Product details
Overview
APX803L40-40SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, providing precise 4.0V 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 in battery-powered instrumentation and portable embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L40-40SA-7 datasheet, APX803L40-40SA-7 pinout, APX803L40-40SA-7 application, or APX803L40-40SA-7 equivalent, this device supports critical power-monitoring decisions in low-quiescent-current designs where reset timing precision, thermal stability, and SOT23 footprint compatibility are essential.
Technical Context
The APX803L40-40SA-7 integrates a precision bandgap reference and comparator with built-in hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during VCC recovery. Its internal fixed 4.0V threshold eliminates external resistor networks and enables deterministic reset assertion at VCC < 4.0V and release at VCC > 4.06V (1.5% accuracy).
Reset timing is governed by an on-chip RC network delivering a nominal 450ms active timeout (292–608ms over temperature), with propagation delay under 20µs from VCC drop to RESET assertion. The open-drain output supports flexible pull-up configurations up to 5.5V and sinks ≥3.5mA at VOL ≤ 0.4V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | 4.0V ±1.5% - ensures reliable µP reset initiation when main supply falls below system-safe operating level |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA typical - imposes negligible load on coin-cell or energy-harvested power rails |
| Reset Timeout | 450ms nominal (292–608ms) - provides sufficient hold time for complete µP initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Propagation Delay | <20µs - guarantees rapid fault response without compromising system timing margins |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - enables wired-OR reset bus sharing and logic-level translation via external pull-up |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial and extended-temperature portable equipment environments |
| Hysteresis | 0.01×VTH (40mV) - prevents chatter during slow-rising VCC transitions near threshold |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (JEDEC TO-236AB), 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint, 1.45mm height, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Reference ground return path; must be low-impedance connection to system common |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; requires external pull-up to host logic rail (e.g., 3.3V) |
| 3 | VCC | Power input pin; monitors supply voltage directly; operates from 0.9V to 5.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required | Fixed 4.0V threshold and 450ms timeout eliminate resistors, capacitors, and layout area |
| High threshold accuracy | ±1.5% over temperature ensures consistent reset point across –40°C to +85°C without calibration |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.0µA typ. enables multi-year operation on single CR2032 cell in always-on monitoring applications |
| Fast reset assertion | <20µs delay guarantees immediate fault capture before µP executes unstable instructions |
| Robust ESD protection | ±4000V HBM rating protects against handling damage in automated assembly and field service |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 200ms default timeout, 1.6µA supply current | Designed for lower-voltage µP cores; lacks 4.0V option and longer timeout variants | Select when supervising 3.3V domains with tighter timing budgets and higher current tolerance |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 4.0V threshold, 140ms timeout, 10µA supply current, SOT23-3 | Higher quiescent current limits battery life; no 450ms option for slow-start systems | Choose only for legacy designs requiring pin-for-pin replacement with relaxed power constraints |
Compared with TPS3808G33DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, the APX803L40-40SA-7 uniquely delivers 4.0V detection with industry-leading 1µA current and configurable long-duration reset-making it optimal for next-generation portable and energy-constrained industrial controllers.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for APX803L40-40SA-7?
The APX803L40-40SA-7 has a factory-trimmed fixed threshold of 4.0V with ±1.5% accuracy over –40°C to +85°C. This means the actual trip point falls between 3.94V and 4.06V at +25°C, and remains within ±1.5% across its full operating temperature range per datasheet DS38171 Rev. 3-2.
Can APX803L40-40SA-7 drive a 10kΩ pull-up resistor to 5V?
Yes. The open-drain RESET output sinks ≥3.5mA at VOL ≤ 0.4V (tested at VCC = VTH – 0.2V), allowing reliable low-state operation with a 10kΩ pull-up to 5V (IPULLUP = 0.5mA). Total sink current remains well within the 20mA absolute maximum rating.
Does APX803L40-40SA-7 require an input capacitor on VCC?
No external capacitor is required for basic operation. However, a 100nF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed close to the VCC and GND pins is recommended per the typical application circuit in DS38171 to suppress high-frequency noise that could affect threshold stability during fast transients.
Is APX803L40-40SA-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No. APX803L40-40SA-7 is specified for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade alternatives such as the APX803L40-40SA-7Q (with Q suffix) for applications requiring PPAP and IATF 16949 compliance.
