Product details
Overview
APX803L-23SA-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 2.3V detection threshold (±1.5% accuracy), 1µA typical supply current, open-drain active-low RESET output, and 220ms reset timeout delay. Used in battery-powered instrumentation and portable microcontroller systems where low quiescent power and precise brownout detection are critical.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L-23SA-7 datasheet, APX803L-23SA-7 pinout, APX803L-23SA-7 application, or APX803L-23SA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include threshold voltage tolerance, reset delay timing stability over temperature, open-drain sink capability (3.5mA @ 0.4V), and SOT23 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The APX803L-23SA-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference comparator with built-in hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during threshold crossing. Its internal architecture delivers fast 20µs reset assertion upon VCC drop below 2.3V and holds RESET low until VCC rises above 2.316V (typical release voltage).
It operates across -40°C to +85°C ambient, maintains ±50 ppm/°C threshold temperature coefficient, and supports system-level power sequencing via configurable 220ms recovery delay-enabling reliable initialization of microcontrollers after power-up or brownout events.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB23DBVR | 2.3V threshold, 350ms delay, 0.5µA supply current, SOT23-3 | Longer delay unsuitable for fast-boot µPs; lower current benefits ultra-low-power sleep modes | Select when extended reset hold time is required and supply current is primary constraint |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 2.3V threshold, 240ms delay, 12µA supply current, SOT23-3 | Higher ICC limits use in multi-year battery applications; wider temp range (-40°C to +125°C) | Select for automotive-adjacent industrial designs requiring extended temperature qualification |
Compared with TLV803EB23DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L-23SA-7 offers optimal balance of low ICC (1µA), precise 220ms timing, and industrial-grade temperature performance-making it ideal for portable electronics where battery longevity and deterministic reset behavior are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and tolerance for APX803L-23SA-7?
The APX803L-23SA-7 has a nominal reset threshold of 2.3V with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature (–40°C to +85°C). At +25°C, the actual threshold falls between 2.2655V and 2.3345V. This tight tolerance eliminates need for external trimming and ensures consistent brownout detection across production units.
Does APX803L-23SA-7 require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes - the RESET pin is open-drain and active-low, requiring an external pull-up resistor to a valid logic-high voltage (e.g., 1.8V, 3.3V, or 5V). Typical values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ depending on bus capacitance and rise-time requirements. No internal pull-up is present.
Can APX803L-23SA-7 operate from a 1.2V supply?
No - the minimum operating supply voltage is 0.9V, but the device monitors its own VCC pin and requires VCC ≥ 1.02×VTH (≥2.346V) to release RESET. Since VTH = 2.3V, the part cannot function reliably below ~2.35V; it is not intended for sub-2V system rails.
Is APX803L-23SA-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No - APX803L-23SA-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes Incorporated offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., APX803L-23SA-7Q) with PPAP support and IATF 16949 manufacturing, but this specific part number is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) only.
