Product details
Overview
APX803L40-16SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, providing precise 1.6V threshold detection with ±1.5% accuracy, 450ms reset timeout, 1µA typical supply current, and open-drain active-low RESET output in SOT23 package-used in battery-powered IoT sensors and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L40-16SA-7 datasheet, APX803L40-16SA-7 pinout, APX803L40-16SA-7 application, or APX803L40-16SA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include threshold voltage tolerance, reset delay stability over temperature, low-quiescent-current operation in sleep-mode systems, and compatibility with 1.8V/3.3V logic interfaces requiring clean power-up sequencing.
Technical Context
The APX803L40-16SA-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with internal hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during threshold crossing, and uses a dedicated internal timing circuit to generate a fixed 450ms reset pulse after VCC recovery-guaranteed across -40°C to +85°C ambient range.
Its open-drain RESET output supports wired-OR configuration with external pull-up, sinks up to 20mA, and achieves 20µs response time from VCC drop to RESET assertion, enabling reliable boot-time supervision of ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontrollers and low-voltage FPGAs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.6V ±1.5% - ensures accurate brown-out detection for 1.8V I/O domain power rails |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA typical - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in always-on monitoring nodes |
| Reset Timeout | 450ms (typ.) - provides sufficient hold-off for slow-ramping DC-DC converters and LDO stabilization |
| Response Time | 20µs - guarantees sub-cycle detection of transient supply dips affecting real-time MCU execution |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - allows flexible voltage-level translation and multi-device reset bus sharing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803E16DBVR | 1.6V threshold, 200ms reset delay, 0.5µA IQ, SOT23-3 | Lacks hysteresis specification; tighter temp drift (±100ppm/°C vs. ±50ppm/°C) | Prefer for ultra-low-power designs where shorter reset hold time suffices |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 1.6V threshold, 240ms reset delay, 10µA IQ, SOT23-3 | Higher supply current; no guaranteed hysteresis; wider threshold tolerance (±2.5%) | Acceptable for cost-sensitive consumer applications with less stringent power or accuracy requirements |
Compared with TLV803E16DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L40-16SA-7 delivers superior threshold stability over temperature, lower quiescent current than MAX809, and longer factory-calibrated reset timeout-making it optimal for industrial and medical edge devices requiring robust power sequencing.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and tolerance for APX803L40-16SA-7?
The APX803L40-16SA-7 has a nominal reset threshold of 1.6V with a guaranteed accuracy of ±1.5% over -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature and 0.9V to 5.5V supply range. This is factory-trimmed using bandgap reference technology and does not require external calibration.
Does APX803L40-16SA-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 to the host system's logic rail (e.g., 1.8V, 3.3V, or 5V) is mandatory. Typical values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ depending on bus capacitance and rise-time requirements.
Can APX803L40-16SA-7 operate from a 1.2V supply?
No-the minimum operating supply voltage is 0.9V, but the device requires VCC ≥ 1.02×VTH (≥1.632V) to guarantee proper reset timeout functionality. At 1.2V supply, the internal timing circuit and reference may not stabilize, resulting in undefined reset behavior.
Is APX803L40-16SA-7 qualified for automotive applications?
The APX803L40-16SA-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., APX803L40-16SA-7Q) with PPAP capability, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and extended temperature screening-but this specific part number is rated for industrial use only (-40°C to +85°C).
