Product details
Overview
APX803L20-46W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, monitoring VCC in battery-powered and embedded digital systems. It features a fixed 4.6V detection threshold (±1.5% accuracy), 220ms reset timeout, open-drain active-low RESET output, and consumes only 1µA typical supply current. Used in portable instrumentation and low-power microcontroller power-up sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L20-46W5-7 datasheet, APX803L20-46W5-7 pinout, APX803L20-46W5-7 application, or APX803L20-46W5-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include threshold voltage tolerance, reset delay stability over temperature, open-drain sink capability (3.5mA @ 0.4V), and SOT25 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The APX803L20-46W5-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with internal hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during threshold crossing. Its reset logic asserts low on VCC drop below 4.6V and holds until VCC exceeds 4.6V + hysteresis, with guaranteed 20µs response time.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient, maintains ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature (50 ppm/°C drift), and delivers stable 220ms reset timeout (143–297ms range) independent of supply voltage between 0.9V and 5.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Threshold | 4.6V ±1.5% - precise brown-out detection for 5V-tolerant µP systems |
| Reset Timeout | 220ms (typ.) - ensures reliable processor initialization after power recovery |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA (typ.), 2.5µA (max.) - negligible load on coin-cell or energy-harvesting supplies |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - enables wired-OR reset bus and flexible pull-up voltage selection |
| Response Time | ≤20µs - fast assertion prevents µP corruption during rapid VCC collapse |
| Operating Voltage | 0.9V to 5.5V - supports operation down to near-threshold conditions for ultra-low-VCC monitoring |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |

| 4, 5 | NC | No connection - electrically isolated, no internal bonding or function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 4.6V threshold | Eliminates external resistor network; reduces BOM count and layout area |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| APX803L20-46SA-7 | SOT23-3 package (3-pin); identical electrical specs but smaller footprint and no NC pins | Better suited for space-constrained designs where 5-pin routing is impractical | Select when board real estate is critical and thermal dissipation < 200°C/W suffices |
| TLV803E46DBVR | Texas Instruments part; same 4.6V threshold, 200ms delay, but higher 2.5µA max ICC and ±2.5% accuracy | Limited to commercial temp range (–40°C to +125°C), no SOT25 option | Choose only if TI supply chain preference outweighs tighter accuracy and industrial temp compliance |
Compared with APX803L20-46SA-7, the W5 variant offers improved thermal performance (200°C/W vs. 275°C/W in SOT323) and mechanical robustness via two NC pins; versus TLV803E46DBVR, it delivers superior accuracy (±1.5% vs. ±2.5%) and guaranteed industrial temperature operation.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout value for APX803L20-46W5-7, and how does temperature affect it?
The APX803L20-46W5-7 has a nominal reset timeout of 220ms at +25°C, with a guaranteed range of 143ms to 297ms across –40°C to +125°C. The datasheet's timing graph shows monotonic increase from ~150ms at –40°C to ~240ms at +125°C, confirming stable behavior without discontinuities.
Can APX803L20-46W5-7 be used with a 2.8V supply rail?
No - the device requires VCC ≥ 0.9V to operate, but its 4.6V detection threshold means it must monitor a rail ≥ 4.6V. It cannot supervise 2.8V directly; use APX803L20-28W5-7 (2.8V threshold) instead for that voltage level.
Does the SOT25 package's NC pins require PCB routing or grounding?
No - pins 4 and 5 are unconnected internally and must remain floating on the PCB. Neither routing nor grounding is required or recommended; leaving them unconnected avoids unintended parasitic coupling or ESD paths.
How does the 1µA supply current impact battery life in a CR2032-powered device?
At 1µA typical current draw, APX803L20-46W5-7 consumes just 8.64mC/day. Over a typical CR2032 capacity of 220mAh (792C), this extends usable battery life by >25 years - effectively making quiescent current negligible in lifetime calculations.
