Product details
Overview
APX803L20-48W5-7 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, open-drain active-low RESET output, and 1µA typical supply current. It monitors VCC in battery-powered IoT sensors, portable medical devices, and low-power microcontroller systems to ensure reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L20-48W5-7 datasheet, APX803L20-48W5-7 pinout, APX803L20-48W5-7 application, or APX803L20-48W5-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all grounded in Diodes' DS38171 Rev. 3–2 specification.
Technical Context
The APX803L20-48W5-7 implements a fixed-threshold voltage detector with internal 2.0V reference (±1.5% over temperature), hysteresis of 0.01×VTH, and temperature coefficient of 50 ppm/°C. Its reset assertion occurs within 20µs when VCC drops below 2.0V, and release requires VCC to exceed 2.01V (VTH_H = VTH_L + VHYS).
It features factory-programmed 220ms reset timeout (typ. 220ms, min 143ms, max 297ms across –40°C to +85°C), operates from 0.9V to 5.5V supply, and delivers 3.5mA sink capability at VOL ≤ 0.4V - enabling direct interface with µP reset inputs without external pull-ups.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | 2.0V ±1.5% - ensures accurate brownout detection for 2.0V logic rails and low-voltage microcontrollers. |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA (typ.), 2.5µA (max.) - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell-powered devices without measurable battery drain. |
| Reset Timeout | 220ms (typ.), 143–297ms range - provides sufficient hold time for slow-ramping power supplies and stable µP initialization. |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - supports wired-OR reset bus architectures and flexible pull-up voltage selection (up to 5.5V). |
| Response Time | ≤20µs VCC drop-to-reset assertion - guarantees timely intervention before µP state corruption during fast transients. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications. |
| Hysteresis | 0.01×VTH (20mV) - prevents chatter during noisy or slowly recovering supply conditions. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin) package with NC pins; pin 1 = VCC, pin 2 = RESET (open-drain), pin 3 = GND, pins 4–5 = NC. Designed for compact PCB layouts while maintaining isolation between power and reset signal paths.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input; powers internal reference and comparator; must be decoupled with ≥100nF capacitor per datasheet. |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low output; requires external pull-up to host logic rail (e.g., 3.3V); sinks up to 3.5mA. |
| 3 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference; must connect to low-impedance system ground plane for noise immunity. |
| 4, 5 | NC | No connection; left floating per design; no internal bonding or circuitry attached. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 2.0V Threshold | Factory-trimmed internal reference eliminates need for external resistive divider, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| 220ms Reset Timeout | Internally generated delay avoids external RC timing components and associated tolerance drift over temperature/lifetime. |
| 1µA Supply Current | Enables integration into always-on wake-up monitoring circuits without compromising system standby efficiency. |
| ±1.5% Threshold Accuracy | Meets tight reset window requirements for 2.0V-core SoCs and low-voltage FPGAs where margin is constrained. |
| Open-Drain Output | Allows shared reset bus across multiple ICs and compatibility with mixed-voltage domains (e.g., 1.8V µP with 3.3V pull-up). |
Applications
| Smart Wearable Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous heart-rate monitoring using ultra-low-power MCU and analog front-end powered by CR2032 battery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage detector asserts RESET until VCC stabilizes post-battery insertion or cold start, preventing firmware crash. Use Value: 1µA quiescent current extends battery life beyond 3 years; 220ms timeout accommodates slow LDO ramp-up. |
Use Scenario: Remote digital input module operating in harsh factory environments with fluctuating 24V DC supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors local 3.3V regulator output; triggers controlled µC reboot on undervoltage events caused by line sag or EMI. Use Value: ±1.5% threshold accuracy ensures consistent trip point across temperature; open-drain output interfaces directly with optocoupler-isolated reset chain. |
| Medical Infusion Pumps | Asset Tracking Beacons |
Use Scenario: Battery-backed safety-critical controller verifying main and backup supply integrity before motor activation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-supply monitoring via separate APX803L20-48W5-7 instances; generates independent RESET signals for redundancy. Use Value: 20µs response time meets IEC 62304 Class C timing constraints; SOT25 package supports automated optical inspection (AOI) and high-reliability reflow. |
Use Scenario: GPS-enabled BLE beacon deployed in logistics containers with intermittent solar charging and Li-SOCl₂ primary cell. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects 2.0V brownout during deep discharge; holds µP in reset until charge cycle restores safe operating voltage. Use Value: Hysteresis prevents oscillation during partial recharge; RoHS/Green compliance satisfies EU medical device directives. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| APX803L20-29SR | SOT23-3 package (3-pin), same 2.0V threshold and 220ms timeout, but lacks NC pins and has different thermal resistance (θJA = 200°C/W vs. SOT25's 200°C/W). | Preferred for space-constrained designs where 5-pin footprint is prohibitive; lower assembly cost but reduced thermal margin under sustained load. | Select when board area is critical and thermal dissipation <10mW; verify RESET rise time with higher pull-up values due to smaller bond wire. |
| TLV803S20DBZR | Texas Instruments part; 2.0V threshold, 200ms timeout (±20%), 0.5µA supply current, SOT23-3 package, push-pull output (not open-drain). | Requires redesign of reset bus topology due to push-pull output; better for single-load applications but incompatible with wired-OR configurations. | Choose only if open-drain functionality is unnecessary and lowest possible IQ is mandatory; validate µP reset pin compatibility with active-high assertion. |
Compared with APX803L20-48W5-7, the APX803L20-29SR offers identical electrical behavior in a smaller footprint but less routing flexibility, while the TLV803S20DBZR trades open-drain versatility for lower IQ and tighter timeout tolerance - making the SOT25 variant optimal for multi-drop reset buses in industrial modules.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout value for APX803L20-48W5-7 across temperature?
The APX803L20-48W5-7 guarantees a reset timeout of 143ms (min) to 297ms (max) over –40°C to +85°C ambient, with 220ms typical at +25°C. This is factory-programmed and tested per DS38171 Rev. 3–2, Figure 5, and does not require external components to set.
Can APX803L20-48W5-7 drive a 10kΩ pull-up to 5V?
Yes - its open-drain RESET output sinks up to 3.5mA at VOL ≤ 0.4V (per Electrical Characteristics table), supporting 10kΩ pull-up to 5V (0.5mA load) with margin. The datasheet confirms VOL remains ≤ 0.4V even at ISINK = 3.5mA and VCC = VTH – 0.2V.
Is the 2.0V threshold calibrated at wafer level or final test?
The 2.0V threshold is trimmed during final test at Diodes' production facility, achieving ±1.5% accuracy over temperature. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (VTH parameter) and supported by the "High Threshold Voltage Accuracy" feature bullet in the datasheet.
Does APX803L20-48W5-7 require an input capacitor on VCC?
Yes - the datasheet specifies a 100nF ceramic capacitor between VCC and GND (see Typical Applications Circuit, page 3). This stabilizes the internal reference and prevents false resets during transient supply noise or rapid load switching.
