Product details
Overview
APX803L20-50SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, monitoring VCC supply levels in embedded digital systems. It features a fixed 5.0V detection threshold with ±1.5% accuracy, 1µA typical supply current, 220ms reset timeout, and open-drain active-low RESET output in SOT23-3 package - deployed in battery-powered instrumentation and portable microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L20-50SA-7 datasheet, APX803L20-50SA-7 pinout, APX803L20-50SA-7 application, or APX803L20-50SA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include threshold voltage tolerance, reset delay stability over temperature, low-quiescent-current operation in sleep-mode systems, and compatibility with 3.3V/5V logic-level microprocessor reset inputs.
Technical Context
The APX803L20-50SA-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 open-drain RESET signal when VCC falls below 5.0V and holds it active for 220ms after recovery above threshold.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient, supports 0.9V–5.5V supply range, and delivers 20μs response time from VCC drop to RESET assertion. The device requires no external components and integrates thermal shutdown protection per absolute maximum ratings.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Threshold | 5.0V ±1.5% - ensures reliable reset initiation at nominal 5V rail without false triggering near regulation limits |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications like IoT sensors |
| Reset Timeout | 220ms (typ.) - provides sufficient hold time for full µP initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Response Time | 20µs - guarantees rapid fault detection before system state corruption occurs |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - allows wired-OR reset bus configuration and compatibility with 1.8V–5.5V logic families |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial-grade embedded control and portable equipment environments |
| Hysteresis | 0.01×VTH (50mV) - prevents chatter during slow VCC recovery by enforcing 5.05V release threshold |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 surface-mount package (2.9mm × 1.3mm × 1.0mm), RoHS-compliant, lead-free, halogen-free "Green" construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground Reference | Return path for internal reference and comparator; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 (RESET) | Open-Drain Reset Output | Active-low signal asserted when VCC < 5.0V; requires external pull-up resistor to host logic rail (e.g., 10kΩ to 3.3V) |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply Input | Monitored power rail input; supports 0.9V–5.5V operation; decoupling capacitor (100nF) recommended at pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.0µA typ. - eliminates measurable impact on standby power budget in energy-harvesting or coin-cell systems |
| Precision threshold accuracy | ±1.5% over temperature - reduces need for margin-based design derating in 5V supply monitoring |
| Factory-set delay option | 220ms fixed timeout - eliminates external RC timing network and associated component tolerance drift |
| No external components required | Self-contained detection circuit - simplifies BOM, PCB layout, and qualification testing for high-reliability designs |
| Wide supply voltage range | 0.9V to 5.5V - supports direct monitoring of Li-ion battery rails (2.7–4.2V) and regulated 3.3V/5V domains |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G18DBVR | 1.8V fixed threshold, 200ms delay, 1.1µA IQ, same SOT23-6 package but different pinout | Not suitable for 5V rail monitoring; requires redesign of reset net and PCB layout | Select only if migrating to lower-voltage system architecture |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 5.0V threshold, 140ms delay, 10µA IQ, SOT23-3 pin-compatible but higher supply current | Higher quiescent draw reduces battery life in ultra-low-power designs; same footprint enables drop-in replacement | Prefer when legacy MAX809 qualification is mandated and 10µA IQ is acceptable |
Compared with TPS3808G18DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L20-50SA-7 uniquely balances 5.0V precision supervision, 220ms timing, and sub-µA power - making it optimal for space-constrained, long-life 5V microcontroller systems where both accuracy and efficiency are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and its tolerance for APX803L20-50SA-7?
The APX803L20-50SA-7 has a factory-trimmed detection threshold of 5.0V with guaranteed accuracy of ±1.5% over –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This corresponds to a minimum threshold of 4.925V and maximum of 5.075V at +25°C, and includes 50mV hysteresis to ensure clean release at 5.05V.
Can APX803L20-50SA-7 operate with a 3.3V supply rail?
No - the APX803L20-50SA-7 is configured for 5.0V threshold detection and requires VCC ≥ 0.9V to function, but its specified operating range is 0.9V to 5.5V. While it will power up at 3.3V, it will assert RESET continuously because VCC (3.3V) remains below the 5.0V threshold; it is intended only for monitoring 5V rails.
Is an external pull-up resistor required on the RESET pin?
Yes - the RESET pin is open-drain and active-low, so an external pull-up resistor to the host logic supply (e.g., 3.3V or 5V) is mandatory. Typical values range from 4.7kΩ to 10kΩ; lower values improve noise immunity but increase static current draw during RESET assertion.
Does APX803L20-50SA-7 support AEC-Q200 qualification for automotive use?
No - the APX803L20-50SA-7 is not AEC-Q200 qualified. Diodes Incorporated offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., APX803L20-50SA-7Q) with PPAP capability, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and AEC-Q100 stress testing; this standard part is rated for industrial temperature range only.
