Product details
Overview
APX803L40-39SA-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 3.9V detection threshold (±1.5% accuracy), 450ms reset timeout, 1µA typical supply current, open-drain active-low RESET output, and operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient range.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L40-39SA-7 datasheet, APX803L40-39SA-7 pinout, APX803L40-39SA-7 application, or APX803L40-39SA-7 equivalent, this device serves as a low-burden power-on reset supervisor with precise threshold control, fast 20µs response, and no external components required - critical for portable equipment, IoT edge nodes, and industrial controllers where supply stability and quiescent power are design constraints.
Technical Context
The APX803L40-39SA-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference and comparator architecture to detect VCC falling below 3.9V, triggering an active-low open-drain RESET signal. Its internal hysteresis (0.01×VTH) prevents oscillation during slow-rising or noisy supply transitions.
It integrates a programmable reset timeout of 450ms (typ.) after VCC recovery, ensuring reliable µP initialization before execution begins. The device requires no external capacitors or resistors, and its 1µA supply current enables use in always-on, energy-constrained subsystems without compromising battery life.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package: ultra-compact, lead-free, RoHS-compliant 3-pin surface-mount housing with standard JEDEC MO-178 footprint and 200°C/W thermal resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground Reference | Return path for internal circuitry; must be connected directly to system ground plane for stable threshold accuracy |
| 2 (RESET) | Open-Drain Output | Active-low reset signal; requires external pull-up resistor to host VCC or higher rail (≤5.5V); sinks up to 20mA |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply Input | Monitored power rail input; operates from 0.9V to 5.5V; supplies internal reference and comparator |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 3.9V Threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider, reducing BOM count and layout area while guaranteeing ±1.5% tolerance over temperature |
| 450ms Reset Timeout | Ensures full power stabilization and clock lock before releasing µP from reset, preventing boot failures in multi-rail systems |
| 20µs Detection Response | Minimizes window for undetected supply dips, protecting volatile register states and SRAM integrity during transient events |
| No External Components | Reduces design validation effort and eliminates component aging effects that degrade reset timing accuracy over product lifetime |
| Lead-Free & Halogen-Free | Complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and Diodes' "Green" definition (<900ppm Br+Cl, <1000ppm Sb), supporting eco-conscious manufacturing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| APX803L40-29SA-7 | Same 3.9V threshold and SOT23-3 package, but 220ms reset timeout (vs. 450ms) | Better suited for faster-boot MCUs or systems with tighter power-rail stabilization windows | Select when shorter reset hold time is needed without changing board layout or firmware |
| TLV803EB39DBVR | Texas Instruments part; 3.9V threshold, 200ms timeout, 0.5µA supply current, same SOT23-3 pinout | Lower quiescent current but tighter temp drift (±2.5% vs. ±1.5%) and no automotive-grade variants available | Choose for ultra-low-power designs where 0.5µA savings outweigh threshold accuracy trade-off |
Compared with APX803L40-29SA-7 and TLV803EB39DBVR, the APX803L40-39SA-7 offers the longest factory-programmed reset timeout (450ms) and highest threshold accuracy (±1.5%), making it optimal for systems requiring robust power-up sequencing and immunity to marginal supply conditions - especially where firmware boot time exceeds 300ms.

FAQ
What is the exact detection threshold voltage of APX803L40-39SA-7?
The APX803L40-39SA-7 has a factory-trimmed detection threshold of 3.9V with ±1.5% accuracy over –40°C to +85°C. This value is fixed internally and not adjustable; it corresponds to the "39" in the part number per Diodes' ordering convention (XX = threshold in 0.1V steps).
Does APX803L40-39SA-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 a valid logic rail (≤5.5V) is mandatory. Typical values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ depending on bus capacitance and rise-time requirements; no pull-down is permitted.
Can APX803L40-39SA-7 operate with supply voltages below 3.9V?
Yes - it functions with VCC as low as 0.9V (per Recommended Operating Conditions), enabling supervision of rails lower than its threshold (e.g., monitoring a 3.3V rail with 3.9V detection is invalid, but monitoring a 5.0V rail with 3.9V detection is valid). The device itself powers from the monitored rail.
Is APX803L40-39SA-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No - while the APX803L40-39SA-7 is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities, it is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, Diodes recommends contacting their sales team for PPAP-capable alternatives such as the APX803L40-29SA-7Q (Q-grade variant), which undergoes extended temperature and reliability testing.
