OR reset bus sharing across multiple supervisors |
| Operating Voltage | 0.9V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V logic domains |
| Temp Range | –40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial-grade embedded control environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (SC-74A) 3-pin surface-mount package with gull-wing leads, 1.3mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, and 1.1mm height - optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Positive supply input - powers internal reference and comparator; must be decoupled with ≥100nF capacitor |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output - requires external pull-up; asserts when VCC < 2.0V |
| 3 | GND | Analog ground reference - must connect directly to low-impedance system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 2.0V threshold | Factory-trimmed bandgap reference eliminates need for external resistive divider or calibration |
| 220ms reset timeout | Internally generated delay ensures sufficient hold time for µP initialization and memory stabilization |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy | Guarantees deterministic reset behavior across voltage and temperature without margining overhead |
| 1µA supply current | Reduces standby power by >90% versus legacy supervisors, extending battery life in always-on sensors |
| No external components | Enables drop-in replacement in space-constrained designs without layout revision or BOM change |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G22DBVR | 2.2V threshold, 200ms timeout, 1.1µA ICC, same SOT23-6 package but different pinout | Requires PCB redesign due to non-matching pin mapping and higher threshold | Select only if 2.2V reset point aligns with system rail tolerance and board revision is feasible |
| MAX6326UR20+T | 2.0V threshold, 200ms timeout, 1.5µA ICC, SOT23-3 package with identical pinout | Same functional behavior but higher supply current increases battery load by 50% | Prefer for legacy designs already qualified with Maxim parts; verify thermal performance at 85°C ambient |
Compared with TPS3808G22DBVR and MAX6326UR20+T, the APX803L20-42W5-7 offers tighter threshold accuracy (±1.5% vs ±2.0%), lower ICC (1.0µA vs 1.1–1.5µA), and guaranteed 220ms timeout - making it optimal for ultra-low-power, precision-brownout applications where timing consistency and battery longevity are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and its tolerance for APX803L20-42W5-7?
The APX803L20-42W5-7 has a nominal reset threshold of 2.0V with a guaranteed accuracy of ±1.5% over temperature (–40°C to +85°C), meaning the actual trip point falls between 1.97V and 2.03V at +25°C and remains within ±1.5% across the full operating range.
Does APX803L20-42W5-7 require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes - the RESET pin is open-drain and active-low, so an external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ to the target logic rail) is mandatory to establish a defined high state when not asserted; no internal pull-up is provided.
Can APX803L20-42W5-7 operate from a 1.2V supply rail?
No - the minimum recommended operating supply voltage is 0.9V, but the device requires VCC ≥ 1.02×VTH (≥2.04V) to guarantee proper reset timeout functionality; operation below 2.0V may result in incomplete or undefined reset behavior.
Is the SOT25 package of APX803L20-42W5-7 compatible with standard SOT23 reflow profiles?
Yes - the SOT25 (SC-74A) package shares identical thermal mass and lead geometry with industry-standard SOT23-3, supporting IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles including peak temperatures up to 260°C and 60-second liquidus time.
