Product details
Overview
APX803L20-44SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, providing precise 4.4V threshold detection with ±1.5% accuracy, 1µA typical supply current, and 220ms reset timeout. It delivers active-low open-drain reset signaling in battery-powered IoT sensors and portable medical devices requiring ultra-low power monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L20-44SA-7 datasheet, APX803L20-44SA-7 pinout, APX803L20-44SA-7 application, or APX803L20-44SA-7 equivalent, this page details its fixed-threshold supervision function, SOT23-3 package compatibility, reset timing behavior across temperature, and design integration requirements for reliable power-up sequencing.
Technical Context
The APX803L20-44SA-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during VCC recovery. Its internal comparator continuously monitors VCC against a factory-trimmed 4.4V threshold and asserts RESET when VCC drops below that level.
Reset assertion remains active until VCC exceeds the release threshold (VTH + hysteresis), followed by a guaranteed 220ms timeout before deassertion - a fixed delay option selected via part number suffix '20'. No external components are required for basic operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Threshold | 4.4V ±1.5% at +25°C; ensures reliable µP reset initiation within specified supply tolerance |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA typical; enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered devices without compromising battery life |
| Reset Timeout | 220ms (min–max: 143–297ms); provides sufficient hold time for slow-ramping power rails and system stabilization |
| Response Time | ≤20µs VCC drop-to-reset; guarantees fast fault capture before digital logic corruption occurs |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low; supports wired-OR reset bus configurations and flexible pull-up voltage selection |
| Operating Voltage | 0.9V to 5.5V; allows use with 1.2V–3.3V logic domains and brown-out detection down to sub-1V supplies |
| Temperature Range | −40°C to +85°C ambient; validated for industrial-grade embedded control and automotive cabin electronics |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (3-pin, 1.3mm × 2.9mm × 1.1mm body, 0.95mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, lead-free, halogen-free "Green" construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and output stage; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ) to host VCC or dedicated reset rail |
| 3 | VCC | Power input pin; supplies internal reference and comparator; decoupling capacitor (100nF) recommended adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 4.4V threshold | Factory-trimmed, no external resistors needed - reduces BOM count and layout area in space-constrained designs |
| 220ms reset timeout | Guaranteed minimum delay ensures full power rail stabilization before processor release, eliminating boot failures |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy | Minimizes false resets across voltage and temperature; supports tighter supply margining in low-voltage systems |
| 1µA supply current | Enables always-on supervision in energy-harvesting nodes and wearables where quiescent power dominates lifetime budget |
| Open-drain output | Allows shared reset bus with multiple supervisors or processors; compatible with 1.8V/3.3V/5V logic families via pull-up selection |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EA44DBZR | 4.4V threshold, 200ms timeout, 0.5µA supply current; same SOT23-3 footprint but TI's nano-power architecture | Lower ICC enables longer battery life in ultra-low-duty-cycle sensors; slightly reduced temp range (−40°C to +125°C) | Select when <0.7µA quiescent current is mandatory and higher max junction temperature is acceptable |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 4.4V threshold, 240ms timeout, 12µA supply current; same pinout but higher ICC and older process node | Higher supply current limits use in multi-year battery applications; wider production availability for legacy designs | Select only for cost-sensitive industrial controls where 12µA ICC is acceptable and long-term obsolescence risk is mitigated |
Compared with TLV803EA44DBZR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L20-44SA-7 delivers optimal balance of ultra-low ICC (1µA), tight threshold accuracy (±1.5%), and industrial temperature support - making it preferred for next-generation portable and automotive-adjacent electronics where power and precision are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and tolerance for APX803L20-44SA-7?
The APX803L20-44SA-7 has a nominal reset threshold of 4.4V with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature (−40°C to +85°C). This is factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of DS38171 Rev. 3–2, ensuring consistent detection without external calibration.
Can APX803L20-44SA-7 drive a 10kΩ pull-up resistor to 3.3V?
Yes - the open-drain RESET output can sink ≥3.5mA at VOL ≤0.4V (per datasheet test condition), supporting standard 10kΩ pull-ups to 3.3V (I = 330µA) with ample margin. Output voltage remains below 0.4V under full load, ensuring clean logic-low assertion.
Does APX803L20-44SA-7 require an external capacitor for stability?
No external capacitor is required for basic supervision. A 100nF ceramic decoupling capacitor on VCC is recommended per the Typical Applications Circuit, but no timing or filtering capacitor is needed - the 220ms delay is fully internal and factory-set.
Is APX803L20-44SA-7 qualified for automotive applications?
The APX803L20-44SA-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., APX803L20-44SA-7Q) with PPAP capability and IATF 16949 manufacturing; standard SA-7 parts are rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and intended for non-safety-critical automotive-adjacent systems.
