Product details
Overview
APX803L40-36SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, providing precise 3.6V threshold detection with ±1.5% accuracy, 1µA typical supply current, and 450ms reset timeout. It features open-drain active-low RESET output and operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient range in battery-powered IoT sensors and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L40-36SA-7 datasheet, APX803L40-36SA-7 pinout, APX803L40-36SA-7 application, or APX803L40-36SA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include threshold voltage tolerance, reset delay stability over temperature, low-quiescent-current impact on system battery life, and SOT23 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The APX803L40-36SA-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with internal hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during VCC recovery. Its comparator architecture triggers reset when VCC drops below 3.6V and holds RESET low until VCC exceeds 3.618V (VTH + VHYS).
Reset assertion occurs within 20µs of VCC crossing the falling threshold, and the fixed 450ms timeout ensures reliable processor initialization after brownout. The open-drain output supports wired-OR configuration and external pull-up flexibility up to 5.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | 3.6V ±1.5% - guarantees deterministic reset activation at precisely defined supply rail margin |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA typical - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered wearables without measurable battery drain |
| Reset Timeout | 450ms - satisfies ARM Cortex-M boot timing requirements and avoids premature firmware execution |
| Response Time | 20µs - ensures immediate fault capture during fast transients, critical for real-time control loops |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial-grade embedded systems deployed in uncontrolled environments |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - allows level-shifting, shared-bus reset signaling, and compatibility with 1.8V–5V logic families |
Pinout & Package
APX803L40-36SA-7 is housed in a RoHS-compliant 3-pin SOT23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for automated placement and thermal performance (θJA = 200°C/W). Pin 1 is GND, Pin 2 is RESET (open-drain), and Pin 3 is VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Reference ground return path; must be connected to system power plane with low-impedance trace |
| 2 | RESET | Active-low open-drain output; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ to VCC or higher logic rail) |
| 3 | VCC | Power input pin; accepts 0.9V–5.5V supply; decoupling capacitor (100nF) required within 2mm of pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% at +25°C - eliminates need for external trimming resistors or calibration in production test |
| Temperature Coefficient | 50 ppm/°C - maintains <±2.5% total threshold drift over full –40°C to +85°C operating range |
| No External Components | Self-contained detection circuit - reduces BOM count, PCB area, and assembly cost vs. discrete comparator solutions |
| Lead-Free & Green | Halogen- and antimony-free (<900ppm Br+Cl, <1000ppm Sb) - meets IPC-1752A material declaration and automotive ELV compliance |
Applications
| Smart Wearable Sensor Node | Industrial PLC I/O Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803E36DBVR | 3.6V threshold, ±2.5% accuracy, 350ms timeout, 0.5µA IQ | Lower accuracy and shorter timeout; no hysteresis spec provided | Prefer for ultra-low-power designs where 450ms is excessive and ±2.5% tolerance is acceptable |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 3.6V threshold, ±2.0% accuracy, 240ms timeout, 12µA IQ | Higher supply current; only available in SOT23-3 but lacks extended temp rating | Choose if legacy MAXIM footprint compatibility is required and 12µA IQ is tolerable in system budget |
Compared with TLV803E36DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, APX803L40-36SA-7 delivers tighter threshold accuracy (±1.5% vs. ±2.0–2.5%), longer and more stable timeout (450ms vs. 240–350ms), and lower supply current than MAX809 while maintaining industrial temperature support.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for APX803L40-36SA-7?
The APX803L40-36SA-7 has a nominal reset threshold of 3.6V with guaranteed accuracy of ±1.5% over temperature (–40°C to +85°C), meaning the actual trip point falls between 3.546V and 3.654V at +25°C and remains within ±2.5% over full operating range due to 50 ppm/°C temperature coefficient.
Can APX803L40-36SA-7 drive a 10kΩ pull-up resistor to 5V?
Yes-the open-drain RESET output is rated for 20mA sink current and guarantees VOL ≤ 0.4V at ISINK = 3.5mA. With a 10kΩ pull-up to 5V, the output will reliably reach <0.1V when asserted, satisfying standard CMOS logic low thresholds across all process corners and temperatures.
Is there a recommended bypass capacitor value and placement for APX803L40-36SA-7?
A 100nF ceramic capacitor is specified in the datasheet and must be placed within 2mm of the VCC and GND pins. This minimizes high-frequency impedance and prevents false resets caused by supply rail ringing during digital switching events on adjacent circuits.
Does APX803L40-36SA-7 meet automotive qualification standards?
No-APX803L40-36SA-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes Incorporated offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., APX803L40-36SA-7Q) with PPAP documentation, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and extended temperature screening; contact Diodes sales for qualified part numbers.
