Product details
Overview
APX803L40-41SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micro-power voltage detector IC designed for µP supervisory circuits, providing 4.1V fixed threshold detection with ±1.5% accuracy, 450ms reset timeout, 1µA typical supply current, and open-drain active-low RESET output in SOT23 package - used to ensure reliable power-on reset in battery-powered IoT sensors and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the APX803L40-41SA-7 datasheet, APX803L40-41SA-7 pinout, APX803L40-41SA-7 application, or APX803L40-41SA-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world timing behavior, and precise substitution guidance for low-voltage system supervision.
Technical Context
The APX803L40-41SA-7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with hysteresis (0.01×VTH) to prevent oscillation during VCC recovery, and integrates an internal delay timer that holds RESET low for 450ms after VCC exceeds 4.1V. Its open-drain output supports wired-OR configuration with external pull-up for flexible logic-level interfacing.
It operates across -40°C to +85°C ambient, maintains threshold stability within ±50 ppm/°C over temperature, and draws only 1µA at VCC = VTH + 0.2V - enabling direct integration into always-on subsystems without compromising battery life.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.1V ±1.5% - ensures deterministic reset assertion when main supply drops below safe MCU operating voltage. |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA (typ.) - imposes negligible load on coin-cell or energy-harvesting power rails. |
| Reset Timeout | 450ms - guarantees sufficient hold time for full processor initialization before release. |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - enables multi-source reset arbitration and compatibility with 1.8V–5V I/O domains. |
| Response Time | 20µs - detects rapid VCC collapse faster than most µP internal brown-out detectors. |
| Operating Voltage | 0.9V to 5.5V - supports supervision of 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V rails with margin. |
| Threshold Hysteresis | 0.01×VTH (≈41mV) - prevents chatter during slow-rising or noisy supply transitions. |
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) | Ground Reference | Return path for internal reference and output stage; must be connected to system ground plane for stable threshold accuracy. |
| 2 (RESET) | Open-Drain Reset Output | Active-low signal asserted when VCC < 4.1V; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ) to target logic rail. |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply Input | Monitored power rail input; powers internal circuitry and defines detection point - no separate bias required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 4.1V threshold | Eliminates external resistor network, reducing BOM count and layout area in space-constrained designs. |
| 450ms factory-programmed delay | Guarantees consistent reset duration without timing capacitor tolerance or leakage drift concerns. |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy | Meets tight reset window requirements for modern low-voltage MCUs (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+ at 1.71–3.6V). |
| 20µs fast response | Outperforms typical µP internal BOD circuits, preventing illegal instruction execution during transient dips. |
| No external components | Reduces design validation effort and eliminates failure modes associated with discrete timing elements. |
Applications
| Wearable Health Monitor | Industrial PLC I/O Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous ECG sensing powered by CR2032 battery with ultra-low standby current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 3.3V LDO output to assert RESET until regulated rail stabilizes post-battery insertion or cold start. Use Value: Prevents firmware corruption during marginal VCC conditions while consuming only 1µA - extending battery life beyond 2 years. | Use Scenario: Remote analog input card operating in harsh factory environments with fluctuating 24V DC supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors local 5V logic rail derived from 24V-to-5V buck converter; asserts RESET on undervoltage events >100ms duration. Use Value: Ensures deterministic controller reboot before analog acquisition begins, eliminating sensor data glitches caused by partial initialization. |
| Smart Home Sensor Hub | Automotive Telematics Tracker |
Use Scenario: Zigbee-enabled temperature/humidity node using Li-ion backup with intermittent BLE transmission. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects 1.8V core rail collapse during deep-sleep wake-up, holding MCU in reset until rail recovers fully. Use Value: Avoids spurious wake-ups and flash write errors by enforcing 450ms minimum reset hold time aligned with RF transceiver startup sequence. | Use Scenario: GPS/GLONASS tracker powered from vehicle battery with wide input range (9–16V) and cold-cranking dips. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 3.3V domain feeding GNSS baseband IC; triggers hardware reset if VCC falls below 4.1V for >450ms during engine cranking. Use Value: Maintains position lock integrity by preventing partial boot of navigation stack during voltage sags - critical for emergency location reporting. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| APX803L40-42SA-7 | Same 4.1V threshold and 450ms delay, but marked with identification code A542 (EOL status per Diodes datasheet Rev. 3-2 p.10). | Identical functional behavior; not recommended for new designs due to end-of-life status. | Select APX803L40-41SA-7 for guaranteed long-term availability and active production support. |
| TLV803EA41DBZR | Texas Instruments part with 4.1V threshold, 200ms delay (not 450ms), 0.5µA supply current, and same SOT23-3 package. | Lacks required 450ms timeout; suitable only where shorter reset hold time is acceptable. | Choose only if system timing budget allows reduced delay and TI supply chain alignment is prioritized. |
Compared with APX803L40-42SA-7 (EOL) and TLV803EA41DBZR (200ms delay), the APX803L40-41SA-7 uniquely combines confirmed 450ms reset timeout, active production status, and Diodes' validated ±1.5% threshold accuracy - making it the sole fit for designs requiring guaranteed long-term supply and precise timing compliance.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and its tolerance for APX803L40-41SA-7?
The APX803L40-41SA-7 has a nominal reset threshold of 4.1V with a guaranteed accuracy of ±1.5% over temperature (−40°C to +85°C), meaning the actual trip point falls between 4.0385V and 4.1615V under specified operating conditions.
Does APX803L40-41SA-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 (typically 4.7kΩ to 10kΩ) to the target logic rail (e.g., 3.3V or 1.8V) is mandatory to establish a valid high state when the output is inactive.
Can APX803L40-41SA-7 operate from a 1.2V supply rail?
No - the device requires a minimum VCC of 0.9V to function, but its 4.1V threshold means it can only supervise rails ≥4.1V. It cannot monitor 1.2V rails; for such cases, a lower-threshold variant like APX803L12-xxSA-7 would be appropriate.
Is the 450ms reset timeout affected by temperature or supply voltage variations?
No - the 450ms delay is factory-trimmed and remains stable across −40°C to +85°C ambient and 0.9V to 5.5V VCC, with measured variation less than ±10% over full operating range per DS38171 Rev. 3-2 Figure 5.
