Product details
Overview
APX803L20-48SA-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), 220ms reset timeout, open-drain active-low RESET output, and ultra-low 1µA typical supply current. It operates across –40°C to +85°C and is used in portable instrumentation and low-power microcontroller power-up sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L20-48SA-7 datasheet, APX803L20-48SA-7 pinout, APX803L20-48SA-7 application, or APX803L20-48SA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include threshold voltage tolerance, reset delay stability over temperature, open-drain sink capability (3.5mA @ 0.4V), and SOT23 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The APX803L20-48SA-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during supply ramp-up/down. Its internal comparator triggers an active-low open-drain RESET signal when VCC drops below 2.0V and holds it asserted until VCC exceeds the release threshold (2.0V + hysteresis).
It integrates a programmable reset timeout of 220ms (typ.) - fixed by internal design - and requires no external components. The device supports operation down to 0.9V supply and maintains ±1.5% threshold accuracy from –40°C to +85°C, with temperature coefficient of 50ppm/°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Threshold | 2.0V ±1.5% - ensures reliable µP reset initiation at precise supply level, minimizing false triggers. |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA (typ.), 2.5µA (max.) - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Reset Timeout | 220ms (typ.) - provides sufficient hold time for full system initialization before release. |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - allows wired-OR configuration and flexible pull-up voltage selection (up to 5.5V). |
| Response Time | 20µs - guarantees fast assertion of RESET upon undervoltage event, critical for data retention. |
| Operating Voltage | 0.9V to 5.5V - supports wide input range including single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) and 3.3V/5V logic rails. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial and portable equipment ambient conditions. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (JEDEC TO-236AB), 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint, 1.1mm height, lead-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground Reference | Return path for internal circuitry; must be connected to system ground plane for stable threshold reference. |
| 2 (VCC) | Supply Input | Power source for detector; also monitored rail; supports 0.9–5.5V operation with <2.5µA draw. |
| 3 (RESET) | Open-Drain Output | Active-low reset signal; requires external pull-up; sinks up to 3.5mA at 0.4V saturation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 2.0V threshold | Eliminates external resistor network; reduces BOM count and layout area in µP reset circuits. |
| 220ms factory-set delay | Guarantees consistent reset hold time without timing capacitor drift or temperature sensitivity. |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy | Enables tight margining in low-voltage systems (e.g., 2.0V ±30mV), improving system reliability. |
| 1µA typical supply current | Minimizes loading on weak supplies (e.g., coin-cell backup rails), preserving runtime in sleep modes. |
| No external components | Reduces design validation effort and eliminates capacitor aging/tolerance risks in reset timing. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered glucose meters and pulse oximeters requiring guaranteed power-on reset before sensor calibration. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 3.0V lithium coin-cell supply and asserts RESET until voltage stabilizes above 2.0V post-switch-on. Use Value: Prevents firmware execution under brownout, avoiding corrupted EEPROM writes during critical boot sequence. |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted I/O modules operating in variable-temperature factory environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 5V system rail; holds µC in reset during AC line transients or cold-start voltage sag. Use Value: Ensures deterministic boot state after power recovery, eliminating watchdog timeouts caused by marginal VCC. |
| Smart Home Hub Controllers | Wearable Fitness Trackers |
|
Use Scenario: Multi-rail hubs integrating Wi-Fi SoC, BLE radio, and USB-C PD negotiation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides synchronized reset to all subsystems using shared 3.3V domain, triggered only when rail exceeds 2.0V with 220ms hold. Use Value: Eliminates race conditions between power domains during cold start, ensuring proper PHY initialization order. |
Use Scenario: Ultra-thin wrist-worn devices powered by 3.7V Li-po with aggressive power gating. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects voltage collapse during deep-sleep wake-up surge; asserts RESET until LDO output recovers fully. Use Value: Blocks sensor ADC sampling until supply settles, preventing erroneous biometric readings from noisy rails. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| APX803L20-29SA-7 | Same 2.0V threshold and SOT23 package, but 220ms delay implemented with different internal RC timing (A429 marking code vs A448); identical electrical specs. | Identical functional behavior; both qualified for industrial temperature range and RoHS compliance. | Select based on real-time availability and traceability requirements - A429-marked units show active status per Diodes' latest marking table. |
| TLV803EA20DBZR | Texas Instruments part with same 2.0V threshold and 200ms delay (vs 220ms); 0.9µA supply current; ±1.0% accuracy (tighter than APX803L's ±1.5%). | Higher accuracy suits tighter-margin 2.0V systems; 200ms delay may require firmware adjustment if exact 220ms hold is required. | Prefer TLV803EA20DBZR where threshold precision is critical; retain APX803L20-48SA-7 for cost-sensitive designs with established 220ms timing validation. |
Compared with APX803L20-29SA-7, the -48SA-7 offers identical functionality but reflects a later production batch (A448 marking); versus TLV803EA20DBZR, it trades 0.5% accuracy for lower unit cost and broader distributor stock depth in SOT23 format.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and its tolerance for APX803L20-48SA-7?
The APX803L20-48SA-7 has a nominal reset threshold of 2.0V with ±1.5% accuracy over –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 temperature range.
Does APX803L20-48SA-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., 3.3V or 5V) is mandatory. Typical values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ depending on bus capacitance and rise-time requirements.
Can APX803L20-48SA-7 operate with supply voltages below 2.0V?
Yes - it functions down to 0.9V supply (VCC), though reset assertion only occurs when VCC drops below the 2.0V threshold. Below 0.9V, the device ceases operation and RESET enters high-impedance state.
Is APX803L20-48SA-7 pin-compatible with other APX803L variants in SOT23 package?
Yes - all APX803L SOT23 variants (SA suffix) share identical 3-pin pinout: Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = VCC, Pin 3 = RESET. Threshold voltage and delay time are factory-set and not user-configurable, but mechanical and electrical interface remains consistent.
