Product details
Overview
APX803L40-15SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, monitoring VCC supply levels in battery-powered and low-power digital systems. It features a fixed 1.5V detection threshold, ±1.5% accuracy, 450ms reset timeout, 1µA typical supply current, and open-drain active-low RESET output - enabling reliable power-on reset and brownout protection in portable instrumentation and IoT edge nodes.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L40-15SA-7 datasheet, APX803L40-15SA-7 pinout, APX803L40-15SA-7 application, or APX803L40-15SA-7 equivalent, this device delivers precise, low-burden voltage supervision with factory-set timing and no external components required - critical for space-constrained, energy-sensitive designs requiring deterministic reset behavior under varying supply conditions.
Technical Context
The APX803L40-15SA-7 integrates a precision bandgap reference, comparator, and internal delay timer to generate an active-low open-drain RESET signal when VCC drops below 1.5V (±1.5%). Its 450ms recovery delay is fixed at manufacture and stable across –40°C to +85°C operating ambient.
It operates from 0.9V to 5.5V supply, draws only 1µA typical current, and maintains 20µs response time from VCC drop to RESET assertion. The device requires no external capacitors or resistors, simplifying BOM and PCB layout while ensuring consistent timing across production lots.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Threshold | 1.5V ±1.5% - ensures accurate brownout detection for 1.8V/3.3V logic rails with minimal margin error. |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 450ms (typ.) - guarantees sufficient system stabilization before release of µP reset, eliminating premature boot attempts. |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA (typ.), 2.5µA (max.) - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries without measurable drain impact. |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - supports wired-OR reset bus configurations and flexible pull-up voltage selection (up to 5.5V). |
| Response Time | 20µs - provides rapid fault detection during fast transients, meeting µP reset setup requirements. |
| Operating Voltage Range | 0.9V to 5.5V - supports supervision of ultra-low-voltage MCUs (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+) and standard 3.3V/5V supplies. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint, 1.45mm height, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry; must be connected directly to system ground plane for noise immunity. |
| 2 (RESET) | Open-Drain Reset Output | Active-low signal asserted when VCC < 1.5V; requires external pull-up to define logic-high level and drive strength. |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply Input | Powers internal circuitry and monitors input rail; decoupling capacitor (100nF) recommended within 5mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required | Internal threshold, timing, and reference eliminate need for external R/C networks - reduces BOM count and layout area by ≥3 parts. |
| High threshold accuracy | ±1.5% over temperature - minimizes false resets and improves system reliability vs. ±3–5% alternatives. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1µA typical - extends battery life in always-on sensors and wearables beyond 10 years on CR2032. |
| Fast response time | 20µs VCC-to-RESET assertion - meets tight timing windows for modern low-latency MCUs and SoCs. |
| Robust ESD rating | ±4000V HBM - protects against handling damage during assembly and field service in unshielded environments. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G15DBVR | 1.5V threshold, 350ms delay, 1.1µA IQ, SOT23-6 package | Requires external pull-up and lacks factory-programmed delay; needs additional pin for manual reset input | Select when design requires manual reset capability or tighter delay tolerance (±10% vs. ±20% for APX803L) |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 1.5V threshold, 240ms delay, 10µA IQ, SOT23-3 package | Higher supply current reduces battery lifetime by ~10×; same pinout but different timing and accuracy (±2.5%) | Select only if legacy qualification or second-source validation mandates Maxim compatibility |

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout delay for APX803L40-15SA-7?
The APX803L40-15SA-7 has a factory-trimmed reset timeout delay of 450ms (typical), with a specified range of 292ms to 608ms across temperature and process variation. This delay begins when VCC rises above 1.02×VTH and ends when RESET deasserts, ensuring robust power-rail stabilization before system boot.
Can APX803L40-15SA-7 monitor a 3.3V supply directly?
Yes - the device operates from 0.9V to 5.5V and monitors any supply rail up to 5.5V. Its 1.5V threshold is independent of VCC; it asserts RESET when the monitored VCC falls below 1.5V, making it suitable for supervising 3.3V rails where brownout occurs near 1.5V (e.g., post-LDO dropout or battery sag).
Is an external pull-up resistor required on the RESET pin?
Yes - the RESET pin is open-drain and active-low. A pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ to 100kΩ) must connect between RESET and the target logic rail (e.g., 3.3V or 1.8V) to define the high-state voltage and provide sufficient sink current for the µP's reset input.
Does APX803L40-15SA-7 support operation below –40°C?
No - its specified operating ambient temperature range is –40°C to +85°C. While some units may function below –40°C, electrical characteristics including threshold accuracy (±1.5%), delay timing, and supply current are not guaranteed outside this range per the official DS38171 Rev. 3-2 datasheet.
