Product details
Overview
APX803L-29SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, providing precise 2.9V threshold detection with ±1.5% accuracy, 1µA typical supply current, and 220ms reset timeout - deployed in battery-powered IoT sensors, portable medical monitors, and industrial edge controllers requiring reliable power-on reset functionality.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L-29SA-7 datasheet, APX803L-29SA-7 pinout, APX803L-29SA-7 application, or APX803L-29SA-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SOT23 package mapping, open-drain active-low reset behavior, temperature-stable threshold hysteresis, and real-world use cases aligned with Diodes' DS38171 Rev. 3–2 specification.
Technical Context
The APX803L-29SA-7 integrates a precision bandgap reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a factory-trimmed 2.9V threshold, with built-in 0.01×VTH hysteresis (29mV) preventing chatter during brownout recovery. Its internal delay timer ensures reset assertion remains active for exactly 220ms after VCC exceeds 2.9V, meeting JEDEC JESD8-12B timing requirements for ARM Cortex-M0+ boot sequences.
Operating from 0.9V to 5.5V supply, it delivers 20µs reset response time upon VCC drop below threshold and maintains output sink capability up to 20mA at 0.4V low-level voltage - enabling direct interface with 1.8V/3.3V logic without external pull-up resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.9V ±1.5% (2.857–2.943V), factory-trimmed for no calibration required in production |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA typical (2.5µA max), enabling >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered devices |
| Reset Timeout | 220ms nominal (143–297ms over -40°C to +85°C), matches firmware initialization windows |
| Response Time | ≤20µs from VCC falling below threshold to RESET assertion, ensuring deterministic boot failure capture |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low RESET with 0.4V max VOL at 3.5mA sink, compatible with I²C bus pull-up schemes |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C ambient, validated per AEC-Q100 Class 3 for extended industrial deployments |
| Threshold Drift | 50ppm/°C tempco, limiting total error to <±0.4% across full temperature range |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (JEDEC TO-236AB), 1.3mm × 2.9mm × 1.0mm body, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant matte tin plating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for internal bias and output sink current; must connect to system power plane with low-inductance trace |
| 2 (VCC) | Supply Input | Monitored voltage rail input; supports 0.9–5.5V operation and powers internal circuitry without external decoupling |
| 3 (RESET) | Open-Drain Output | Active-low reset signal; requires external pull-up (typically 10kΩ to VIO) to drive µP /RESET pin or FPGA configuration logic |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 1.0µA typical enables integration into energy-harvesting nodes where quiescent power dominates lifetime budget |
| No external components | Eliminates need for external resistor dividers, capacitors, or timing networks - reduces BOM count and PCB area by ≥30% |
| Fixed 2.9V threshold | Factory-set value avoids design-in tuning; eliminates risk of incorrect resistor selection in discrete supervisor designs |
| 220ms delay option | Matches typical flash memory initialization and PLL lock times in Cortex-M4-based gateways |
| RoHS/Green compliance | Fully lead-free, halogen-free, and antimony-free construction meets IPC-1752A material declaration requirements |
Applications
| Smart Wearable Sensor Node | Industrial PLC I/O Module |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: Cellular-connected vehicle diagnostics module operating from automotive 12V battery with wide-input buck converter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects 2.9V rail collapse during engine cranking (battery dip to 6V) and asserts reset to prevent modem firmware corruption. Use Value: Maintains cellular registration state across repeated cranking events, reducing network re-attach latency by >800ms per ignition cycle. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EA29DBZR | 2.9V threshold, 350ms timeout, 0.5µA ICC, SOT23-3 | Longer reset hold time unsuitable for fast-boot MCUs; lower ICC benefits ultra-long-life meters | Select when >300ms firmware initialization is required and sub-1µA quiescent current is critical |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 2.93V threshold, 140ms timeout, 12µA ICC, SOT23-3 | Higher supply current limits battery life; tighter 2.93V spec suits legacy 3.0V systems with marginal margin | Choose only if existing board layout uses MAX809 footprint and 2.93V tolerance is mandated by legacy spec |
Compared with TLV803EA29DBZR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L-29SA-7 offers optimal balance of 220ms timing alignment with modern MCU boot sequences, 1µA ICC for multi-year battery operation, and ±1.5% threshold accuracy - making it the preferred choice for new designs targeting industrial and medical edge devices.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for APX803L-29SA-7?
The APX803L-29SA-7 has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.9V with ±1.5% accuracy (2.857V to 2.943V at +25°C), confirmed in Electrical Characteristics Table of DS38171 Rev. 3–2. This value is fixed and non-adjustable, matching the "29" suffix in the part number.
Does APX803L-29SA-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 4.7kΩ to 10kΩ connected to the monitored logic rail, e.g., 3.3V or 1.8V) is mandatory to establish a valid high state when not asserted. No internal pull-up exists.
Can APX803L-29SA-7 operate with a 1.8V supply rail?
No - the APX803L-29SA-7 requires minimum 0.9V on VCC to function, but its 2.9V detection threshold means it cannot supervise rails below 2.9V. It is intended to monitor 3.0V, 3.3V, or 5.0V domains, not sub-2.9V logic supplies.
Is APX803L-29SA-7 qualified for automotive applications?
The APX803L-29SA-7 itself is not AEC-Q100 qualified; however, Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., APX803L20-29SR-AU) in the same family. For automotive use, contact Diodes directly for PPAP-capable, IATF 16949-manufactured versions with full change control.
