Product details
Overview
APX803L20-47SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, monitoring VCC supply integrity in battery-powered and embedded digital systems. It features a fixed 2.0V detection threshold (±1.5% accuracy), 1µA typical supply current, 220ms reset timeout, open-drain active-low RESET output, and operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient range - deployed in portable instrumentation and low-power microcontroller power-up sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L20-47SA-7 datasheet, APX803L20-47SA-7 pinout, APX803L20-47SA-7 application, or APX803L20-47SA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include threshold voltage tolerance, reset delay stability over temperature, quiescent current impact on battery life, and compatibility with 3-pin SOT23 footprint constraints in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The APX803L20-47SA-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference and comparator architecture to detect VCC drops below 2.0V with 1.5% initial accuracy and 50 ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Its internal hysteresis (0.01×VTH) prevents oscillation during slow-rising supply transitions.
It delivers a clean, fast-reset signal: propagation delay ≤20µs from VCC crossing threshold, with guaranteed 220ms (min 143ms, max 297ms) active-low RESET assertion time after undervoltage event - calibrated per device variant and stable across –40°C to +85°C operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.0V ±1.5% - precise brown-out detection point for 2.0V logic rails or core supplies |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA (typ.), 2.5µA (max) - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries |
| Reset Timeout | 220ms (143–297ms) - ensures reliable µP initialization before release |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - supports wired-OR reset buses and flexible pull-up voltage selection |
| Propagation Delay | ≤20µs - guarantees rapid response to supply collapse without missing critical events |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |
| Hysteresis | 0.01×VTH (20mV) - eliminates chatter during marginal supply recovery |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (JEDEC TO-236AB), 1.3mm × 2.9mm × 1.0mm body, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground Reference | Return path for internal circuitry and RESET sink current; must connect to system ground plane |
| 2 (RESET) | Open-Drain Output | Active-low reset signal; requires external pull-up to VCC or higher rail; sinks up to 20mA |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply Input | Monitored power rail input; operates from 0.9V to 5.5V; powers internal detector circuitry |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required | Integrated reference, comparator, and delay timer eliminate capacitors, resistors, or trimming |
| Low supply current | 1µA typical draw minimizes load on primary battery or energy-harvesting sources |
| Fixed 2.0V threshold | Factory-trimmed voltage eliminates design-in calibration effort and BOM variability |
| Stable 220ms reset timeout | Guaranteed delay window ensures µP reset meets ARM Cortex-M or RISC-V boot timing requirements |
| High accuracy over temperature | ±1.5% at 25°C and 50 ppm/°C drift maintains detection reliability across full operating range |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered glucose meters and pulse oximeters requiring >5-year shelf life and cold-start reliability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 2.0V LDO output powering MCU and analog front-end; asserts RESET until regulated rail stabilizes post-battery insertion. Use Value: Prevents firmware corruption during weak-battery power-up by enforcing minimum 220ms reset hold time before processor release. |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted programmable logic controllers with isolated 24V-to-2.0V DC-DC conversion for control logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 2.0V core supply of ARM-based controller; provides clean, glitch-free reset independent of upstream converter ripple. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete RC reset circuits while maintaining <±1.5% threshold accuracy across –40°C to +70°C industrial ambient. |
| Smart Meter Communication Units | Wireless Sensor Node MCUs |
Use Scenario: NB-IoT or LoRaWAN modules in electricity meters where supply may sag during RF transmission bursts. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects 2.0V rail droop during GSM/GPRS transmit peaks; holds RESET until post-transmit recovery completes. Use Value: Ensures deterministic restart after brown-out events caused by high-current RF switching, avoiding silent firmware lockup. |
Use Scenario: Sub-GHz sensor nodes powered by CR2032 cells, waking every 5 minutes for environmental sensing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides ultra-low-power (1µA) supervision of 2.0V buck converter output feeding an ESP32-WROOM-32. Use Value: Extends battery life by >18 months versus legacy 10µA supervisors, with no compromise in reset timing fidelity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803E20DBZR | 2.0V threshold, 350ms default delay, 0.5µA IQ, SOT23-3 | Longer reset timeout; tighter 0.5% threshold accuracy but no hysteresis spec | Prefer when longer reset hold time is needed and lower IQ is critical; verify hysteresis sufficiency for noisy rails |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 2.0V threshold, 140ms min delay, 10µA IQ, SOT23-3 | Higher quiescent current; same 2.0V threshold but looser ±2.5% accuracy | Acceptable for non-battery applications where cost is prioritized over power efficiency and accuracy |
Compared with TLV803E20DBZR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L20-47SA-7 delivers optimal balance of ultra-low IQ, production-grade threshold accuracy, and factory-calibrated 220ms delay - making it superior for long-life portable electronics where both power budget and timing predictability are constrained.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for APX803L20-47SA-7?
The APX803L20-47SA-7 has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.0V with ±1.5% initial accuracy at +25°C. This value remains stable across temperature with a maximum drift of 50 ppm/°C, yielding ±0.012V variation over –40°C to +85°C - confirmed in Electrical Characteristics Table on page 3 of DS38171 Rev. 3-2.
Does APX803L20-47SA-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 to a valid logic rail (e.g., 1.8V, 3.3V, or 5V) is mandatory. Typical values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ depending on bus capacitance and rise-time requirements; the device sinks up to 20mA, supporting robust wired-OR configurations.
Can APX803L20-47SA-7 monitor supply voltages below 2.0V?
No - the APX803L20-47SA-7 is a fixed-threshold device set exclusively to 2.0V. It cannot detect voltages below that level. For sub-2.0V monitoring (e.g., 1.2V or 1.8V rails), Diodes offers other variants like APX803L12-XXSA-7 or APX803L18-XXSA-7, each with factory-set thresholds in 0.1V increments from 1.2V to 5.0V.
Is APX803L20-47SA-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No - APX803L20-47SA-7 is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade alternatives such as the APX809 series (AEC-Q100 Grade 2, –40°C to +105°C) for under-hood or infotainment applications requiring PPAP and IATF 16949 compliance.
