Product details
Overview
APX803L40-18SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, providing precise 1.8 V threshold detection with ±1.5% accuracy, 450 ms reset timeout, 1 µA typical supply current, and open-drain active-low RESET output in SOT23 package - used in battery-powered IoT sensors and portable medical monitors to ensure reliable power-on reset sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L40-18SA-7 datasheet, APX803L40-18SA-7 pinout, APX803L40-18SA-7 application, or APX803L40-18SA-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated SOT23 pin mapping, real-world use cases in low-power embedded systems, and confirmed alternative parts with documented timing and threshold differences.
Technical Context
The APX803L40-18SA-7 implements a fixed-threshold voltage monitoring circuit with internal 1.8 V reference and hysteresis of 0.01 × VTH, enabling stable reset assertion during supply brownouts. Its comparator-based architecture triggers within 20 µs when VCC drops below 1.8 V and holds RESET active for exactly 450 ms after recovery.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient, supports 0.9–5.5 V supply range, and features an open-drain output capable of sinking 3.5 mA at 0.4 VOL, requiring no external pull-up for standard µP reset inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.8 V ±1.5% - ensures accurate power-fail detection for 1.8 V logic rails without calibration. |
| Reset Timeout | 450 ms (typ.) - guarantees sufficient hold time for slow-ramping supplies in battery-backed systems. |
| Supply Current | 1.0 µA (typ.), 2.5 µA (max) - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell-powered devices. |
| Response Time | 20 µs - provides fast fault response before µP executes corrupted instructions. |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - allows wired-OR reset bus sharing and compatibility with 1.2–5.5 V I/O domains. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - supports industrial-grade deployment in uncontrolled environments. |
| Hysteresis | 0.01 × VTH (≈18 mV) - prevents chatter during marginal supply conditions near threshold. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (JEDEC TO-236AB), 1.3 mm × 2.9 mm footprint, 1.45 mm height, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Reference ground return for internal comparator and output stage. |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset signal; requires external pull-up to host VCC. |
| 3 | VCC | Power input pin; supplies internal bandgap reference and comparator (0.9–5.5 V range). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required | Self-contained detection circuit eliminates RC timing networks and reduces BOM count by one part. |
| Fixed 1.8 V threshold | Factory-trimmed internal reference avoids manual resistor selection and layout sensitivity. |
| 450 ms reset timeout | Guaranteed minimum assertion period meets ARM Cortex-M and RISC-V boot loader timing requirements. |
| 1 µA supply current | Enables integration into always-on wake-up circuits without compromising battery life. |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy | Meets tight margin requirements for 1.8 V core supplies with 10% tolerance envelopes. |
Applications
| Wearable Health Monitor | Smart Sensor Node |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous ECG sampling powered by CR2032 coin cell with intermittent BLE transmission. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor asserting RESET until regulated 1.8 V rail stabilizes post-battery insertion or cold start. Use Value: Prevents firmware crash during undervoltage conditions; 450 ms timeout accommodates slow LDO ramp-up. |
Use Scenario: LoRaWAN environmental sensor logging temperature/humidity every 5 minutes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 1.8 V MCU core supply and triggers hardware reset if battery dips below safe operating level. Use Value: Eliminates software watchdog dependency; 1 µA quiescent current extends 10-year battery life target. |
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Portable Diagnostic Instrument |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted controller with isolated 1.8 V FPGA configuration rail. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects brownout on FPGA VCCINT and asserts synchronous reset to prevent partial bitstream loading. Use Value: ±1.5% threshold ensures reliable detection despite 85°C ambient and PCB trace resistance. |
Use Scenario: Handheld ultrasound probe with rechargeable Li-ion and dual-voltage analog front-end. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 1.8 V digital domain supply and coordinates power sequencing with analog bias rails. Use Value: Open-drain output interfaces directly to FPGA reset controller without level-shifting. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB18DBZR | 1.8 V threshold, 200 ms timeout, 0.5 µA ICC, SOT23-3 | Shorter timeout insufficient for slow-ramping LDOs in medical devices | Select when ultra-low current dominates over reset duration requirements |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 1.8 V threshold, 240 ms timeout, 10 µA ICC, SOT23-3 | Higher supply current reduces battery life in energy-constrained nodes | Choose only if legacy MAXIM design reuse mandates pin-for-pin compatibility |
Compared with TLV803EB18DBZR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L40-18SA-7 uniquely balances 450 ms guaranteed reset hold time with sub-µA quiescent consumption - critical for battery longevity in edge-sensing applications where both timing margin and energy efficiency are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout for APX803L40-18SA-7?
The APX803L40-18SA-7 provides a nominal reset active timeout of 450 ms, with min/max values of 292 ms and 608 ms respectively across temperature and process variation. This value is factory-set and does not require external timing components.
Can APX803L40-18SA-7 monitor supplies above 1.8 V?
No - the APX803L40-18SA-7 has a fixed internal 1.8 V detection threshold and cannot be adjusted. It is intended solely for monitoring 1.8 V rails; for higher voltages, Diodes offers variants like APX803L40-33SA-7 (3.3 V) or APX803L40-50SA-7 (5.0 V).
Is a pull-up resistor required on the RESET pin?
Yes - the RESET pin is open-drain and must be pulled up to the host system's logic supply (e.g., 1.8 V or 3.3 V) via an external resistor (typically 10–100 kΩ) to generate a valid high-level signal when inactive.
Does APX803L40-18SA-7 support automotive qualification?
No - APX803L40-18SA-7 is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive applications, Diodes recommends the APX803LQ series, which undergoes PPAP and is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities.
