Product details
Overview
APX803L-31W5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, monitoring VCC supply levels in battery-powered and embedded digital systems. It features a fixed 3.1V 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-31W5-7 datasheet, APX803L-31W5-7 pinout, APX803L-31W5-7 application, or APX803L-31W5-7 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-31W5-7 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 3.1V and holds it low until VCC exceeds 3.1V + hysteresis.
It integrates a programmable delay timer (220ms nominal) that begins timing upon VCC recovery, ensuring stable microprocessor reset assertion. No external components are required - the device operates autonomously across -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature with 0.9V to 5.5V supply range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Threshold | 3.1V ±1.5% - ensures accurate brown-out detection for 3.3V logic rails without calibration. |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA typical - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Reset Timeout | 220ms (nominal) - provides sufficient hold time for slow-ramping power supplies and FPGA configuration sequences. |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - supports wired-OR reset bus architectures and flexible pull-up voltage selection (up to 5.5V). |
| Response Time | 20µs max - guarantees rapid fault detection before µP state corruption occurs during voltage sag. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature portable equipment deployment. |
| Package | SOT25 (5-pin) - provides GND, VCC, RESET, and two NC pins for mechanical stability and layout flexibility. |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 package: 5-pin surface-mount plastic package with exposed pad (not electrically connected); footprint compatible with JEDEC MO-178AB standard. Pin 1 = VCC, Pin 2 = RESET, Pin 3 = GND, Pins 4 & 5 = No Connection (NC).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input; powers internal reference and comparator; must be ≥0.9V for functional operation. |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain output; pulled low when VCC < 3.1V; requires external pull-up for logic-level compatibility. |
| 3 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference; must be connected directly to system ground plane for noise immunity. |
| 4, 5 | NC | No internal connection; may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical reinforcement per PCB layout best practice. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.0µA typ. - eliminates measurable impact on battery life in energy-constrained devices. |
| Fixed 3.1V threshold | Factory-trimmed, no external resistor network needed - reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| Hysteresis control | 0.01×VTH (≈31mV) - prevents chatter during slow VCC transitions near threshold. |
| Fast response | 20µs detection-to-output delay - meets tight timing budgets for real-time safety-critical resets. |
| Lead-free & RoHS3 compliant | Fully halogen- and antimony-free - satisfies global environmental compliance requirements for consumer and industrial products. |
Applications
| Smart Wearables | Industrial Sensors |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous heart-rate monitoring using coin-cell-powered wearable with BLE radio. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor asserting RESET during battery voltage sag below 3.1V to prevent firmware crash or data corruption. Use Value: Ensures deterministic restart after brown-out, preserving sensor calibration integrity and BLE connection state. |
Use Scenario: Remote temperature/humidity node deployed in unattended factory environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 3.3V rail powering MCU and analog front-end; holds RESET for 220ms during transient dips from EMI or load switching. Use Value: Prevents spurious reboots caused by short-duration supply disturbances, improving field reliability. |
| Medical Diagnostic Handhelds | POS Terminal Power Sequencing |
Use Scenario: Portable ultrasound probe requiring guaranteed boot integrity before high-voltage transducer activation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises main 3.3V supply and asserts active-low RESET to ARM Cortex-M7 until stable; 220ms delay aligns with FPGA configuration time. Use Value: Eliminates risk of partial initialization leading to unsafe transducer drive conditions. |
Use Scenario: Retail point-of-sale terminal with dual-rail (3.3V/5V) power architecture and secure element. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects 3.3V rail collapse and generates synchronized RESET pulse to MCU and secure crypto IC via shared open-drain bus. Use Value: Guarantees atomic reset across security-critical subsystems, preventing privilege escalation vulnerabilities. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| APX803L-31SA-7 | SOT23-3 package (3-pin); identical 3.1V threshold, 220ms delay, and electrical specs. | Limited PCB space; no NC pins - less mechanical robustness and no option for grounding unused terminals. | Select when board area is constrained and thermal dissipation <150mW suffices. |
| TLV803EA31DBZR | Texas Instruments part; same 3.1V threshold but 200ms nominal delay (±20%), 0.5µA supply current. | Higher accuracy over temperature (±0.5% vs ±1.5%) but lacks NC pins and has different pinout (VCC/RESET/GND top-view order). | Choose for ultra-low-power designs where 0.5µA savings outweigh layout redesign cost and qualification effort. |
Compared with APX803L-31W5-7, the SOT23 variant saves board space but sacrifices mechanical stability and grounding flexibility, while the TI TLV803 offers lower current and tighter tempco at the cost of non-drop-in replacement and reduced long-term supply assurance.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for APX803L-31W5-7?
The APX803L-31W5-7 has a factory-trimmed detection threshold of 3.1V with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature (-40°C to +85°C). This value is fixed internally and does not require external resistors or configuration. The hysteresis is 0.01×VTH (≈31mV), ensuring clean release above 3.131V.
Can APX803L-31W5-7 drive a 10kΩ pull-up resistor to 5V?
Yes - the open-drain RESET output can sink up to 20mA (absolute max) and is specified to maintain VOL ≤0.4V at ISINK = 3.5mA. With a 10kΩ pull-up to 5V, the resulting sink current is 0.5mA, well within specification and ensuring solid logic-low assertion under all operating conditions.
Is the SOT25 package thermally enhanced compared to SOT23?
No - the SOT25 (5-pin) and SOT23 (3-pin) variants share identical θJA = 200°C/W (JEDEC JESD51-2 standard). The two NC pins in SOT25 provide no thermal benefit but allow improved mechanical anchoring and optional grounding for EMI reduction in high-noise environments.
Does APX803L-31W5-7 require an input capacitor on VCC?
A 100nF ceramic capacitor is recommended between VCC and GND per the typical application circuit in the datasheet. It stabilizes the internal reference and improves noise immunity during fast transients, especially in noisy switch-mode power supply environments - omission may cause false resets under EMI stress.
