Product details
Overview
APX803L-26SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, monitoring VCC supply levels in embedded and battery-powered systems. It features a fixed 2.6V detection threshold (±1.5% accuracy), 1µA typical supply current, open-drain active-low RESET output, and 220ms built-in recovery delay - enabling reliable power-up sequencing in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L-26SA-7 datasheet, APX803L-26SA-7 pinout, APX803L-26SA-7 application, or APX803L-26SA-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for system-level power monitoring design.
Technical Context
The APX803L-26SA-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during threshold crossing. Its internal comparator triggers an open-drain RESET signal when VCC drops below 2.6V and holds it low until VCC exceeds 2.6V + hysteresis, with guaranteed 20µs response time from undervoltage event to RESET assertion.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient, supports 0.9V to 5.5V supply range, and requires no external components - delivering deterministic reset timing without RC network calibration or layout sensitivity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Threshold | 2.6V ±1.5% - ensures precise brown-out detection for 2.8V–3.3V logic rails |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA (typ.), 2.5µA (max.) - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors |
| Reset Delay | 220ms (typ.) - provides sufficient hold-off for slow-ramping power supplies and flash memory initialization |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - allows wired-OR reset bus sharing and flexible pull-up voltage selection (up to 5.5V) |
| Response Time | ≤20µs - guarantees sub-cycle detection of fast transients on VCC |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature consumer applications |
| Hysteresis | 0.01×VTH (26mV) - prevents chatter during noisy or slowly recovering supply conditions |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (JEDEC TO-236AB), 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint, 1.45mm height, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal circuitry and reset comparator; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ to VCC or higher rail) |
| 3 | VCC | Power supply input; monitors this node directly; valid from 0.9V to 5.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed threshold selection | 2.6V factory-trimmed - eliminates external resistor network and associated tolerance stack-up |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1µA typical - reduces standby power by >95% vs. legacy reset ICs, critical for energy harvesting designs |
| Built-in delay options | 220ms timeout - avoids false resets during brief dips; no capacitor required for timing stability |
| High accuracy over temperature | ±1.5% threshold tolerance at +25°C, 50ppm/°C tempco - maintains specification across full operating range |
| Robust ESD protection | ±4000V HBM - withstands handling and board assembly without additional protection circuitry |
Applications
| Smartphone Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC I/O Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors main PMIC output during cold start and battery-swapping events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor asserting active-low RESET to baseband processor until 2.6V rail stabilizes for ≥220ms.

Use Scenario: Validates regulated 2.8V supply to analog front-end ADC prior to ECG sampling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides accurate, hysteresis-stabilized reset to microcontroller upon power-on or low-battery condition.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G26DBVR | 2.6V threshold, 350ms default delay, 1.6µA supply current, SOT23-6 package | Requires external capacitor for delay adjustment; larger footprint and higher quiescent current | Choose if programmable delay or tighter tempco (±0.5%) is required despite higher cost and size |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 2.63V threshold, 140ms delay, 10µA supply current, SOT23-3 package | Higher supply current limits battery life; lower accuracy (±2.5%) and no hysteresis spec | Accept only if legacy compatibility or second-source validation is mandatory and 10µA standby is acceptable |
Compared with TPS3808G26DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L-26SA-7 delivers superior energy efficiency (1µA vs. ≥10µA), tighter threshold accuracy (±1.5% vs. ±2.5%), and integrated 220ms delay - making it optimal for space-constrained, long-life battery applications where minimal BOM and predictable timing are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact detection threshold voltage for APX803L-26SA-7?
The APX803L-26SA-7 has a factory-trimmed detection threshold of 2.6V with ±1.5% accuracy at +25°C, and a temperature coefficient of 50ppm/°C. This means the actual trip point remains within 2.561V to 2.639V across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range under specified conditions.
Can APX803L-26SA-7 drive a microcontroller reset pin directly?
Yes - its open-drain RESET output can interface directly with standard CMOS reset inputs. A pull-up resistor (e.g., 10kΩ to VCC or another logic rail up to 5.5V) is required. The output sinks up to 20mA and maintains <0.4V low-level voltage at 3.5mA sink current, ensuring robust logic-level compatibility.
Is there a version with adjustable delay or threshold?
No - the APX803L-26SA-7 has fixed 2.6V threshold and fixed 220ms delay. Diodes does not offer user-adjustable variants in this family. For programmable delay, consider the APX803L05-26SA-7 (55ms) or APX803L40-26SA-7 (450ms); all thresholds are factory-set and non-adjustable.
Does APX803L-26SA-7 require external capacitors or resistors?
No - it operates with zero external components. The internal voltage reference, comparator, and delay timer are fully integrated. Only a 100nF bypass capacitor on VCC (as shown in the Typical Applications Circuit) is recommended for noise immunity, but not strictly required for basic functionality.
