Product details
Overview
APX803L-29C3-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, monitoring VCC supply rails in battery-powered and embedded digital systems. It features a fixed 2.9V detection threshold (±1.5% accuracy), 1µA typical supply current, open-drain active-low RESET output, and 220ms reset timeout - enabling reliable power-up sequencing in portable instrumentation and IoT edge nodes.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L-29C3-7 datasheet, APX803L-29C3-7 pinout, APX803L-29C3-7 application, or APX803L-29C3-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include threshold voltage tolerance, reset delay stability over temperature, open-drain sink capability (3.5mA @ 0.4V), and SOT323 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The APX803L-29C3-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with internal hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during slow VCC ramps. Its comparator continuously monitors VCC against the factory-trimmed 2.9V threshold and asserts RESET low within 20µs when VCC drops below VTH–100mV.
Reset release occurs only after VCC exceeds VTH + hysteresis, and the device maintains RESET assertion for a guaranteed 220ms (typ.) after recovery - a fixed internal delay independent of external components or supply voltage variation between 0.9V and 5.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Threshold | 2.9V ±1.5% - ensures accurate brown-out detection at nominal 3.3V or 3.0V logic rails |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA (typ.), 2.5µA (max.) - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries |
| Reset Timeout | 220ms (typ.) - provides sufficient hold time for µP initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Response Time | 20µs max. - guarantees fast fault capture before system state corruption |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - supports wired-OR reset buses and flexible pull-up voltage selection |
| Operating Voltage | 0.9V to 5.5V - compatible with 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V domains without level-shifting |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial ambient conditions |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) 3-pin surface-mount package with 1.3mm × 2.1mm footprint and 0.65mm lead pitch - optimized for high-density portable PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and output stage; must be connected to system ground plane |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; requires external pull-up to host VCC or supervisor rail |
| 3 | VCC | Power input; supplies internal reference and comparator; decoupling capacitor (100nF) recommended |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over –40°C to +85°C - eliminates need for external calibration in cost-sensitive designs |
| No External Components | Self-contained detection circuit - reduces BOM count and layout area vs. discrete resistor-divider solutions |
| Low-Temp Drift | 50ppm/°C threshold coefficient - maintains stable trip point across automotive and industrial thermal profiles |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803E29DBVR | 2.9V threshold, 350ms reset timeout, 0.5µA supply current, SOT23-3 package | Longer timeout may delay system recovery in fast-cycle sensor nodes | Select when extended reset hold time is required for complex firmware initialization |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 2.93V threshold, 140ms timeout, 10µA supply current, SOT23-3 package | Higher ICC reduces battery lifetime; tighter 2.93V threshold less tolerant of 3.0V rail tolerance | Prefer for legacy designs where MAX809 footprint compatibility is mandatory |
Compared with TLV803E29DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L-29C3-7 delivers optimal balance of ultra-low ICC (1µA), precise 2.9V trip point, and industry-standard 220ms timeout - making it ideal for new energy-harvesting and long-life battery applications where both accuracy and efficiency are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout duration for APX803L-29C3-7?
The APX803L-29C3-7 has a fixed 220ms (typical) reset active timeout period, confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (tDELAY = 143ms min / 220ms typ / 297ms max for "20" suffix). This delay begins after VCC recovers above the threshold and is internally generated without external timing components.
Does APX803L-29C3-7 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 (typically 10kΩ to host VCC) is mandatory to establish a valid high-level logic state when not asserted. The datasheet specifies a maximum sink current of 20mA and VOL ≤ 0.4V at 3.5mA.
Can APX803L-29C3-7 operate reliably at 1.2V supply voltage?
No - the minimum operating VCC is 0.9V, but the 2.9V detection threshold requires VCC ≥ 2.9V to function as intended. At 1.2V, the internal reference cannot stabilize, and RESET behavior is undefined per Recommended Operating Conditions (VCC min = 0.9V applies only to device biasing, not threshold validity).
Is the SOT323 package of APX803L-29C3-7 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - the APX803L-29C3-7 is fully RoHS 3 compliant (2015/863/EU) and halogen-free per Diodes Incorporated's Green definition: <900ppm Br, <900ppm Cl (<1500ppm total Br+Cl), and <1000ppm Sb compounds, with no purposely added lead.
